The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 Reviews
It ends the story in just about the most perfect way I could have imagined. It’s not a completely jovial final note, but it has enough optimism to make us hope for better days for this fictional realm.

Still, after a tedious "Part 1" half of slowly-formulated politics, propaganda posturing, and endless scene setting, this finishing chapter is an improvement.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2024
However, although it far surpasses Mockingjay – Part 1, it is not better than the rest of the films in the saga, since among other things its ending is somewhat predictable. Despite this, a positive aspect...

Lawrence's extremely ugly film loses itself in the back half when it stops focusing on how community supports Katniss and simply becomes another arena film. The adaptation couldn't escape Collins' bad source material, but why did it have to be ~2.5 hrs?
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 14, 2023
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 may not be remembered for its quality as a film, or even its promotion of the female-centric narrative, but the highly-engaging conclusion delivers on the promise of Suzanne Collins’ novels.

Ultimately 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2' provides a satisfying end to the story rather than an inspiring one.

What comes as a shock is how the Hollywood adaptation has maintained many of the most controversial and un-commercial elements of the story, delivering a narrative with themes of terrorism, violence as entertainment, entertainment as propaganda.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 25, 2022
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Parts 1 and 2 make for an epic conclusion to the franchise but the second film is stronger than the first.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 23, 2022
Unlike its predecessor, it has a good pace and knows how to balance political content and action. Those who read the books will get by with a good adaptation, although perhaps a little cold compared to the original story [Full review in Spanish]

Mockingjay Part 2 brings a solid conclusion to a riveting series, with a wonderfully suspenseful buildup and a solid end that is sure to satisfy.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2021
Do a shot every time Katniss is knocked out and fights to regain consciousness and my guess is you'll be just a shell-shocked as she is by the end of the movie.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Even when the set designs show potential as battlegrounds of claustrophobic, mazy terrors, they're spoiled by traditional zombie hordes or video game-like deathtraps.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 4, 2020
It may be that everyone involved has merely grown a little bored with a limited storyline whose more intriguing elements have inevitably been eroded.

Any film franchise adapted from the books will never entirely satisfy everyone. But with The Hunger Games, the franchise comes to a satisfactory and epic end.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 17, 2020
A tedious and dour experience that fails to bring its themes together in a satisfying manner.
| Original Score: C- | Jul 14, 2020
Feels like the fragment it is, but provides a satisfactory end to the larger saga.
| Original Score: B | Jul 3, 2020
If you have been faithful to the franchise, you will surely love this movie. [Full review in Spanish]

What we see in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2' is the absence of emotion witnessed in the first installments of this popular franchise. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 26, 2020
The series finally concludes with the poorly named The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 2, 2019
[M]ay not be the best film of the franchise, and it may seem a little lackluster as an ending for a franchise as epic as this, but it serves the franchise, the books, and Katniss Everdeen well. This is the perfect ending for this legacy.
