Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) by Chazd3 — 26 Nov 2015
Jennifer Lawrence was terrific. The ending was satisfying in a very happily ever after sort of way. The beginning outlining the impossibility and danger of the trek to the palace was a nice setup. In between however was sorely lacking in believability. The trip of 76 city blocks to the capitol center taken underground felt like about 7 blocks. The goofy eyeless man snake lizardy fanged thingies came out of nowhere and faded almost as weirdly and quick after polishing off a couple of folks. The stadium filled with freed inhabitants who had been fighting and starved and sick and helpless for years was filled by what looked liked a bazillion people. Absurdly unrealistic. The "big moment" at the end was telegraphed so far in advance all I could say was, so do it already, tired of waiting.
The ending and quality of effects saved it from being disappointing but the slow first half followed by strangely fortuitous action sequences in the second half made this merely ok.
