I enjoyed the movie, but watching for the second time I saw there was one glaring flaw, and I'm not sure if it's the responsibility of the new director for this second film, or the actor.
Jennifer Lawrence's over-acting (limited to 2 or 3 significant moments) doesn't maim the movie, but it certainly momentarily breaks the spell. First, as Katniss ascends the tube to the arena, Once (more than once?) when she's in the arena, and once more in the last couple of minutes of the film.
We had the same kind of crazed in the latter seasons of Handmaid's Tale; one presumes the directors didn't have a robust imagination for alternatives than "crazed expression #24".
It's as if the characters, contrary to most reasonable people I think, actually hadn't reached the point of not being surprised by anything that might occur, in spite of all that has occurred to date.
Otherwise, a very good film, well done all-around.
