Tedious, overlong and downright irritatinglachyas
Atrocious pacing. They had an entire film to set this one up (and let's face it, that's all part one was) but they still completely waste the first 45 minutes here, with the result that I was almost asleep by the time things finally started going boom. The true cost of this is that the final act of the film, when things start to get somewhat interesting due to the political themes and emotional stakes, actually feels rushed, which is just inexcusable given the decision to split the content-light novel into two parts. But hey, at least Lawrence gets to fill her quota of one hysterical crying scene per film.rabsi1
Managed to retain the clever political subplots that were my favourite part of the entire series, but still not as good as 1 or 2. Also proves the last film was entirely redundant and a cash grab.2 > 1 > 4 > 3 for me.

Lame.Real or not real.

Gotta miss Hoffman. Wish he was there to deliver his farewell to Katniss. It would've been such a nice scene to leave on. Woody's alright and I'm glad that they included the scene, but imagine Hoffman himself, man.RobZombie
Two and a half hours of empty dialogue, staring and A-listers in bad wigsGod
the hunger games movies have been so underwhelming tbhZolex
I can't find the words I'm looking for, so I'm just gonna put it like this: If you're dying to know how it ends, ask someone to spoil it for you so you can imagine how it is, cause this is far worse than your imagination after watching Part 1.Toastinator
The first half of this movie was just awful.frankqb
Mockingjay Part 2's biggest lesson is one of how much of a disservice splitting up this book into two films did for the story. Part 2 is slow to get going if you haven't brushed up on Part 1 and there's a moment about halfway through the film when it becomes obvious why it should have been one film.That said, the acting is adequate, the sets impressive, and the story carries the film. Nonetheless there are moments where the viewer feels emotionally cheated and you wish the scene would linger just a moment longer on some of the more important moments. Hindered by a PG-13 rating, it can never truly grasp the horrors of war.
Overall, good, not great and it makes part 1 look useless.
2.5 stars out of 4

Much better than Part 1. Still not very good.tsamlidis
A definite improvement on the last instalment, but not much more than a decent film either.PrinceJax
It's not hard to see the glaring failure of this film: it made the entire series before it irrelevant. In two and a half hours all you get is messy storytelling, useless dialogue and an anti climactic end to what had been set up.as a politically and emotionally charged, poignant story. Utter and dismal failure...Siskoid
Mockingjay Part 1 was, and remains, my favorite of the Hunger Games films, in large part because it didn't rely on the lazy plotting of the Games themselves. You know what I mean, the string of traps/monsters/incidents that go "this happens, then this happens, then this". Well, that mode of storytelling is back in Part 2 AKA Hunger Games 4, in the form of "pods" that unleash Games-type dangers on rebel fighters fighting in the Capitol city. At least this time, I feel invested in most of the characters that meet their grim ends, but that's still how a good chunk of the movie is constructed. The bit that comes after is a strange series of anti-climaxes and Lord of the Rings-level epilogues that eventually make the series grind to a halt rather than go out with a bang, but I still like this better than the first two films seeing as it does flow from the previous film, with at least some of what made it so interesting for me, i.e. the way media can be used to shape opinion and distort reality.Torgo
As much as I'm underwhelmed by the series as a whole and put off by how they stretched the finale into a looong 4 1/2 hours double chapter, I have to admit that Mocking 2 is unexpectedly grim for a YA blockbuster. Not a single comic relief and almost no hope during the movie; that's rare for a production that makes 700 million worldwide.Showing items 1 – 15 of 19
