Instead there are many dialogues and some of them are boring. In addition the political correctness is so obvious and annoying, women everywhere and they are so powerful and strong, blabla. Please dont cast Juliane Moore, she is so ugly -.-
The last half hour is a bit more interesting and some of the action scenes were good, but they dont save the rest of the movie.

A slight improvement over part 1 but that's not saying much. It has a few exciting moments and the cast is worth the price of admission but Mocking jay part 2 brings a franchise that started out fairly strong to an almost disappointing conclusion.

If there's anything good about this movie is Jennifer Lawrence. And she portrays Katniss very well. Everdeen (still a dumb name) is pretty much weighed down by the 3-movie war, and her facial expression is more than an indication of that. SoIf there's anything good about this movie is Jennifer Lawrence. And she portrays Katniss very well. Everdeen (still a dumb name) is pretty much weighed down by the 3-movie war, and her facial expression is more than an indication of that. So while the movie worked on that aspect, it ultimately dragged too long. I like using the word "drag" because intensifies that notion of something being slowly, really slowly drawn out, which happens here to my annoyance. Another thing, splitting the franchise's major conclusion is beyond irritating. It's tiresome, makes no sense, and affects the two-part films in predictable outcomes. If you want to make a movie about Snow's conflict with Katniss and build the world around them, that's fine by me, but for that, you have a long runtime, and editors. Yes, that's what editors are for. I hate when movies like these start off where the predecessor concluded. It just feels like I'm watching an extended episode of a TV Show and I pause at the very middle, one year later I continue the episode. This year's Maze Runner did it the same thing, though that movie was more of a crapfest.

Visually, it's sound -- no question about it. The CGI is passable, and the cinematography is amazing. The camerawork is fine when the action isn't taking place in the cliché-ridden sewers scene. That scene with the zombies was more clichéd than anyone could fathom. The writers must have found their ways into copycatting similar jump scares, cheap jump scares. There's that scene where a character stares at the bottom of the sewer, and the last second is riddled with zombies coming out of nowhere. Yeah, 3 seconds ago everything was so quiet, I'm not buying that. It's just one of those few familiar YA tropes that really isn't effective.

Do I recommend this movie? Only if you're a fan of the genre or even of Lawrence. I liked the action, the effects, I even liked the theme of the film, but this thing is getting so tiring. It's like eating stale bread from a stale store... oh well.

Final Score: 6.5/10

This film builds up very well but it doesn’t fully realise where it means to be and it just wasn’t that great. I’m not a big fan of The Hunger Games Franchise but I don’t hate it at the same time, these films are all just ok at the end of the day and I am kind of glad I am done with them. If you enjoyed the previous films you probably will enjoy this one, but I am not making any guarantees on that. The action is good and I will say the build up to most of the acting is well done, but other than that I can’t give much praise to this one, especially the pointless nature of the 3D which feels like just another way to squeeze more money out of its fans. Overall, not really my thing, you could probably wait for this one to come out on DVD although I suspect you will be waiting a while, as this one will probably do very well at the Box Office. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By now, I have seen every book and watched every movie of the series. But my enthusiasm has gradually decreased with each installment. Reaching the fourth movie, I saw it solely because I had seen and read everything else. Of course Mockingjay Part 2 was going to be a marketing gimmick. I don't even know at this point if it followed the book, and I don't even care.

I can't say I would even call myself a fan of The Hunger Games, but it had potential – at one point. There are moments of brilliance that were begging to be brought out, like the killing of President Coin, yet I was left feeling like it didn't really matter. This dystopian world could have ben powerful and gripped our hearts, but the movie lost its way and fell into the typical trap of the love triangle. Thank god for Phillip Seymour-Hoffman. If it weren't for his performance shining through in a select few moments, I would be a little more down overall. Still breaks my heart that we don't see more of his role.

I think Jennifer Lawrence tried her best to make this last glimpse of the franchise a success, but what could she do? She's aged several years since the release of the first movie, as has her audience – including myself. Stretching out the story for four years is bound to lose the originality and Mockingjay is no exception. We're different people and we've grown apart.

It's start was especially slow and I think they could of recapped the key points from Part 1 a lot quicker. It also wasn't just Haymitch and Effie who were underused it was many of the main characters. Part 2 is defiantly the worst film of the series and I was hoping for a better ending but it is worth a watch when it comes onto DVD. Expand

Mostly a dull affair, with a few exciting moments. I liked the previous 3 films but this one certainly shows why it was a questionable decision to split the final novel in half.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally not being a fan of the books I really enjoyed the setting and darker tones this franchise has to offer up. However this instalment yet still entertaining and worth a watch was definitely my least favoured of the four. This isn't much of a review, though I'm simply pointing out my memorable highs, lows and gripes off the top of my head.

