Rental...but a good one!
Very true to the book!
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has the technical polish and competent acting of the four-film series, though less intensity. It contains no surprises and ends with an anticlimax I have heard is faithful to the book, though it doesn’t amount to much onscreen.
The result is a reminder that, with weak material, it’s often worse to have a really good actor. The weaknesses just stands out in sharper relief.
It careens from carnage to group therapy so wildly that the action never gets to build and the conversations just repeat themselves.
