"Constantine" director Francis Lawrence's "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" qualifiesan adequate but belated installment in Suzanne Collins' bestselling, post-apocalyptic, young adult adventure series set in a dystopian society where a dame armed with a bow and arrow topples a totalitarian regime. Lionsgate Studios could have concluded their chartbuster franchise dexterously with the third movie, combining both parts of "Mockingjay" into a single escapade. Mind you, scenarists Peter Craig and Danny Strong would have had to perform some judicious editing, whittling down the placeholder first half, and then tightening up the second half. Basically, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" is neitheraudacious"The Hunger Games" nor its spectacular sequel "Catching Fire." Aside from Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson, everybody else participates in largely scaled back roles. Sam Claflin and Julianne Moore remain on screen slightly longer and make a greater lasting impression. Donald Sutherland, smirking through his fluffy white beard, returnsKatniss' nefarious nemesis President Snow. The late Phillip Seymour Hoffman gets a few scenes. Woody Harrelson lurks at our heroine's elbowdoes Elizabeth Banks, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, and Willow Shields. Stanley Tucci shows up only once in a television broadcast segment for Snow. Suffice to say, four of the franchise characters fail to survive. At fadeout, one major character simply turns on heel, withdraws from a room, never to be heard from again, in a bland exit. <br/><br/>Lawrence doesn't have much to work with, and this straightforward saga isn'tcreativethe first two blockbusters. "Mockingjay 2" contains a few exciting scenes, but the demise of its primary villain–whose demise we have savored for so long–takes place out-of-sight. Meantime, Katniss Everdeen stands front and center, and inevitably Mockingjay 2" rehabilitates Peeta Mellarkher battling beau. Sadly, Peeta's return generates little pizazz. The action follows our heroine and her companionsthey plunge into the Capitol on a behind-the-lines mission. They must wend their way through an explosive obstacle course of booby-traps until Katniss can execute Snow. Unhappily,muchshe yearns to slaughter Snow, Lawrence and his scribes deprive Katniss of that golden opportunity. Committed Katniss fans familiar with Collins' novels will appreciate this adaptation more than those who haven't perused the novel. Essentially, two scenes overshadow the film. The first involves a rabid horde of cadaverous mutants in the sewer that attack them and then Katniss' ultimate showdown with Resistance Army President Alma Coin.<br/><br/>"The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2" opens where the third feature abruptly ended. Meaning, if this is your first encounter with the franchise, you're going to be puzzled by most of what ensues. Katniss has recovered from Peeta's futile effort to strangle her, while he remains in restraints. Initially, she has trouble uttering her own name. Eventually, she embarks on a mission into the District 2 war zone alongside long-time friend Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth of "The Expendables 2") where an enemy shoots Katniss in the back. Predictably, Snow celebrates her death before he learns that she survived. Disgruntled about getting sidelined after her near-death experience, our pugnacious protagonist sneaks back into combat with a little help from smarmy Johanna Mason (Jena Malone of "Cold Mountain"), but she finds herself relegated to a propaganda missionrebel forces enter the capital. Once again, Coin relies on Katniss for her propaganda valuethe Mockingjay, while Katniss itches for the chance to kill Snow. Our heroes wield a gadget that enables them to detect the presence of booby traps. Snow has turned the Capitol into an obstacle course of deadly booby traps. Our courageous heroine and her unit face numerous close scrapes, and their brash adversaries make the same mistake again and again of thinking that they have eliminated Katniss while she emerges unscathed. Ultimately, Katniss' two confrontations with Snow in the final quarter ignite few sparks. You don't have to have read the book to figure out where the action is heading in this final quarter.<br/><br/>Director Francis Lawrence stages most of the story in claustrophobic tunnels and labyrinthine cityscapes. He lensed "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" not only in Atlanta, Georgia, but also abroad in Paris and Berlin. The liveliest scene unfolds in the sewer when the Mutts assault our heroes, and Katniss barely escapes from their jaws. Of course, not everybody survives this white-knuckled episode. Simultaneously, Katniss and company trigger booby traps among skyscraper buildings that unleash tons of tar. Unfortunately, these tense action scenes cannot compare with the more imaginative ones in "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" with their scenic settings. Part of the problem is the shortage of suspense. Although Katniss gets wounded early into the action, you know she cannot die. Any time that the audience knows more than the villains, a movie will suffer. Predictably, certain characters near her must bite the dust to maintain some modicum of tension. The persistent romantic triangle arises again. Peeta struggles to convince Katniss that he is no longer trustworthy. Meantime, Gale Hawthorne accompanies her, but it is clear he is not going to end up at her side when all is said and done. During an early scene, he complains that kissing Katniss is like kissing a drunk. Lawrence develops some suspense during the scene near the end when Katniss and Gale sneak into the Capitol masqueradingrefugees bound for sanctuary at Snow's headquarters. There are some anxious moments when Snow's sentries look poised to pounce on our heroes.