Right off the bat this movie tosses in the burden of war which is great, the only problems being that in retrospec I can't really remember much of what happened in act 1. Following the events of Part 1 Katniss had lost her voice though this is quickly resolved. I'm no biology expert or know anything regarding the books, though I'd have like to have seen her without a voice for much longer, perhaps even to the end. By this point Katniss is looking very much invincible, the idea of her struggling to talk while undergoing her journey would not only compliment her character, but make for an even more gripping story. Having to fight to speak up on camera etc.

The traps in this one were fairly nice to see, however due to the device I feel like we had missed out on a lot more. Granted they couldn't add in too many and they had a small squad, but I'd like to have seen more from that. Perhaps even them and the peacekeepers battling it out in trap central.

The sewers scene was probably the one that stood out most for me. Having been a big ALIEN nerd through high school this scene really set the mood and tone. The suspense was done so right and was genuinely a small clip that I just loved. I even half expected a Xenomorph to pop out.

In terms of the tone of this movie I feel like it had gone a bit under following the previous. There was a sense on need and hopelessness, but it seemed nowhere near as great as in the last two. Obviously there were some darker moments towards the end, however the wrap up seemed a bit too rushed for to have much of an impact. I'd have liked a longer build even though I wouldn't say I loved the ending either. Very much seemed like Katniss was knocked off of her pedestal at this point. Like she had no impact on the whole movie what so ever til her choices at very end; which was predictable by then.

Personally though this movies biggest flaw is character development. I get this is Katniss's story, but over the past two films they have introduced so many interesting characters that the just don't bother flushing out. Natalie Dormer's character and her team were a group I really wanted to know more about and grow to love. I mean a group of capital film makers now soldiers? That's fuel for a movie alone I think. Granted they did dip in a little with some of them but it only seemed to be there for advancing the plot. Plutarch was another. I wanted to know his thinking, his master plan at the end. What was his ideal outcome? who was he before this? why was he fighting for this cause?

Johanna was another heavy hitter for me. She was a fierce character who clearly had witnessed probably the absolute worst of the capital. I wanted to know what happened before and after the games? Instead she is just there again to push forward the plot.

Peeta was an odd one in this movie. I love the idea of him having to find himself again while battling the need to kill Katniss. However I'm undecided if he had become more interesting or more boring through this? He did pour out a few feelings, but I'd have like to have been hit with more venerability to actually feel more at one with the character.

Gale was a character I found fairly boring anyways. However in the second movie and some of the third he did grow on me slightly. However as he shew his military colours early in this you kinda see where their relationship is going. It was almost as if he wasn't even fighting to get Katniss's approval in the end, he kinda just accepted the outcome.

Overall I'd say see it if you've seen the rest at the cinema. However if you're not too fussed this is very skipable. In the end it had a slightly bitter sweet finale, though I'd have liked it to had hit me harder with more loss. I really do feel like not enough people died in this movie and not many deaths seemed meaningful. Main reason I'd give it what I did was that it had some nice scenes and some good ideas, but fell really short for me. Plus points for the 'ALIENS' scene.

If anyone actually read this, well done. And apologies should there be any grammar errors.

Half a movie. It worked for the Deathly Hallows since it's seven hundred pages long, but it does not work much here. You might as well mush these movies together, edit some stuff out for length, and make one great movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The end game seem to focus on the relationship between the Heroine and Peter. Which to tell you the truth was WAY more interesting than all the war stuff going on around. The heroine actually felt surplus to the requirements of the war effort. It wasn't until the very end the Heroine had one truly standout moment. So basically a love story with distracting war stuff going off in the background. Expand

