Spoilers

We are off to Capitol one last time with Katniss. Lets see her set the world on fire & jsut be sassy.

Synopsis time peoples you love them behonest.
So we left part 1 with Katniss happy to have Peeta back but hes been brainwashed to kill her. This one starts with her still angry at that fact & trying to save him. In order to do this & send a message to snow they send her to district 2 which by claiming a victory over will mean they can start there assault on the capitol. However Katniss is shot. The Capitol claim victory is theres, but Snow still knows that deep down shes still alive.
Finnick & Annie finally marry & Katniss uses this as a distraction to escape district 13 to go the capitol to assassinate Snow for what he has done to her & the other victors. She gets there & is automatically assigned a team, including Boggs, Finnick, her tv team, a few other spys, Gale & eventually Peeta. Boggs is killed by a trap & passes command to Katniss for the team. The Capitol do then believe that she is now dead. Katniss leads her team through the Capitol to only then get to another trap, which includes monsters & murderous mist & the floor collapsing. Finnick sacrifices himself so everyone else can live. Katniss admits shes gone rouge & everyone says they knew & were just happy to go along with her. Eventually the snow gives refuge to people of the capitol being attacked & opens up his ground for them Katniss & Gale both decide this is there best chance to end this so travel to his house, this happens after Peeta & Gale have a heart to heart know that Katniss will soon be faced with a choice to choose between them both.
Upon getting to the Capitol Gale is captured, a large bomb goes off from the care packages which kills children. A district 13 medical team turns up to help which includes Katniss’ sister Prim. Upon learning what happens when the bomb goes off from part one of this film the second one goes off killing or seriously injuring most of the crowd including Prim. Katniss wakes up knowing her sister who she has spent the last 2 years trying to keep alive is now dead & that it was district 13 fault. This is all but confirmed by Gale & Snow who had earlier promised to never lie to Katniss.
The remaining victors decide to hold one more hunger games but with the children of the capitol as Coin takes charge of the country. This is announced at Snow assassination which is to be carried out by Katniss, but at the last second she has a change of heart & murder Coin, before attempting to kill herself, but is stopped by Peeta.
Katniss & Haymitch are sent back to district 12 to rebuild & stay out of trouble, & all the district border are opened & people can move freely under new president Paylor. Katniss eventually reconnects with Peeta & they slowly fall back in love, & end up starting a family.

I firmly believe that chapter one of MockingJay should of ended with Katniss being shot, & was so livid when it didnt. That’s the perfect cliffhanger if you haven’t read the books, because part 2 could of been everyone else’s uprising & bringing them together & then you find out shes alive. Obviously i had read the book so knew that wasnt the case, but i just wish they had made more of it in the film other than just the oh shes been shot.

Finnick & Annies Wedding could of been so much more of a spectacle too. I know that district 13 are all a bit meh but it could of look more rustic & original. It just felt a little hollow like it was only there for Katniss to escape it. Also no one ever check that she had gone missing… hmm hard to believe.

I like how they dealt with Hoffmans death. He is very key to the end of this film & the way it was re-written that he just stepped aside to let the future take charge & that haymitch passed on his news that was good.

Katniss should have been able to properly lose the plot like she does in the book in her room & have her full on mental break down. It makes it all seem far to quick & simple in the film, like it all just happens over night, no time scale to it or in depth & then when she does scream at the cat you think yes we are getting somewhere & then that is that. I know its a kids film, but its a very dark kids film. They can cope with it people. Trust me. If they loved the book like me they were crying reading that for the first time & going through that struggle with her, wanting her to just vent & say what she needed to.

Prim had to die. I had always thought she needed to from when she volunteered in the first book. I sat there going shes not getting out of this, thats the whole point that no matter what Katniss does it wont save her. Im glad they didnt cop out of that.

Donald Sutherland is always just the best, like his son obviously. Hes always brings you that smug im the best & you had all better get in line for me style & its just to be admired every time.

Even know i knew some bits were coming i still jumped, when that bomb goes off or the creatures arrive, its just a reaction. I wanted a few more modules to go & be involved & a bit more suspense, if your going to make this a two parter we need something epic.

Im so glad they kept the voting scene in for the final games. That sums the entire series up in one moment that deep down everyone is just as bad as everybody else & that humanity is to blame for all of this & that you would do the same in someone else’s shoes.

I just wanted it to feel more heroic & less oh we’ve got to get this done, thats how it felt. I still bloody love this film & the franchise & Jen & if the rumors are true im so up for a possible new book, but i just wanted a more honest finale.
