Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) by Annataryoung — 02 Dec 2015
Having followed the series casually, enjoying it but not exceptionally so, I can say that Mockingjay: Part 2 earns brownie points for capping off a series without ruining it in the finale. It was emotionally hitting even to someone who wasn't wholly invested in the story and the moments of genuine tension were enthralling. The end did feel a little rushed though.
Jennifer Lawrence delivered a pretty fantastic performance as Katniss Everdeen (still one of the daftest names for a character ever, regardless of their position as the series' protagonist) although it was clear that there were a few flaws with the character's core writing and consistency.
The same can be said for Donald Sutherland, who commanded a respectable and powerful presence as an actor despite his character, President Snow, once again being somewhat thin.
All in all, this wasn't a bad movie but I'd hardly call it this year's biggest blockbuster. Some of the dialogue was a little repetitive and some of the scenes dragged a bit.
