The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Movie Review

Aloha, 
Now, I went to the cinema twice this week and both times I have been The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. Don't get it twisted and instantly assume that I am a Hunger Games fanatic (I enjoy the franchise but not to an excessive degree), I just have two sets of friends who both wanted to see it with me and I couldn't say yes to one and not to other.

Now that I have cleared that up, let's get down to the review. I have to put a disclaimer in this because I really did not like the last book in The Hunger Game series- I thought it was overly rushed with very little description in order to create enough imagery in the reader's mind. I am very big on taking it slow and really describing events in depth and I really did not have a clue what was happening in the books so I didn't really have that much of a high expectation.
I was completely disappointed with the Mockingjay Part 1 film, which I thought was boring, slow and lacked any real storyline to make it a stand alone film. All I saw when I went and saw that film was a money making tactic by splitting the last book in 2. So, when I did sit down in the fairly empty cinema, I didn't really know what I was going to expect.

What I did find was a film that was okay. It wasn't anything spectacular but it wasn't a bad film. I think they made the action scenes really well- there was a good amount of suspense whilst the film was still very predictable. It was pretty jumpy in some places and credit to whoever made those mutts because they were quite simply terrifying.
Overall, it was definitely better than the Part 1 film and I did enjoy both times I saw the film so it wasn't a waste of money. The biggest part that got to me was the storyline with Finnick. At the beginning of the series, I didn't enjoy his character but I have come to love him. I will not spoil it if people haven't seen it but that definitely was a good part of the film for me.

Also, in this film, I really grew to like Cressida. She always had a star in the films but I didn't really take notice of her but I enjoyed her very much! Also, she rocks her hairdo and looks flipping amazing doing it, which I think not many people could pull off so kudos to her.

I think if you have seen all of the other 3 films, you have to go and see it but if you haven't bothered; I wouldn't run to the cinema to see it. If this is anything to go by, I was less disappointed by this film than I was for Breaking Dawn Part 2. So The Hunger Games, you win on this one!
If you have seen the film, let me know what your thoughts are about it down below!
As a final word, it does make me want to watch the first film again - which I think is my favourite simply because I enjoyed the concept of The Hunger Games. I think as the series went on, they overplayed the concept perhaps too far... But that is my opinion,
