J-Bang Reviews Presents: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

To be honest, I saw this movie on opening day and I would have posted the review earlier, but I got side tracked by the wondrous world of college. Anyway, a week later and here we are, I finally bring to you the J-Bang Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2.

After the lackluster "Mockingjay Part 1", The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 finally finishes the story of Katniss Everdeen and her endeavor to take down President Snow and the Capitol. Even though it is the 2nd half of a whole movie, Part 2 feels like a whole movie on its own. You will pretty much get a feel of the whole movie after 10 minutes. Also, the pacing of the film has approved since Mockingjay Part 1. Everything feels faster and well spaced out. Part 2 packs plenty of unique character moments while also supplying some intense action set pieces using the best visual effects of the series.

Although this movie has improved from its predecessors, Part 2 does include some minor flaws. Due to editing, some of switches from scene to scene end up feeling random and confusing. For example, our heroes would be fighting monsters in one scene, then all of a sudden, our characters are somewhere else, safe and sound. And the love triangle between Katniss, Gale and Peeta comes off as more laughable than it does conflicting, and I'm not sure if that is based off design or not. 

Anyways, other than some weird, little issues, The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 is an enjoyable grand finale for the franchise that packs an emotional punch as well as a few unexpected twists and turns. It ties up loose ends and delivers a fulfilling conclusion to the series. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 gets a 4 out of 5! Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna continue waiting for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS to be released...
