The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

Rating 5 out of 10

The Hunger Games trilogy stretched into a fourlogy comes to an end with this finale.  I started reading the books.  Thought the first one was pretty good.  Got half way thru the second one and became bored then gave up.  I have to say I kinda feel that way about the movies too.  The part 1 of Mockingjay was slow with very little action.  In part 2 we get lots of action yet it still manages to be boring.

For those following the perils of Katniss Everdeen the good guys have finally come knocking on the Capital doors with thoughts of killing the evil President Snow and ending his reign.  Peeta is still crazy yet they insist on bringing him along on every adventure.

I quit playing video games years ago when it seemed every war movie had you going from area to area killing all the bad guys but never really knowing where you are going.  This movie gave me the same feel.  Once they get in the gates they go from area to area coming across some sort of bad guy occasionally losing a good guy then moving on.  Snow has cameras that let him know where they are yet he only sends a few soldiers each time.  It has a twist at the end that turns out to be so obvious you see it coming a mile away.

I thought the whole thing was a mess. Lots of random scenes glued together that didn't make much sense.  I guess those that loved the books will love this movie.  It will make million$.  I was not entertained and wish I had gone to something else.
