In all three previous movies of this saga, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay part I, there are moving scenes. Interesting dialogue. Exciting moments. Impressive soundtrack.
This movie was poor, disappointing. Correct. 5 in all. It gets a 6 due to the amazing acting jobs of some of the leads (Lawrence is fine, Moore is good, Sutherland is great and Hutcherson is IMMENSE).
Without thinking much, I can remember some impressive scene from any of the previous movies. The Tributes' Marches. Rue's four notes. Safe and Sound. Isaac's Daughter. The Hanging Tree scene.
In this saga, I used to care about the characters. I used to feel with them. I felt moved.
This movie was empty. Void. The actors did their best, and so did the director. But the soundtrack was non-existent or forgettable. The script wasn't very good. In Mockingjay I, I could feel how Coin's speeches were getting better, and why they were moving. In this one, no speech was moving. No scene was moving.
My favourite in the saga is Catching Fire. Mockingjay I was clearly a transition movie. It didn't have an end, but it certainly had moving moments. Memorable moments.
I got out of the theatre after Mockingjay part I with a burning desire to hear "The Hunger Tree" again, and thinking "if the next one is just as good they're going to finish great and will get a cult saga!"
I got out of the theatre after Mockingjay part II feeling unmoved, empty... As time is passing, I feel disappointed, cheated and milked.
It was obvious that the production had suffered cuts. In the soundtrack, in the special effects, in the settings (the scenarios were much smaller, less epic), in the soundtrack, in the script.
Lionsgate knew we were going to see it at the cinema, and instead of finishing with great fireworks, they chose to milk us for the minimum.
You should milk cows, not fans. Or you will lose them.
I wanted to buy the DVDs for the saga. Now not only I will not, it's going to be months until I go to the cinema ever again.
I can't believe they destroyed the potential of this saga with such a poor ending.
And it's not bad. It's poor. But I wanted great.
