Mockingjay: Part Two is the last movie of the Hunger Games series. The movie is full of adventure and emotion as we continue to follow Katniss’ journey to overthrow the Capitol, encountering capitol-bred creatures and capitol-bred problems.

Along with the suspense and thrill inherent throughout the series’ plot, the movie continues to touch audiences with emotional scenes, such as the tragic (though justified) deaths of beloved characters.

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson’s dynamic throughout the movie is perfectly planned and executed. To go from bitter enemies to once again dearest friends throughout the course of two hours is not easy, yet it is completely believable, while still keeping you on your toes in suspense of the unresolved.

On the other hand, the movie rushes through the dynamic between Katniss and Gale, which may disappoint devoted fans who are interested in that relationship.

It may not completely compare to the first Hunger Games or even Catching Fire in its scope, but it does manage to wrap up a colossal storyline, once more highlight most individual characters and keep audiences engaged throughout with physical and political skirmishes.