This is an example of another series that simply went on too long and lost all of the magic and shock factor it started with. As a reader of the books, I generally knew what was going to happen and when it was going to happen. What drew me inThis is an example of another series that simply went on too long and lost all of the magic and shock factor it started with. As a reader of the books, I generally knew what was going to happen and when it was going to happen. What drew me in to the first two movies were the visualizations of things I had read about several times. With three films preceding this one, all of the "wow" factor is gone. With Mockingjay - Part 1, I said that the only way you could really appreciate the film was if you had read the books, Mockingyay - Part 2 is the opposite; you will enjoy this film more if you have not read the books. I suppose this is to be expected as it is the end of the series. The first mistake is that the cut between Part 1 and Part 2 was put in the wrong spot. The climax of part 1 should have been the events in District 2. In the book, it was a very important part of Katniss' character development. I felt putting it at the beginning of this film caused it to be glossed over and more of an afterthought.I wasn't crazy about how this film did not include or glossed over events that were very important for Katniss' character development. I think it left a hole in the story. In the books, Katniss does not smuggle herself into the capital, she actually does training at District 13 and it is an pretty important developmental and rehabilitative experiment for her. This movie does not adequately portray how messed up Katniss is after Peeta attacks her. Yes, it is an easy sequence to delete, but I feel it is an important part of the story and it is a part of the books where Jena Malone's character is pretty important. I felt the lack of focus on the other characters was a mistake in this film. The Hunger Games series is written in first person, so one of the major areas where this film could have differentiated itself was in that it is third person. I felt just really tired of Katniss by the end of this film. Jennifer Lawrence is a good, not great actor, so she really shouldn't have the camera on her 90% of the time as it was in this film as her weaknesses become more and more apparent the more you see her. There were other good actors in this film, they should have been more involved. One of the best characters, Haymitch, is almost nowhere to be found for example. Overall, this is an average film. It's not terrible, but it's definitely not good. Expand

The last--maybe--of "The Hunger Games" entitled "Mockingjay Part 2" has arrived to tie up the loose ends of the 3 young adult book series turned into 4 films that made Jennifer Lawrence a star.

It is too long, running 2 hours and 17 minutes, too many and too dark with scenes taking place underground and low lit scenes even above ground.

The older adults are mainly given cameos to do such as Stanley Tucci who is on screen for about a minute while Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died a year and a half ago is inserted as if to say 'see what we can do', while Woody Harrelson comes and goes with one minutes scenes. Donald Sutherland fights for his power continuing his heartlessness and Elizabeth Banks does her scene stealing campy appearance. Julianne Moore--never thought I would say this--is colorless in a colorless written role. Jeffrey Wright comes and goes before you can even realize it his him.

Loose ends regarding kid sister Prim (Willow Shields), the 'is he or isn't he' brainwashed problem regarding Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and his competition with Gale (Liam Hemsworth) is played out while the squad team consisting of Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Natalie Dormer and Mahershala Ali lend support to the leads as do Paula Malcomson, Evan Ross, Wes Chatham, Eugenie Bondurant and Elden Henson.

The revelation of Jennifer Lawrence, as Katniss Everdeen, from the first film to this closing one shows the growth of an actress fitting into her body and being able to express her thoughts without saying a word is, if nothing else, the gift of "The Hunger Games" to the world of movies. She has shown her versatility in these movies along with "Silver Linings Playbook", "American Hustle" and she is the only one who could make me see "X-Man"! I am eagerly awaiting "Joy".

The direction by Francis Lawrence along with the screenplay by Peter Craig and Danny Strong, along with adaptation by Suzanne Collins based on her trilogy, falters when it comes to the multiple endings as if they just didn't want the series to end. Here and there are a few twists that were expected and some that weren't--at least by me--which adds to a film's interest.

At some points the musical background is jarring while during the many generated computer special effects by Steve Cremin and WSalter Garcia the audience will be pulled out of the story.

"Mockingjay Part 2" will satisfy followers of the books, the movies and Jennifer Lawrence and I am definitely one of the latter!

A necessary finishing touch with an unnecessary lag.

If the single book 'The Hobbit' was extended to three movies, then that's alright, because that was a large concept with hundreds of unique characters which can take the stretch in narration. But for this series, lucky to be the first film to get away with a big hit, mainly because of teen audience.

Honestly, I liked the 2nd film very much, but the third movie was a letdown, especially this one was utterly useless. Because the 80% of the story ended in the previous part and in this, it was a necessary finishing touch with an unnecessary lag.

Might have been a better film if the 'Mockingjay' was a single movie. Nowadays there are many strange ways to make money, the art of storytelling in the movies is slowing vanishing while adapting a book for the silver screen by splitting them into two and/or three. This culture has to stop, the book fans are enjoying the original masterpiece, while film fanatic like me is suffering a setback. In this 2 hour long movie there are lots of scenes that simply wastes time to bring sufficient runtime.

Due to the circumstances that I mentioned, the flow was disturbed, mainly because of the release gap between the last two films. Emotions are not felt, actions were weakened, you could only recognise it rushing towards the conclusion. And that section should have been the ultimatum, what comes later is what we call 'happily ever after or the other way' should have been very brief, but in here it was not. Like a new beginning of a new story, it went on too far.

From the screenwriter's perspective that has to be done. I had seen the split movies like 'Twilight', 'Harry Potter' and others, but this one was the worst among them. Even if you try all the four movies in a single sitting, the first two will be the best you can get and the followed two would surely disappoint you because of the slowness.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The world and life of both the Hunger Games and Katniss Everdeen is a wonderful tale. The sad post-apocalyptic world is an interesting story while keeping us on the edge of our seats. The final chapter could have extended this and had a finale that would have been fantastic in scope. Sadly this didn't live up to the hype many was hoping for. The flaws out way the good in this final chapter.

