The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

Sometimes you just get trapped watching one of these serial type movies.  Like an episode of Underdog, or say an old black and white Flash Gordon movie where one week they leave Flash stuck on a cliff, and then start the next movie with Flash getting out of the problem, The Hunger Games is that old black and white cliff hanger type of movie, that just kind of leaves you hanging.  Fortunately, this is the last one, at least for right now it is.  It is no wonder Philip Seymour Hoffman was taking so many drugs after he realized he was stuck in this series of films that go on and on and on.  I actually didn't go to the Divergent movies, or any of those Maze Runner movies, because I didn't want to get stuck going again and again to some movie that doesn't really resolve anything, and not in that cool way to teach us that life doesn't really resolve itself, but in that way that they want us to keep spending money on their decisions.

I really enjoyed the first couple of Hunger Games movies, because the contest was kind of an interesting idea and they did a good job with it, but the last two were just a bit too much.
