It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

It's not a bad film at all it just doesn't match up to the awesomeness of the first two. The whole District 13 thing, after awhile, got boring and dry, but it wasn't all the movie. They tried to make a Hunger Games doppelganger to please fans and I will say that it did well. A couple of character deaths made it sad but good. Snow was finally finished buy then Coin decided to step in and do exactly what they shouldn't have, so she dies. It kind of ends in a little mess, Katniss screws everything up and other people clean it up for her. But it's not bad despite what I previously said.

It's hard to think of a multi-part movie saga with quality that plummeted quite as far as the 'Hunger Games' movies. This is largely due to the source material: the books (I've read them) are just not that good. The most interesting thing in them was the premise--the competition among the impoverished sectors--and the farther the books got away from that, the less interesting they became, as the author was better with plot than with character and not at all skilled in writing dialogue with wit or philosophical depth. The first "Hunger Games" was very good: it emphasized the game; it highlighted differences among the participants; it retained the book's smart ending. Sparkling performances in both small and large supporting roles backed Jennifer Lawrence's luminescent performance in the lead. The 'Catching Fire' sequel was also pretty good, with extra kudos for the special effects. But by the time we get to "Mockingjay"--which must have been split into two movies only to maximize profits--there's not much going on. Particularly in "Mockingjay Part 2," it was sad to watch such an outstanding cast of actors try to make something of a script that gives none of them anything interesting to do or say while they plod on to a predictable ending. All Lawrence can do is look angst-ridden. The few plot developments present are forced and unconvincing. I'll give it a "3" only for the continuing high quality of special effects and artwork. The only reason to watch it is if you feel obligated to complete the saga.

I watched the first two installments of HG during a long flight. They were OK as light entertainment even for somebody like me, outside the target audience. Obviously I did not read the novel (nor have I any interest in reading it) but I just wanted to see how the story ends.Both Mockingjay parts were on TV lately. Predictably, they provided the awful ending of yet another trilogy, (stretched into four movies, for monetary reasons). This movie was particularly bad for the awful script that skipped all the dramatic key moments in favor of padding with fight, explosions and CGI.Katniss is in a resistance team known as the Star Squad, composed of Gale, Peeta and other disposable members. She secretly plans to kill evil president Snow, thus dragging her team into the most dangerous zone of the Capitol and getting almost everybody killed.Three quarters of this very long movie are just Kat and team fighting and slowly advancing in the city. Some team members die, more fighting and more casualties etc... Finally, Kat gets close enough to Snow's palace and her plan is just walking in with other refugees, wearing no disguise whatsoever - brilliant!However, the palace gets bombed and Kat knocked out, just after having caught a glimpse of her sister. When Kat wakes up the was is over and the sister is dead. So the two most important events of the movie take place off screen, while the time on screen is filled by silly fighting....After a minute of conversation with Snow, held captive before his execution, Kat is convinced that president Coin is corrupted and must be eliminated, which she does. She moves back to her District with Peeta, they have children and live happily ever after - because Gale knew that the bombing was planned by Coin, so he was also evil, or something to that effect. Even the "triangle" part of the plot was disposed off with a line of dialogue and 20 second on screen...

They should take some military consultant for the war scene. Realsm of war scene need a good consultant. In the war scene there's only full of infantry. There's no artillery, cavalry, etc. The mixing of a lot of infantry and multi-role combat plane are bad decision. The war look like a fake war.
