“The Hunger Games” saga, one of the biggest franchises in film history,  has finally come to an end.

With four movies based on three books by Suzanne Collins, the franchise has milked up $800 million from the movies alone.

Similar to Harry Potter, the last book was split into two parts. But this last installment, “Mockingjay Part 2” is by far the dullest.

The movie begins painstakingly slow, starting where “Mockingjay Part 1” ended. Peeta is still brainwashed from the capital with a strong hatred for Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence). The story is focused on the same “Katniss versus Snow” rivalry.

She insists she has to be the one to kill Snow and being the revolution’s symbol is not as important. The same issues are brought up, and there is even some rivalry with Rebel President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore).

Katniss and the rest of her crew make their way to the capital to execute Snow. The scenes to follow include a bunch of unnecessary “Hunger Games” in the Capital, in attempt to keep Katniss away from the evil President Snow.

Rather than using artillery, a bunch of complicated game designs are performed to catch Katniss. Although it made for a suspenseful action scene, there is no value in the content.

A spotlight is put on the love triangle between Peeta, Gale, and Katniss, which was downplayed in the other films.

On top of the jumble of unnecessary scenes is the gloominess which seems to fill up the film as well as the audience.

There is no more “girl on fire” and the indignation Katniss showed is now shown as weariness and distress. It doesn’t affect Lawrence, as she plays her part strikingly well.

“Mockingjay Part 2” does impress with its handling of Coin. The film also portrays the way victory comes with some loss and the hypocrisy that supposed heroes can have.

I give “Mockingjay Part 2” two Grizzly paws out of five, both for Lawrence’s performance. The franchise wouldn’t be as successful without her.
