Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

invisibleunicornninja For my review of these two movies, I'm going to be treating them as one movie and copy/pasting this review onto both movies. The only reason why this movie was split into two is because the studio wanted to make money. There is no other logical reason for this nonsense. Plot - This movie isn't very interesting or compelling. The first half is all filler while the second half is a series of semi-violent sequences of poorly choreographed action in between more boring filler. For the most part these movie are very predictable. Anything that is unpredictable is only made so due to the level of stupidity involved. I'm not sure if I can stress enough how much of this movie is boring filler. Characters - None of the actors really care anymore. The guy who plays Haymitch is still enjoyable, but he's a minor character. The characters are all as boring and idiotic and simplistic as they always were.Cinematography - The whole look of this movie is just as bad as the previous movies, but at some points its even worse. There isn't really anything to say about this movie. Its just a load of boring, predictable nonsense.

Leofwine_draca And so the interminable HUNGER GAMES franchise comes to a crashing end with this dull and thunky final instalment. After the intensely boring setting up of the PART 1, MOCKINGJAY - PART 2 finally sees all of the story lines cleared up in a way which is non-exciting throughout. Once again this is a flabby, overlong production which relies on lots of CGI effects to see it through while offering writing which is constantly weak and clichéd. The cast sleepwalk through their roles, there are twists you'll see coming a mile off, and the whole thing has a generally listless air, like everyone was ready to go on and do something - anything - else. I was also surprised at how little action there was here given the budget and running time; most of it consists of characters outrunning encroaching CGI effects, much as in the disaster flick 2012, and just as uninteresting as those scenes were there.

ellesangelo I was glad it saves the part 1 from disgrace. Lol!Part 1 is very boring and not worth the money we spend to movie house. I was impressed but it is emotionally inconsistent just like a korean films - don't get me wrong I love Korean Films. Anyway, really saves the best for last. Thanks!

andyk888 I am not going to pull apart this film bit for bit because frankly there are just way too many flaws in this film. A circus of flaws, really. But as a viewer who never read the books and who became hooked on the first film during a chance viewing, I will say, shame on whoever allowed this film to be made. And shame on me for watching it.Let me just say for those who haven't seen it - nothing actually happens in this film. The previous 3 films (well mainly 1 & 2) lay a solid framework and create a brutal, yet very believable reality. By the end of the 2nd film you cannot help but stand in the corner of Everdeen and co and watch on as they work to bring down the crushing authority responsible for the 'games'. But unfortunately the director does not want us to experience this triumph. Film 3 is a bunch of filler, whilst film 4 (Mockingjay Part 2) is simply a lullaby.There is no redemption for the majority of the characters. Character arcs get completely left out. Wars happen that you never actually see happen. Fear is ongoing (apparently) but all you ever see is Donald Sutherland on a Television screen spouting his mantra. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire build up tremendous momentum.. but the Mockingjay films are there to sap it all up. But be careful, because this film will sap you up too.
