Teamed with a group of her closest friends--including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson)--Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Supported by her friends, including Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Katniss faces her biggest challenge yet, fighting not only for her life but for the future of her world. The disadvantage is the cost: it costs about 30% more than the standard Airmail/Expedited option, but is available if requested. Meanwhile, her friend and fellow Games victor Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) is in the hands of the Capitol, where he is tortured and brainwashed for their benefit.The story has all the familar tropes of a sci-fi/fantasy film, which I assume is the result of the source material (Collins' books). Years before he becomes the tyrannical president of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow remains the last hope for his fading lineage. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2builds on the momentum of each previous chapter in the blockbuster series to reach a fever pitch of both emotion and action, bringing Katniss full circle from the dismayed girl caught in a dystopian nightmare to leading the charge to remake her nation. I now own, and have seen and read, all of the books and movies of the franchise and consider them among some of the best entertainment of my life. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.

Actually, I thought the movie version of the ending was better (just couldn't imagine Rue as a werewolf). Faced with the most daunting odds - and watched by the eyes of a hopeful nation - Katniss must put into motion courage, strength and empowerment against the all-powerful Capitol. Fast forward several years: the book had been out, the movie hade been out, the DVD had been out and only then did I accidentally stumble across the DVD at the library. Every year, on Reaping Day, each of the districts must choose, by lottery or volunteer, one boy and one girl to represent them in the Capitol’s twisted idea of grand entertainment that proves its total control, while also giving the famished populace the faintest ray of hope to hang onto.Our reintroduction to the lush world of the Capitol is juxtaposed against the 10th annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 brings the franchise to its powerful final chapter in which Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) realises the stakes are no longer just for survival--they are for the future. As Panem prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games), autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland), still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games, stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe out any resistance from the districts once and for all. Request Rejected This page is unavailable due to either geographic restrictions or other restrictions in place at this time. I immediately found myself captivated by the beautiful cinematography and background theme and despite the over-the-top and ridiculous costumes and makeup of the people in The Capitol I decided to continue watching.

NOTE: other restrictions can be a result of our security platform detecting potential malicious activity. With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. There’s more action, more scope, more emotion and most of all, this film brings the story to its moving conclusion.This is the moment when she realizes she has no choice but to open her wings and fully embody the Mockingjay symbol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow becomes alarmed when he's assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird from District 12. The diverse young cast shines as they challenge the powers that be to reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.
