The Hunger Games – Mockingjay Part 2 – War, War Never Changes
The movie has received a more positive review on Rotten Tomatoes than “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1”, earning 70 percent compared to 65 percent for the first part which released past year.
Jennifer Lawrence, who is the lead star in the new movie “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2”, can be seen in most marketing materials for the film.
The war in Panem continues, picking up immediately where MOCKINGJAY – PART 1 left off. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) is no longer a prisoner but deeply brainwashed to murder Katniss (Lawrence).
The last of The Hunger Games movies is finally upon us and to remind you of that (like you’d actually need any reminder) here are a few clips and a featurette from it. John is the co-host of the Flix Junkies podcast and will always entertain you with his stories.
Nevertheless, if the forecast is true, the fourth and final installment of Lionsgate’s colossal Hunger Games franchise is slated to land the top 25 opening weekend of all time, although the film will also hold the record for the lowest opening weekend of the franchise.
According to a report in The Wrap, the opening box office collections will also be enough to beat “The Night Before” as well as Julia Roberts’ “Secret in Their Eyes” – the other two openers this weekend. Whatever its faults, this remains light years ahead of the Insurgent/Maze Runner film franchises, which have so far failed to steal The Hunger Games’s thunder.
“In ‘Mockingjay 2, ‘ it’s really the first time that she embraces being the symbol of this revolution”, she added. She’s complemented well by confidant Heymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket) and rebel President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore).
The final chapter in The Hunger Games franchise has just hit cinemas, giving closure to the millions of fans worldwide. Director Francis Lawrence told MTV News that the moment was crucial to the films and characters. The three previous films have earned $2.3 billion in worldwide gross. Still, PART 2 ends up with the better half of the story, concluding The Districts rebellion against the Capitol and finishing Katniss’s character arc in a dark and fulfilling way.
