As the war of Panem escalates to the destruction of other districts by the Capitol, Katniss Everdeen, the reluctant leader of the rebellion, must bring together an army against President Snow, while all she holds dear hangs in the balance (www.imdb.com).
Director: Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1)
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, Willow Shields, Sam Claflin
Mockingjay - Part 2, has the ability to stand alone, whereas Part 1 needed its arrival, turning a slow burner into a full-on fire. It's a heck of a journey, the tense action worth the wait. The downside is you'll see every twist and turn before it happens. Jennifer Lawrence truly stands alone. Her acting feels genuinely from the heart. Hutcherson and Hemsworth, in their awkward love triangle, can barely touch her (metaphorically speaking). One last rallying cry from Katniss is the last straw. Her voice cannot pull off those great speeches, and quite frankly there was enough of them in Part 1. Yes we know you're the Mockingjay, get over it. All four of The Hunger Games films stay true to the book. Everyone plays their part well (although some are short changed). They're faithful to both Veronica Roth's story and Francis Lawrence's visuals.
4/5
