Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) by Carlosgz — 21 Nov 2015
The Hunger Games book trilogy is one I could recommend to anyone, and as a fan of it, there was only one thing that left me unsatisfied: how Katniss ended up basically becoming a housewife with Peeta. Her true destiny was to live adventurously ever after with Gale *sob*.
And I really thought this final installment would give Katniss the ending she deserves. All in all, however, this is a solid and complete final chapter for a franchise that has made young people learn about the idea of standing up for yourself and understand how the misuse of power can make for a corrupt, violent environment.
As a fan of the books, I am left satisfied, if not for how they sticked with the book's ending. Also, having appreciated Francis Lawrence's previous adaptations, I didn't expect less. Jennifer Lawrence (who sometimes I overpraise) is purely magnetic as the Mockingjay and I don't think anyone else could've played her as wonderfully as she did.
Conclusion: The Hunger Games ends its run somewhat similar to Harry Potter's in the way that it didn't compromise the authenticity of the literary works for commercial aspects. Franchises, after all, tend to be disgusting (Divergent, The Maze Runner, etc.
, etc.), so it's a glorious feeling that all fans will get to experience such an emotional yet genuine closure.
