Mockingjay: Part 2

On Saturday, I was lucky enough to view the last film in the Hunger Games Franchise. I have been well caught up on this series as I read the books just over 3 years ago. I also have gone to the cinema to see a majority of the films.

My review:
My expectations for this were at a medium level as I do enjoy the franchise but the last movie (Mockingjay Part 1) was not as memorable as I had hoped. Jennifer Lawrence's acting was better than ever and highly emotive. She led the story timelessly. The films storyline was very close to the book and although there was not that many action scenes, apart from about 4 scattered around the 2 hours, the silent shots of Katniss (around 5 seconds long) made the story what this part was written for: How the main character suffers. These pure 5 seconds(es?), as they make the final beautiful bittersweet scene really worth it. You leave this film feeling satisfied yet sad. My one con is that it would have worked better as a 3.5 hour movie than two 2 hour movies.

I have seen many reviews saying stuff like "I can't believe it's all over" ect ect ect... But one thing I can tell you is that it isn't. Yes, there will be no more books. Yes there will be no more films. Yet we still have devoted fangirls (and boys obviously) who have there heart in this fandom and their love for the hunger games will continue until there heart ceases to beat. We have fanfiction all over the internet (and everyone knows, most things stay online forever). I will leave you on that note. Our Fandoms we'll die but Our Love for them won't.