<br/><br/>Although "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" boasts impressive production values and a charismatic cast, Lionsgate Studio has allowed this once exhilarating franchise to linger beyond its expiration date. As sumptuously produced and splendidly castthis installment is, the action seldom seemsfresh and spontaneousit once was. Hollywood has always sought to milk their cash cows, but prolonging the inevitable when it has been dragged out far too long in the first place constitutes tedium.
It's depressing to me that most of the reviews for this movie show a general ignorance about what the books they're based on are really about, especially considering that they were written for a young adult audience (and so aren't particularly complicated in plot). The films were blockbuster films, which means that they edited the base story to appeal to a wider audience, so I would not expect them to be fine pieces of art, rather geared toward the goal of entertainment. <br/><br/>I think the film makers were trying to balance the need for blockbuster elements (like action and suspense) with the themes of the novels, and the popularity of both mediums and huge budget created a lot of varying expectations. Which is probably why you see that those on both sides were at least a little disappointed. Personally, the third movie (Mockingjay Part 1) was my favorite, because even though it departed from the novels more (literally), it was a more enjoyable film, because it seemed to best match the spirit of the book. I gave this a 9 because it was true to the books in story and theme, but I credit its bad performance for others on trying to make it too similar to other films (like other war / epic films, or even superhero movies). <br/><br/>Unlike what some reviewers seemed to have incorrectly inferred, this franchise is not making any particular political statement (or taking a political side). The story itself has no direct link to any current events (except that it is about war, and there are wars in the world). It does not draw any parallels whatsoever between the "rebels" in the movie and any rebel groups in the real world. It is a dystopian story, and it is not based on a real place; Panem is a fictional place (although it has been specified that Panem is North America in the distant future). Being a pacifist, I like to think of thisan anti-war movie, but that would also be incorrect, since some of its main themes are that people ought not be sacrificed in vain, that social progress can be made through war (although always with personal costs), and the importance that the initial cause for war is addressed through it.<br/><br/>The main theme of The Hunger Games trilogy is the human tendency to have wars and the importance of preventing them in the first place. There is also a strong focus on how heroes are made (Katniss in this case), through chance and circumstance, and are not necessarily born. The importance of this work in a cultural context, is the portrayal of a female charactera genuine hero, a complex and intelligent character with her own motivations, who becomes thrown into her positiona victim. Rarely today do we actually see women portrayed this way in mainstream media, and although from the book we know that her father had an effect on her, and many male and female characters take part in affecting her, her main motivations and personality seem to be mostly independent of male influences.<br/><br/>Another primary theme, especially highlighted by the films is that of the relationship of media with the culture. This was probably the most well delivered and clear cut theme,it blends seamlessly into the story. Plutarch (Greek) is the character most closely associated with this theme,he seems to have orchestrated the events, in a way,"gamemaker". Collins has stated that Ancient Greece and Rome were inspirations for The Hunger Games, and plutarchy itself is definedwhen the ruling classes are controlled by wealth. And in this case, the wealthy ruling class (as wellthe rebels), use mediaa way to control the general public. The idea of media being used to not just immobilize and control the masses, but also to affect the public narrative (and define what is true and therefore have power), is an important theme.<br/><br/>Although the acting wasn't the highlight of these films, it has to be said that Jennifer Lawrence had a huge influence on this franchise. From the first movie, for which she rightly became so famous for, she defined and changed the Katniss character forever. She was not an obvious choice for this part, but how she interpreted it ultimately drove the franchise to great success. This was always a good story, with irony running deep, but Lawrence gave life and depth to Katniss. Sure, there are a lot of complaints to be made about important plot points that don't transfer well to screen, but with Lawrence they did get it right in the transition from one medium to another, with necessary sacrifices (no pun intended).