Everdeen now has to deal with the aftermath of Peeta almost killing her to try and fight a enemy that never sleeps. The resistance takes President Snow's last defense before the Capital. They push onto the capital where Snow has made an assortment of traps to stop the forces of the resistance. Though President Coin won't allow the "Mockingjay" to die in the front lines, so she sneaks onto the battlefield. Armed with a team of people introduced in the last movie, Everdeen has to face her face last obstacle. The 76th Hunger Games has begun.

The movie starts off halfway into the movie. Like many other part 1 and part 2 movies in the past (Harry Potter and Hobbit), the movie have to of course fill in minutes by giving the audience filler. Like the Hobbit, it drags for great amount of time. However, the pacing issues aren't really the biggest flaws. They're relevant and easily scene, though the director decided to not clump them all together. Can't deny that they're there though. Moments where we're just given some exposition while other scenes of them not doing anything are thrown at us for three minutes at a time.

It would be acceptable if those moments drove the story along or made for great character development. Though they're plainly obvious fillers, which bong down the time and kill the action and adventure tone. Scenes that could have kept an amazingly different pace, are slowed down so the movie won't end too early. The main source for this was the last movie. The last movie ended too far into the book, because nothing really happened in the last one. They had to end it at the part with Peeta because the movie would have felt boring otherwise. This results in the final chapter only being a quarter of the book that's stretched out into a 2 hour and 17 minute affair. Again, this wasn't even the worst part of the film.

The worst parts of the film is the tone switches. The grim nature of the film is switched for cheap gimmicks throughout the film. The problem with talking about these gimmicks is that it will spoil parts of the film that are key. That won't happen in this review, but there might be a spoiler review coming up soon.

There's been many stories of Suzanne Collins (author of the books) rushing the last book because of some contract disputes. It really feels like it in this one. *Small spoiler* Instead of us getting to know some of the characters in the film, she just kills them off because she really hits home the dread of the world. The sad and grim nature of the last book is translated into the film. However, the director and screenwriters still don't give even a small amount of time dedicated to character development for these characters. They're thrown into the film and are instantly taken out. This just makes the whole experience feel like a gimmick. Also, characters loved in the first two films are sometimes gone without any remorse. Some of these characters are gone and nothing is said about them afterwards. Characters which are beloved in the film. This doesn't always have to do with them dying though, but just disappearing from the film all together. Don't know if fault has to be laid on Collins or Francis Lawrence (the director). Though its a flaw that should be addressed. All of these flaws lead to one of the most disappointing endings this year.

The end to the film won't be spoiled for those who haven't watched it. However, there's key parts of the ending that are extremely flawed. Some of the characters who die are randomly in locations for them to get killed in. Also, there's certain little tiny flaws (people would maybe say it's nitpicking) that are thrown right in the audience's face. It's hard not to notice them and it turns the film into what it was trying so hard not to do. Some might not find the ending predictable. However, it really was. The predictable ending steams from a rushed ending. It feels like a house without anything holding it up. This knocks down every other great aspect of the previous films, resulting in a conclusion that feels rushed while also being dragged on for a couple of minutes. The director seems to rush into the ending while not really having a clear cut one. It's convoluted in a unnecessary way. It's not necessary the directors fault, as he has to rely on material that's flawed on its own. The grim and not happy ending is very refreshing, and gives the true tone of what the final chapter is trying to portray. However, the flaws can't be overlooked.

Overall, the great things about the movie are overshadowed by the good. The actors did a fine job, but the movie doesn't allow them to shine besides Jenifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson (which character is the only one who gets any character development in the whole movie). The movie is better than the last one, because stuff actually happens, however it doesn't give the series the great sendoff it deserves. The film is similar to Spectre, a somewhat fun movie, overshadowed by flaws.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So apparently I am in the minority of people who actually loved Mockingjay so it disappointed me particularly that the final film was such a dud. The book had several very emotional moments, powerful moments that were completely butchered in the movie. They had none of the weight they were supposed to have.

Usually I try to remain spoiler free in my reviews but this simply has to be mentioned. In the book we see Katniss mentally damaged following the events of the previous two books and none of that appears in the film, only briefly in Part 1. After Prim's death she has a complete breakdown, the part where she is yelling at Buttercup (the cat) is the most tear-jerking moment in the story. Yet in the film it all remains emotionless and Katniss seems barely moved by her sister's death.

