The penultimate Hunger Games film is all about setting up the final battle between Katniss and the Capital. Where this movie fails is that it does not give the viewers quite enough. When it comes down to it, just not that much happened and the action was kind of lacking. I, for one, am not a fan of the recent trend of splitting the final book of a series into two parts. To be fair, I was not particularly fond of the last installment of Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games trilogy anyways.
But this movie does some things right. With an ensemble cast, there are some very solid performances. This is one of Philip Seymour Hoffman's final roles and his performance does his legacy justice. And Jennifer Lawrence is good in everything she does (though she doesn't do anything terribly special). This film does lack the stylish glitz and glamour of the Capital, and the intensity of the Hunger Games that stood out in the first two films.