If anything, this is too faithful to the book, sometimes getting bogged down in detailKatniss struggles to her goal. But its epic sweep, grand designs and unyielding central performance make this a compelling finale.
Witnessing what tyrannical Capitol President Snow (<a href="/name/nm0000661/">Donald Sutherland</a>) has done to her partner Peeta Mellark (<a href="/name/nm1242688/">Josh Hutcherson</a>), two-time Hunger Games champion Katniss Everdeen (<a href="/name/nm2225369/">Jennifer Lawrence</a>) agrees to servethe Mockingjay, the symbol of the Panem districts' rebellion against the Capitol. As District 13 President Alma Coin (<a href="/name/nm0000194/">Julianne Moore</a>) makes plans for uniting the districts in the upcoming war, Katniss acts on her own personal agenda—that of assassinating President Snow (<a href="/name/nm0000661/">Donald Sutherland</a>). The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 is based on the second half of Mockingjay, a 2010 novel by American writer Suzanne Collins. It is the fourth and last movie in The Hunger Games series, preceded by <a href="/title/tt1392170/">The Hunger Games (2012)</a> (2012),(2013), and <a href="/title/tt1951265/">The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)</a> (2014). The novel was adapted for the film by American screenwriters Peter Craig and Danny Strong. Katniss is reunited with Peeta but, when she tries to hug him, he suddenly attacks and tries to strangle her,. Katniss is saved only by Boggs' (<a href="/name/nm0991810/">Mahershala Ali</a>) intervention. Later, it's explained to her that Peeta was "hijacked"—a form of fear conditioning enhanced with "Tracker Jacker venom". Meanwhile, Alma Coin announces that her covert operation into the Capitol has resulted in the victors being liberated and requests that all the districts of Panem unite against their mutual oppressor. In the final scene, Katniss looks into the medical chamber where a manically-distressed Peeta is being held in restraints. Realizing that it was Coin who ordered the bombing that caused her sister Prim's (<a href="/name/nm3094377/">Willow Shields</a>) death, Katniss redirects the aim of her arrow from Snow to Coin, hitting her squarely in the heart. Snow roars in laughter. Katniss attempts to commit suicide but,she reaches into her pocket for the Nightlock pill, Peeta knocks it out of her hand. As Katniss is taken into custody and dragged away, the angry crowd surges forward and continues Snow's execution for her. Standing on the sidelines, Plutarch (<a href="/name/nm0000450/">Philip Seymour Hoffman</a>) watches and smiles. While Katniss sits alone in a room guarded by two guards, Haymitch (<a href="/name/nm0000437/">Woody Harrelson</a>) enters and reads to her a letter from Plutarch to, expressing his approval of all she did and assuring her that the leaders of the Districts are already planning to vote in a new President, who will most probably be Commander Paylor (<a href="/name/nm2694974/">Patina Miller</a>), who will eventually pardon her. Katniss takes the train back to her home in District 12's Victors Village to lay low until the dissension quiets. The winter passes slowlyKatniss mourns the loss of Prim. One day in the spring, she returns from hunting to find Peeta planting primroses in her garden. When the summer rains come, Peeta is still there. One night,they lay in bed cuddling, Peeta asks, You love me. Real or not real? Katniss replies, "Real." In the final scenes, several years later, Katniss and Peeta are still together, Peeta playing with their son while Katniss holds her newborn, who awakens and begins to fuss. Katniss tells the baby that she has nightmares, too, but that she deals with them by playing a game in which she remembers all the good things that people did. It gets tedious, she admits, "but there are worse games to play."
