Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 ***

Francis Lawrence directed this Sci-Fi drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Willow Shields, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Natalie Dormer, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for some thematic material. Running time is two hours and seventeen minutes.

With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown.

I've seen all the films in this series although I wouldn't call myself a fan. Nonetheless, this is a fitting ending to the series and I expect it will be enjoyed by all who've been anxiously awaiting its arrival. Production values are very good and the cast acquits themselves well. The CG effects are good without being overwhelming. It is, as are so many films these days, too long, which means you're going to be constantly interrupted by those who need to use the restroom. I'm a little surprised this isn't being shown in 3D since it was filmed in that process (and is being shown in 3D in the rest of the world), but the cynic in me has a feeling this will show up in a few months in that process here so additional ticket sales can be garnered. Adults will have to fight their way in for the first few days but this will be around for some time so you're not going to miss it if you choose to wait awhile.

There are no additional scenes once the credits begin. A large screen is a must. Theatre/Times. IMAX Times.
