The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 closes out the film quadrilogy of the book trilogy. You might expect, with the final – and shortest book in the series turned into two movies because… money, that there would a lot of detail work (possibly some that wasn’t in the book’s climactic few days) and you’d be right (as Elizabeth Banks has noted in interviews, Effie Trinket was not a part of these events in the books…).
But the changes are small and, for the most part, seamless and the crux of the climactic film is that war may be fought for righteous reasons, but it is never good. In keeping with that idea, Mockingjay Part 2 is a dour, not quite dreary exercise in every respect.
Almost lost in the excitement and anticipation for the final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a new teaser for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 has also been released. Check it out after the jump.
When is a teaser not a teaser? When it’s the flaming logo of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and audio clips of some of the most important moments of the previous movies in the series.
Oddly, hearing Katniss progress from naïve District 12 girl to full on rebel is kind of exciting. Check it out after the jump. Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 opens on November 20th.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 could have gone wrong in so many ways that it’s a genuine relief to be able to say it’s infinitely better than the book – at least, so far. It’s smart and thought provoking while having considerably more action that I was expecting. In fact, it’s the best film in the series, so far.
This is new! The AMC Theater chain has posted its own trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. It’s pretty splendid. Check it out after the jump.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 opens November 21st.
One of the cooler moments in the Mockinjay novel comes when Katniss meets Cressida and realizes that there are people from the pampered Capitol who have fled to fight for freedom – for her.
That meeting has been released as a teaser for The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 1 which will be in theaters on November 21st. Check it out following the jump.
