I havent really enjoyed the Hunger games until this episode and have to disagree with all the nay sayers for this conclusion and for once we do actually have a final conclusion with no getout for another franchise.It has oodles of action for the action fans and a fair bit of Silent Hill'esque horror for the gore fans, a smattering of romance for the romantics amongst us and some pretty good acting, half decent script and I really thoroughly enjoyed the dark and sad but simultaneously happy ending.Very happily surprised at this final conclusion and the music was rather excellent too!
...

Pity it was not fully executed as so by the hero.

... View MoreIt's not that bad. It's not good, either, but knocking it, I won't, because it is just simply not really, really my kind of thing, an adventure heroine for tomboys. But I won a complete box-set of all four, so me complain, no. And it's one big opus, I'd grant anybody that, not to be ridiculed.But...It is kinda dull compared to what you'd expect, given this Katniss Fandom. But yee-whiz, there's a bit in here which will wake the whole theater of sleepyheads. Those white maggoty monstrosities, they erupt onto the screen, ain't nobody yawning in front of the TV no more! Doesn't save the movie as a whole, but if there were more really suspenseful scenes like that (and the immediately following cement shrapnel ricochet bit) then it sure would have been different.When Katniss took aim with the bow, I think everybody knew what was gonna happen. That was so, so obvious. Just saying. When the people began trudging off to the Palace, I thought "what fools" hell, this movie sure depicts the masses as stupid sheep. Kinda unlikely that people would have fallen for that ol' gimmick. That one is something I'm not just saying. That's kinda corny, I'd say, in this day and age, in a future with very interesting hologram technology, not the Middle Ages anymore, people wouldn't be so led by their noses.Uhm, Mockingjay, the Mockingjay theme was almost all but absent in the final. No little birdie. Only one twitter on the televised thingie. Just saying. And that costume, I have a big screen, but it was just black and functional, not much of a Mockingjay. Just saying.She chooses... Oops! Not gonna spoil. But she chooses that halfway dorky guy??? Argh. Just saying, no way, bad, bad choice.Overall, the movie joins the ranks of overblown ice-cold movies. Unsmiling cold heroine, think UNDERWORLD and ULTRAVIOLET, not my kind of thing. But those franchises were filled with lots and lots of good stretches, this one, blegh, no, not so much. Not so much at all.But I could see what they saw in the concept of the first one. Sport to the death (for the guys), and a kick-ass heroine (generally for everybody) That first bit of the theme was, oddly enough, discarded. Don't know why. Don't really care, not my thing anyway, but they were sitting there with the golden goose...