Emotionless. That would be a good word to describe this film. I almost wouldn't mind if they had changed the story and at least went out with a bang so we could have a grand ending to the series. But it feels like the makers lost heart for this franchise.

Obviously splitting Mockingjay into two movies was a bad call. And even then they didn't have time for important stuff, but other parts are unnecessary dragged out. Overall this movie might be of interest to fans of the series and but I don't see what interest it would be to anyone else.

Katniss Everdeen: "Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol!".

The story in Mockingjay Part 2 is Katniss fully embracing her role as the face of the district revolution in the "Mockingjay" she leads an all-out assault on the capital to bring down President Snow and his autocratic rule once and for all.

After the dull filler that was Mockingjay Part 1, I mean splitting movies into two parts isn't a great idea with some book adaption movies that don't need it, because the books themselves were not long and flowed together nicely. And yes Harry Potter did the splitting movies into two because well, the book itself was freaking huge, so huge that a little toddler can reach the top shelf by standing on the freaking book. It's completely pointless and now every book adaptation movie is doing it just to cash in more money.

I didn't like Mockingjay Part 1 that much. Nothing interesting was developed in that movie and part 1 was nothing but a set up to the next movie, which you should never do, because when you do a marathon of all of the movies, part 1 is the one that you want to skip. That's what Part 1 was 'a set up' and it doesn't stand on it's own as film (In my opinion). But all that a side, I sawed Mockingjay Part 2 a few days ago and it wasn't that great. It was way better than Part 1 when comes to something happening, but that's not saying much, because while I was watching the movie I had the same uneasy feel that Part 1 gave me and not in a good way. It isn't a bad movie, but it wasn't great.

The one major positive that I can give that was all throughout The Hunger Games franchise was Jennifer Lawrence. She has so much to do here and really makes her character shine in this movie. She once again dose a great performance that wasn't over acting or being too dramatic, but it was simple and locked down. She was without a doubt the best part of this movie.

This is a very dark and grim movie with no comic relief from the other characters, and these no messing around here and that element in the movie dose work...sometimes. These many scenes in this movie that was overly sad and so dramatic, to the point that I said to myself "Oh my lord, this movie is so miserable and grim". I know a finale like this isn't going to end quietly and it worked sometimes, but sometimes it overly did it.

This is Philip Seymour Hoffman's last movie and I think the movie did justice for his character in a respectful way due to the actors passing. I know it was hard for the cast to deal with Hoffman's death, since he's character had a major scene in this movie that he never got a chance to film due to his death. I thought the movie did great job of working around it respectfully. R.I.P Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Now for the problems: The first half of this movie and the last is so freaking slow with it's pacing, to the point that it was basically killing the spirit of this movie with the lack of energy. The movie never made me feel like the stakes were high as it felt too easy. There was never a moment that made me feel like I was on the edge of my seat or biting my nails worried for what's going, because as I said before the stakes never felt high to me. That's really disappointing and I had so much high hopes for this movie to be an intense finale with a satisfying ending...well I got some of that, but not the satisfying or intense part.

Was the ending satisfying? well, it was fine ending, but not the best as the movie didn't know how to end. The endings were dragged out.

Overall Mockingjay Part 2 will satisfy some fans of the franchise. I do think it's better Part 1 as I felt like a lot of things were happening. Unfortunately this movie dose have the same problems that Part 1 had with it's pacing and it's lack of energy. I didn't think this movie was great and I know for a fact that five years from now I will completely forget about this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hunger Games partit 2

Est un film qui a le mérite d'être plus diversifié que les autres hunger Games
Mais crée est montrer uniquement dans le but de plaire au jeune, c'est la ma plus grande déception !
Ce film et cette série auraient pu développer des idées intéressantes, mais elles ne sont que survolées. Dans cette dernière partit c'est idée sont complètement passer à la trappe pour finir en histoire d'A....R, a ce demander si c'est vraiment les jeune qui les souhaites....
[spoiler] Cadnice n'est finalement qu'un noeud au milieu d'un sac pour n'éprouver aucune ASPIRATION. [/spoiler] La fin est pittoresque en plus d'être dévalisée de toute possibilité vraie. Pourtant les scénaristes n'on pas eu trop de mal a faire quelque chose...même si cette bouillie à mauvais gout.

On ne peut pas lui reprocher ses effets spéciaux nikel et sa 3D qui sert suffisamment pour la justifier
Des musiques que je n'entends pas.... (vraiment étonnant pour un film haut budget

Cependant l'univers de cette série ne m’a pas plu contrairement au labyrinthe Et espérons que Divergente ou Insurgente (pour les intimes) se débrouille mieux.

