It's war in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2, and the movie feels the weight of taking the battle to the Capitol in every minute of its 137 minute runtime. The story picks up immediately after the conclusion of Part 1 and doesn't waste much time with catching any newcomers up. While Mockingjay, Part 1 explored the use of war propaganda and the politics around a rebellion, this is a full-on war movie. Part 2 feels burdened by its need to give gravity to that content, and though it is a solid film, it's also the most flawed in the series.
The story is pretty straightforward: Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is ready to take down the Capitol by killing its leader President Snow (Donald Sutherland), and she will do it by any means necessary. Snow's torture of Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) that muddied his memories and turned Katniss into a trigger is the latest and greatest burden on our heroine's shoulders, and highlights her need to do something. Katniss has reminded audiences again and again that she is not a leader, and with Part 1 already having dealt with her difficulty wrapping her mind around being the symbol at the heart of President Coin's (Julianne Moore) war propaganda, she very quickly decides to not play for the team and instead be the one to kill Snow. She heads to the front lines against Coin's wishes, but quickly gets swept back up into the political scheming of District 13's leader.
