‘8 years later’The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Episode 2 comes a prequel for ‘The Hunger Games’ that is the same as ‘The Phantom Menace’ (1999) for ‘Star Wars’: tells Origins of the saga’s main villainwhich caused it to turn into something like this. But unlike Anakin SkywalkerCoriolanus Snow He was always a superficial character and thus his actions required no contextualization; Also offered here It’s so forced and unconvincing that it doesn’t make any sense..
New movie offers more doses of ridiculous hairstyles and outfits, characters with ridiculous names, and the life-or-death tournaments that brought their predecessors to success.. It also stages a dull romance between this Snowman and a girl determined to express herself through singing. What it doesn’t provide is a solid story, or one that can build tension, or even minimally compelling action scenes (the games’ own version is a lethargy), nor, above all, a limelight with one-tenth the charisma exuded by Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in previous titles. And for two and a half hours, he seems incapable of providing a timely explanation for either his hero or the bloody rivalry that gave him that title. It can be said that it is recommended only for the most die-hard fans, if it were not for the fact that it would probably not satisfy them too.
