So the adventures of Katniss Everdeen come to an end...
Right, so first off a little disclaimer. I am not a fan of The Hunger Games nor of the genre and truth be told I’m not even sure I’ve seen the first two or was it three films prior to this one. Also I tend to mix The Hunger Games series and the Divergent series in my head every once in a while. Not the stars or anything like that, not the main cast anyway, but the details, minor ones mostly.
Here’s what I know of this latest one off the top of my head. It’s the last one and there probably won’t be more of it unless the studio execs see so much money pouring in from it that they’ll get someone to come up with a script to continue it or make a prequel out of it. As for it being the last one though, it pretty much wraps up the whole franchise. What started with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) being selected to represent her district in The Hunger Games then on to her surviving those games despite the powers that be represented by President Snow (Donald Sutherland) trying to kill her and the other participants, to her being the champion of the games and a symbol of the games then to her leading a rebellion and of course now trying to take down the leader of Panem. Or that’s what I’m thinking it all is. Like I said I’m vague on the details.
Anyway, on to the movie. So it takes place immediately after the last one and Katniss is of course recovering. Peeta is not well in the head due to what Snow and his henchmen have done to him and Coin, Plutarch and Haymitch are preparing Katniss for the next step in the rebellion which is of course to front Katniss for the fight against Snow and the Capital City. But Katniss isn’t too keen on being the face of the rebellions propaganda machine, in fact all she wants to do is put an arrow in Snow’s chest. But she goes along with it anyway biding her time and opportunity until she can slip away and do what she really wants to do.
Katniss and Gale get assigned to a team and off they go into the war zone but instead of being at the front they stay in the back and make nice little propaganda videos but even then things aren’t all lights, camera, action. The city is riddled with traps and eventually their little walk towards Snow takes them underground and into the sewers. Somewhere along the way Peeta joins them too.
The film of course ends at the home of Snow and although Snow is eventually captured things don’t end with his demise. Suffice to say that things end with everyone living happily ever after.
Hope I didn’t give too much away but then if you’re a fan of the books and have read them all none of this should come as a surprise, right?

Well, story wise it wasn’t too hard to follow even for me who hardly remembers watching the previous films. Most of the story, the core stuff like character development and story plots and premise have already been established by the previous films but even so for those who haven’t followed the franchise it shouldn’t be too hard to follow. As with other films in the genre or with the same storyline this too is pretty predictable for the most part but that being said it wasn’t too bad. It was still entertaining in my opinion. Then of course there’s that twist in the end which was entertaining.
The story unfolds at a goodly pace save for a few moments where it lost a little momentum. The performances given by the cast were pretty good but then they’ve been through several films understanding and refining their characters. Lawrence did a pretty good job as did Hutcherson and of course the other more experienced actors.
Notice how many arrows she has? Then try to remember how many she actually uses. Archers in movies have magic quivers with an unlimited supply of arrows. ©Lionsgate
The action was pretty good too. Unique to the franchise I guess what with the Hunger Games being nothing more than a game show trying to creatively kill young people. People say this film and the other films in the genre stole their idea from a certain Japanese film from the 90’s but I don’t remember them having an entire Metropolis rigged up to kill let alone an atrium in the middle of a bunch of high rise rigged to flood with oil.
Camera work and visual effects looked pretty good too. Loved the city. Nothing to complain about visually but nothing all that impressive either. You’ve seen similar or better in other sci-fi films.
The only thing I probably have any issue with is the prologue, the bit at the ending which was a tad too long and only served to drag the movie on a bit. It could have been much shorter. There were slow moments in the movie but it was okay since it was sandwiched between the action but the end was a little too long for me.
Overall, I did enjoy the movie. I’m sure the fans of the franchise will for the most part find it a satisfying end to the franchise. But for those who aren’t fans then it’s still a decent action flick. It may not be great but it’s still better than some others that have been put out there. So I’m going to be giving this one a 3 out of 5 since I’m not a big fan of it. I’m sure if you’re a fan you’ll be giving it a lot more.
