The conclusion to the Hunger Games series comes to an end with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. Having rescued Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) from the Capitol’s grip, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) now turns her focus back on the war between the districts and the Capitol.
The real issue with this film was how it affected the characters. It was essential for the plot, but I think it really hurt it in the end. Most of the characters were no longer who we remember them to be just a year ago. Many of them received little screen time. Most of that was reserved for crying Katniss. Overall, the film was glum and although it had some strengths, I was mostly disappointed by the lack of progression. Most films have a beggining middle and end, even if it is a lead in film. This film showed no evolution. I am hoping Part 2 will turn it around and show some resolve.