Kitabını okumadım, kitaptan uyarlanan filmlerde her detayı gösteremediklerinin farkındayım. Fakat bununda çok havada kaldığına inanıyorum, en azından benim için öyle. İlk filmde, devrim adına yapılanlar, aksiyonlar falan gerçekten tatmin edici ve sıkmadan izletiyordu kendini. Gel gelelim bu film için aynı şeyleri söylemek çok zor. Finnick'in söylediğin 76. Açlık oyunlarına hoş geldiniz söylemi çok doğru. Karşımızda sadece ilk 2 filmde olan Açlık oyunları vardı. Bu olayı zaten ilk 2 filmde izlediğim için, artık daha fazla oyun görmek istemiyordum. Tamam olay "Açlık Oyunları" olabilir de devrimi konu almışsın, ilk filmde gayet güzel konuyu anlatmışsın neden bana böyle bir son veriyorsun. Ben böyle bir mutlu son görmeyi istemiyordum, Alma Coin karakterinin sonunun nasıl olacağı tahmin edilebilirdi. Yani film hakkında söyleyecek bir şeyde bulamıyorum çünkü tamamen söylediğim gibi olay sadece oyunlardan ibaret. Bu sefer belli bir platform altında olmuyor da, sokaklarda falan oluyor işte. Bu kadar bayık bir kaçma, kovalama hikayesi içinde filmin 1 saatini harcamışlar, ona üzüldüm. Benim görmek istediğim son seçimlerin yapılıp, Katniss'in başkanlığa aday olması ve seçilmesiydi. Capitol'ün savaştan sonra ki hallerini ve halkı da görmek isterdim. Bilemiyorum belki de gerçekten, çocuk kitleye hitap etmek adına tekrardan bayat açlık oyunları kısmını devreye sokmak, daha çok para kazandırmıştır yapımcılara. Kötünün iyisi olarak tanımlıyorum filmi işte boş beleş aksiyon yerine, en azından bir şeyler vermişler yine. Expand

This film is the fourth and final adaptation of the literary trilogy by Suzanne Collins, and brings to the cinema the second half of the last book. I didn't read them, I have no particular intention of doing so for any particular reason, so IThis film is the fourth and final adaptation of the literary trilogy by Suzanne Collins, and brings to the cinema the second half of the last book. I didn't read them, I have no particular intention of doing so for any particular reason, so I will ignore the books and focus on the film.

In this film, Katniss decides to go beyond what is asked of her by the Resistance. They wanted a mascot, someone to pose and advertise their cause. She decides to take the initiative, be at the front and take part in the decisive battle for control of the Capital. She wants to kill Snow. On the other hand, she fears Peeta's mental health, after he has been rescued from the hands of the dictator. After all, he still suffers with the marks of torture and deep brainwashing he suffered.

It is difficult to describe what I felt when I finished watching this film. This tetralogy was one of the most tasty and interesting that I have seen in cinema in many years. Loaded with an epic sense, a sweet scent of adventure, good action scenes and touches of social criticism, the story is very good and definitely worth it. All three previous films were able to take advantage of this and give us the best. It is true that the previous film did not seem so good, but I did not expect the disaster that this film came to be! Compared to the others, it seems made by amateurs and confirms that the idea of dividing the final book into two films was terrible. This film simply had little to tell us other than the final assault on the Capital, which should have been the final and culminating half of a third and final film. But pulling money out of the public and making them pay sounds better, and the movie industry has to bill, so let's make two films for the silly viewers to pay a little more and the studio to make a few extra million dollars.

The cast remained at the same level as the previous films. If this film failed, it was not the actors' fault, but the director, Francis Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence has remained excellent, but does not bring anything new. Katniss continues to look hot in war and cold in love. Donald Sutherland was excellent, although he went a little too far in his madness and seems to be really crazy in some scenes. Julianne Moore, who gave life to President Coin, turns out to be a pleasant surprise in that she is not quite what she appears, but this turnaround was to be expected by the way the film prepared it. Josh Hutcherson continues to do a decent job, but not pleasant to me. All the other actors, who had more or less opportunities to give an air of value and talent in the previous films, practically disappear.

The film is loaded with scenes of a lot of action, explosions and shots. If everything seems real, thanks to excellent sound effects and first-rate CGI, the same cannot be said of all the costumes. Peacekeepers, for example, look like Star Wars imperial soldiers. A careful cinematography with good contrast, excellent sets and very realistic fights, along with an excellent soundtrack, complete the production values.

A lot of action, explosions and shots, good actors doing the best they know, but without material to work on a film that has very little story to tell... this is how we can sum up this film, which was certainly a disappointment for many who they had enjoyed the previous films.

