While watching the second part of Mockingjay, the final premiere of the Hunger Games series, I found myself having a hard time trying to figure out what happened in the previous three movies rather than concentrating on the movie that was playing in front of me. With the first movie, Hunger Games, making its premiere all the way back in July of 2012, one can understand my difficulty to put the pieces of the puzzle back together.  Eventually I was able to rack my brain and make connections as the movie continued on, slowly recollecting prior events.  However, I found myself getting annoyed with the movie the further it went on.  I didn’t even have to read the book to figure out what was going to happen next.  It was extremely predictable, despite its attempt to keep the audience second guessing.  We all know that the Capital and its president, Snow (Donald Sutherland) are the enemy of this series and the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has made it her mission to put an end to them both.  Throughout the beginning, the movie portrays this plot; however, by the end it was evident to me that there was going to be a “surprise.”  During a scene where Katniss encounters Snow in his greenhouse, she was given every opportunity to end him right then and there, but she chooses not to. Why?  Probably because she had someone else in mind. President Coin (Julianne Moore), the leader of District 13, obviously had bad intentions when she mentioned remaking the Hunger Games during a meeting.  It was no surprise that when Katniss agreed with Coin on shooting Snow at Coin’s inauguration as new president that Katniss shifted her bow last minute and hit Coin in the chest instead, killing her immediately.  But it doesn’t stop there!  The anticipation continues in everyone’s favorite love triangle between Katniss, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), and Gale (Liam Hemsworth).  It’s no surprise that Katniss ends up with Peeta afterall.  Despite the history she shared with Gale, it was apparent to everyone in the audience the admiration she had for Peeta.  The end of the movie shows a glimpse into the future where Katniss and Peeta are found frolicking around with their new children all happy-go-lucky just as everyone had wanted and expected the ending of the series to be.

Overall, Mockingjay 2 had few good parts to it.  What the film tried to make unexpected failed, and everything became predictable as the film went on.  If you are bored and have nothing to do, I would suggest this movie.  You may find it to be somewhat entertaining.
