Storyline
As the war of Panem escalates to the destruction of other districts by
the Capitol, Katniss Everdeen, the reluctant leader of the rebellion,
must bring together an army against President Snow, while all she holds
dear hangs in the balance.
The Hunger Games Mockingjay part 2 is the lackluster finale to the Hunger Games franchise. Because it's the new awful trend in Hollywood now to split the last book of a series in two parts, Hunger Games did the same to Mockingjay. This is the film where everything finally comes to a head. The districts band together, everyone hates the Capitol, and the uprising of the Capitol finally commences. Katniss is in the middle of it all trying to rally everyone together and stop the evil President Snow. To me Part 1 was a very unnecessary movie and I really thought it was a big waste of my time. This book did not need to be two films. The biggest issue with Part 1 was how slow moving. There was so much filler to make a two hour movie that on some points it was dreadfully slow and went no where. The same happened here. There was so much filler that half of this movie was a waste of time. The pacing in this movie is so awful that at some points it's really hard to watch. Sometimes that slowness works but only for a few scenes. Every other time it's to fill in the gaps of the hour of the movie that actually mattered. You just sit in your seat and beg that something will happen. Unlike in part 1 things do happen. The action scenes in this film are fantastic. (Frankly there was one scene that made me feel like I was watching Aliens but I digress.) They unfortunately don't last long. The action scenes are great but there just isn't enough of them to make up for the painfully slow movie that is the rest of the movie. A serious tone can be good in some aspects but it goes from a very realistic film to summer blockbuster action sequences, to sometimes taking itself way to seriously that I got sucked out of the film in a lot of areas and had o re-immerse just to get sucked out again. Honestly the only real positive that I can give where it was like it the entire series was the acting. The acting in the entire series is great. Especially Jennifer Lawrence. She is great as always. She is really the only redeeming quality of these films. If you are a Hunger Games fan it is definitely the conclusion you wanted and you will probably enjoy it a lot. Overall, Mockingjay part 2 is pretty mediocre. It is super dark with not a lot of hope or happy attached to it. The acting is great and a few action scenes are terrific. However between all of the filler areas and the horrible pacing and the things that really do not matter at all it really kills the movie. It is however better than part 1 so at least there's that. What did you think about Mockingjay Part 2? Message me your thoughts and comments on the movie.
