Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) by Nick H — 26 Jan 2016
Mockingjay Part 2 is definitely a step up from Mockingjay Part 1. Mockingjay Part 1 was bad, and there was no reason to split Mockingjay up, but that's the thing nowadays (Twilight, Harry Potter, etc.
). However, Mockingjay Part 2 brings the book to film amazingly. Mockingjay Part 2 was what I wanted to see in Part 1, and didn't get. There are problems, of course. The first problem is small, but still matters.
It's a word I hate saying: Shaky Cam. Yes, there was some, yet little, Shaky Cam. Most of this appears in action sequences, and isn't too obvious, except for a certain part. In one part, the team is in sewers, and are running from monsters.
The Shaky Cam is so bad here, I closed my eyes for a few seconds. It was bad. Thankfully, that was the only big issue with this. The other main problem is Peeta. Josh Hutchison does great in this part, but the character himself is the problem.
As we saw in Part 1, Peeta is brainwashed and evil. This suddenly changes, however, and he likes Katniss again. It reminded me of Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. Other than those, the movie is great, and deserves a B+ (4 stars).
