The Good:
Action scenes were good, Donald Sutherland continues to be awesome as Pres. Snow

The Bad:
The ending was a clunky mess
The Pres. Coin stuff was well done at all
Josh Hutcherson was horrible and had negative romantic chemistry with Jennifer Lawrence

C/S

Exactly how I felt, saw it with my girl, D-Suth kills it again as Snow and J-Law goes ham as Katniss at certain parts but the movie def drags at a bunch of spots. All the other actors besides Jennifer Lawrence and Donald Sutherland don't really do shyt and Brienne of Tarth gets about two seconds of screen time.

Shout out to my man Rog from the movie O playing an avox lol.

People said the ending was a mess....but what does that mean...like it's war, the whole point of the book/movie's end is to show there is no neat bow-tie ending.

The end of the war wasn't the ending of the movie though. the ending of the movie was scene after scene of Katniss moping around her shytty house and then having Peeta show up for the most platonic romantic reunion I ever saw on film.
The problems with the way the war ended were all due to neither this movie or the previous one ever taking the time to allow the audience to see Coin as anything more than a mostly minor character with murky motivation.

Hmm, OK. I guess I'm too wrapped up in the book to see it's fault as a stand-alone movie. I can admit that.

Loved it. Lived up to the book, which was my favorite. I don't expect it to receive a lot of love. It was pretty dark and made a lot of lovable people either die or complicated. But I'm satisfied.

Two thumbs up.

You really liked the book? I though t that it as horrible. Damn near everything happened off-page and she heard about it later. Then it was her doing the propos. I do however think that they did a good job turning a boring book into 2 entertaining movies. But if they changed so much, they could've incorporated the other characters,

Boring book? LOL. What.......the action scenes were crazy - they were siccing hybrid mutts, poisoned oil, machine gun fire, and explosions on the rebels- and she was directly involved in most of that because she was new commanding officer in charge of the mission into The Capitol. She watched children get bombed and her sister blow up. She caught fire and started burning alive, and she assassinated the new president. Now what book are you talking about?

Agreed. Definitely more believable in the book because they were given more time to redevelop trust.

Saw this last night, movie was alright. I never read the books and just saw the previous films on Netflix the last few years. So for entertainment value this movie doesn't stack up like the previous flicks.

shyt was meh, and I kinda wished afterwards that my resentment for the last one was still stronger so I'd skipped this. I mean, it's not as offensively bad as the last one which might genuinely be the most boring movie I've ever seen in a movie theater, but this wasn't particularly good either. In fact, the most positive thing I can say about this series as a whole is that it didn't feature some token black characters but they actually all played an important role, whether it be Beetee, Rue, Boggs, Paylor or Cinna.

It's also hilarious how forced the love triangle is and how badly it gets in the way of everything else. So much wasted potential in this series.

I only ever liked the first one. Everyone hyped up the second one like it was Empire Strikes Back and it just didn't work for me. The last one really blew ass so I'll wait for cable
