At last the second part to the conclusion of the Hunger
Games film series. My biggest complaint
with Lionsgate deciding to divide up this book is that they didn’t do enough to
make the films stand on their own. They
could have diverted from the book a little bit with the first one and really
got into Katniss proving she deserves to fight for the cause instead of just
being their symbol. Now that I’ve seen
this second part, while I liked all that they did, I can’t help but feel a
three hour version would have been way more satisfying. If you’re read the book, I’m happy to see
they followed the story as Suzanne Collins wrote it. The action is solid and the characters’ arcs
transition to film wonderfully. If you
didn’t like the book you’ll probably not care for the film. I loved the book and liked the film. I wish the ending had a stronger build and I
think the epilogue was a tad long. Still
it’s a decent ending to a pretty terrific series. Grade: B+
