Katniss is persuaded to be the "Mockingjay" figurehead.

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2014)

To some harsh critical remarks, the Hunger Games franchise is milking its finale by splitting the third novel into two movies. This installment hasn't grabbed me like the previous two films. But, Jennifer Lawrence is enough to put me in the theater. The Hunger Games trying to avoid a decline in power at the box office moves forward with Katniss Everdeen(Lawrence)being persuaded to become the figurehead of a "Mockingjay" movement per say. The black-robed ninja with bodice-like breastplate and quiver of arrows will lead the downtrodden districts in a not-too-late war against tyrannical President Snow(Donald Sutherland), who has captured Peeta(Josh Hutcherson)forcing him to take part in propaganda interviews intended to appease his comrades ready to rebel. Katniss is sure that Peeta is being brainwashed and uses this as energy to allow herself to appear in a campaign series of anti-Snow vignettes to interrupt government TV broadcasts. Katniss will galvanize a rebellious attack against Snow at the same time attempting to rescue Peeta.
A cast overview: Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Jeffery Wright, Sam Claflin, Elizabeth Banks and the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
