The Hunger Games : Mockingjay Part 2 (2015) 7/10

Starring : Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore
Director : Francis Lawrence
Running Time : 137 mins

With Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) having joined the rebellion against the Capitol, she has just one thing on her mind 0 assassinating President Snow (Sutherland) and bringing an end to the Hunger Games once and for all. But along the way she also has to help Peeta (Hutcherson) get over his brainwashing which has turn him so thoroughly against her.

This was something of a damp squib in terms of ending the series, and in spite of the fact that Hollywood enjoy changing how books end when they adapt them to the screen, they kept the cringeworthy and, in my opinion, nonsensical ending from the books. Fans of the series will either find it refreshingly different from the previous movies, or will hate the direction change this series took.
