Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) by Bradysmith — 20 Nov 2015
Let's get the bad out of the way first. The pacing is pretty ragged with lots of starts and stops, and it could have built to a bigger climactic action scene... But this is still a very good movie, ranking as one of the best franchise enders ever.
The action is the most intense and well realized of any Hunger Games movie, the story is smart and takes risks most mainstream movies wouldn't dare to do, at points making even Nolan look like he cops out when things are getting too dark, and it concludes on a satisfyingly poignant note.
Sure, it does suffer from Return of the King's 10 endings syndrome, but if that's the worst you can say about a movie with this much to offer then you're just nitpicking. Mockingjay Part 2 secures The Hunger Games as the YA franchise king, and I doubt it will be surpassed by any other YA series soon, if ever.