Failed to convey the central message of the book

In order to properly convey my feelings let me first talk about the
book and how the movie completely failed it here.

The central message of the book is this: 'War is awful, no matter what
you're fighting for, which side you're on or how rightful your claim
is'

Throughout the whole book we're led to believe that we're gradually
moving closer to the real goal: killing Snow. Sure, bad things happen
but ends justify the means, don't they? It gets worse and worse. Peeta
is broken. Finnick Dies. And then it happens, an event that makes it
all meaningless: Primrose is dead. After that we're led through
paranoia, depression and pointlessness of it all as we're moving
through the fallout with Katniss. When Katniss kills Coin it is a
highly emotional event: is she really behind it all? We're in a state
of confusion and uncertainty and the whole event shocks us, makes
Katniss even more emotionally vulnerable and about to kill herself.
Even when she chooses Peeta at the end of the book it doesn't really
matter - he's there for her, but in the end all of it wasn't really
worth it for Katniss. She learns to cope, she learns to live sort of a
half-life, she even manages to have children of her own. But even after
all these years she's utterly broken by her loss.

None of it is captured in the movie.

The whole buildup is excellent, the movie closely follows the books,
there is tension, there is artistic sophistication and the moment the
first bomb is dropped on the Capitol children it really grips you by
the heart and you feel pain, feel how senseless those deaths were.

And then the second bomb comes and that's where it goes all wrong. It
happens fast, there is no buildup, no gradual realization on the
Katniss's side that her sister is about to die and there is nothing she
can do about it. After that we're led to the hospital scene and it's
all sort of muted - Katniss is sitting there stone-faced, she talks
sort of around the topic with Haymitch and her mother, like it's
something awkward - there is none of Katniss's hysteria, nail fighting
or paranoia. If she were to write the note about it in her journal i'd
imagine it'd go something like this: ' Dear Diary,

My sister died yesterday. I'm still sad about it, but there's nothing I
can do. I visited Snow and he raised my suspicions about Coin. Coin
asked us about another Hunger Games and I agreed. After that I killed
Coin. It was pretty bad, but then we went home. Things were sort of OK
then, but I cried a little. I hope I can learn to live again. '

Which is NOTHING compared to the what was captured in the book. Even
the epilogue with her children has too much of an optimistic side to
it, like things are good again, which wasn't the point of it at all - it doesn't convey that she was still utterly broken by this point, even after all these years. In conclusion this movie utterly failed to convey the central message and the crucial parts of the work. It simply doesn't have the impact that the book conveyed so beautifully - it all happens, but without any emotions involved and we're left with about the same feeling as watching the paint dry. It's a subtle thing to make it properly, but it was definitely achievable - a little longer shot here, a bit more of a emotion there, a bit of a silence here and make it all more personal by moving it all closer to us. Because those scenes were so crucial to the movie, it's high point, it's definitive moment I'm left with no choice but give it 7/10 for the buildup and 2/10 for the ending, leaving us with 4/10 overall. Had those scenes been shot properly this movie could've easily been an 8-9/10, but as such we're left bitter and disappointed. Now if you excuse me I'm off to read the latter part of 'Mockingjay' to wash the bad aftertaste and forget what a disappointment it was on the screen.

Wow, where to begin with this piece of **** The suits at Lionsgate must have been laughing their asses of seeing people pay for this travesty...

This movie is so lazy it doesn't even take itself serious. The script is a loop of the following sequence: 1. Look with no expression at stuff 2. Talk to each other so quietly that it's almost impossible to hear. Also talk about something that doesn't matter. 3. walk, move run. 4. Someone dies because they are doing dumb ass things. 5. Take cover somewhere and repeat the loop from 1. It's like they had an unpaid intern write this ****!

The characters have NO chemistry, not just a little, just NONE! Characters are introduced only to be killed one by one, and all seem to be handpicked from either Mute School or 'Throw yourself at the Danger' school. Absolutely stupid.

The hidden plot is actually good, which is that the ones leading the rebellion are already dividing the power after Snow is dead. Which is the everlasting loop of people with power. If only the movie was about that instead of Katniss 'I look like i'm lost' Everpoo.

The score: **** is this made by like three guys with one microphone in an alley?
Decors: So fake looking i could have shot it better in my garden.
Outfits and make-up: Let's have soldiers walk around in a warzone without helmets... that says it all really.

The story itself: If it wasn't shot like a gathering of mental patients it could have worked. But it didn't. This is a problem throughout these movies anyway.

Any positives: Well... Jennifer Lawrence is looking better and better each year now. Because of the slow plot it doesn't dissolve into chaos. The sewer creatures looked pretty darn cool, and as said before the story of power in the background is actually interesting. It makes these dull characters look like pawns in a bigger game of chess.

