The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2015)

Genre: Science-Fiction
Directed by: Francis Lawrence
Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth
Running time: 137 minutes



Katniss Everdeen and a group of rebels travel to the Capitol of Panem to finish their fight against the tyrannical president Snow and kill him. But, Katniss comes to realize that the president of the rebels, Alma Coin, may have a very dangerous hidden agenda.

It was really time for this story to conclude as it was losing some steam in my book. In Mockingjay Part 2, the acting did not feel as inspired and crisp as in the previous three films. And, the film dragged on a little too long. By the end of it, I could not wait for the closing credits. There was a good climax, and then it kept on going.

Still, this whole story conveys a very interesting message about how power corrupts and the fact that what is sometimes perceived as a better option is not always what it seems. This last film of the franchise also offers some very nice visual. Overall, this one is worth seeing if only to get some closure on the story of Katniss Everdeen.