But this is a terrible movie all together. It's 2 hours of my life i will never get back. I give this movie a 3/10.

No final de contas, nenhum personagem se salva. Suas atitudes são incompreensíveis em suma maioria, e há uma sensação de que o roteiro força acontecimentos para que a historia vá em frente, quando na realidade eles deveriam ser provocados pelas consequências das atitudes dos personagens. O tanto de conveniência e furos aqui é colossal. As cenas de ação parecem mais sem alma do que nunca, como se uma musica de fundo bastasse para que nosso coração acelerasse como o dos personagens.

Enfim, nada mais do que uma decepção.

This was the most commercialized and soulless piece of junk I have seen in a long time. Everyone just goes through the motions to cash their paycheck. Lawrence should be disqualified from all future acting awards after this joke of a performance. The special effects are cheesy and fake-looking. Every scene is poorly lit and staged. There is simply no there there. And at two hours and seventeen minutes it is tediously over-stuffed. Surprising, considering it seemed like absolutely nothing happened at all. By the time the tenth or so ending/epilogue was playing out I wanted to get out of the theater so badly it hurt.

An extremely bloated runtime filled with 3-year-old dialogue and extremely predictable outcomes. The worst of the series, which is saying a lot since the entire series was enormously bad.

What a terrible, terrible movie. Why did they have to split the last book into 2 films? The 3rd book was great. Why did they have to mess with it? I'm seriously considering throwing-out both DVDs of The Mockingjay. I never want to see themWhat a terrible, terrible movie. Why did they have to split the last book into 2 films? The 3rd book was great. Why did they have to mess with it? I'm seriously considering throwing-out both DVDs of The Mockingjay. I never want to see them again. I think I'll just read the 3rd book again and hope to forget I ever saw those last two awful movies. Expand

I have never, ever fallen asleep in a movie theater until I saw this movie. I remember that the characters were extremely serious, and that it seemed to be moving towards a huger games scenario, and I remember being really bored. The next thing I remember is friends shaking me awake for the credits. Apparently, I snored through most of it. I'm giving the movie 2 stars, because the first half hour could be a cure for my insomnia. Expand

The book is so much better. Jennifer Lawrence is like the plank from "Ed Edd and Eddy", just dull and... "there". Watched this on a flight to Japan. Thank God it was free!

Everything about it is a cliche, it was torture to sit through. Jennifer Lawrence has 3 expressions and mugs for the camera continuously, there are 4 camera shots, there is very little action... it is mostly people standing around talking, and talking, and talking. I haven't even mentioned the dialogue which anyone reading this review could write. Even before they finished their lines I was finishing it for them. Do not waste your money. As good as Jennifer Lawrence was in Winter's Bone, she is that bad in this movie. She is not the next Meryl Streep, she is the next Nicole Kidman. I can not figure out how the professional reviews gave it such high marks, I feel they must getting some kind of benefit on the side. If you haven't seen many movies in your life this might be OK if you are in your teens, but I would recommend you pick out another movie you can go to in the cineplex because in the first 10 minutes you will know what I'm talking about, it doesn't get better, it just continues to repeat the same scenes, over and over again in a different place with the same anguish.

As every minute of the film goes on, the film gets even sillier. I tried my hardest not to laugh at it's stupidity, but I couldn't even get through 15 minutes without laughing. The film was the worst way to end this trilogy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is very likely the worst movie I've ever sat through. It is a example of the dangers of padding.

Disclaimer: I liked the first and second movies.

Hunger Games, with a good script writer and a disciplined director, could have been done in one movie. With that, I think this could have done well as a trilogy as well. There was no reason for Mockingjay to be split into two movies.

I'll quickly explain why this movie was so bad:
* It skipped the climax -- The scene of the confrontation at Snow's residence was glossed over because Katniss was knocked out (about the 4th time in this movie alone)
* Nothing happened -- They used exposition to explain the plot in between short boring action sequences.
* It was stupid -- Many of the plot elements were used to shamelessly jerk the audience around. The performances were so rigid and simple (even Lawrence's high note performance of the show) presumably to placate the lack of intellect of fans of the movies and Suzanne Collin's books.

How the hell did someone mention the cinematography in this movie as being excellent? It was hard to watch it was so comically bad.

Overall, I found myself laughing at many of the 'serious' scenes (like dropping bombs attached to little parachutes at the final battle sequence, really?).

Jennifer Lawrence, someone bought you an Oscar and you completed your "quadrilogy". PLEASE just fade away like so many no talent flashes in the pan before you.
