<p>The Hunger Games movie franchise, also understood as Jennifer Lawrence&#8217;s fame machine, is finally coming to end. Lionsgate put out a fairly detailed The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 2 trailer today, ensuring that, yes, it&#8217;s coming to end. Everyone&#8217;s back for a good old romp in Panem. Here&#8217;s how it felt, for me, the first time watching: Donald Sutherland [&#8230;]</p>

<p>Everyone&#8217;s back for a good old romp in Panem. Here&#8217;s how it felt, for me, the first time watching:</p>
<ol>
<li>Donald Sutherland is still the king of ominous voice-overs.</li>
<li>Snow surrounded by Snow&#8230; subtle.</li>
<li>The world-building in the movies has always been a strange combination of tech and poverty &#8211; as dictated by the books &#8211; but it&#8217;s one of the few things that never clicked, visually.</li>
<li>Also, the hero shots have never quite landed for me either.<a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Hero-Shot.png"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20007" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Hero-Shot.png" loading="lazy" alt="Mockinjay Part 2 Trailer Hero Shot" width="1619" height="778" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Hero-Shot.png 1619w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Hero-Shot-300x144.png 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Hero-Shot-1024x492.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1619px) 100vw, 1619px" /></a></li>
<li>According to modern movies, there is no other future airplane than those with propellers inside of wings. Get on that, Northrop Grumman.</li>
<li>2:02 is all kinds of horror, but it&#8217;s also a great reminder that, in spite of numbers 3 and 4 on this list, the cinematography in this series has been phenomenal. Book readers will get it.</li>
<li>Somebody&#8217;s been watching Guillermo del Toro movies. I forget what this is supposed to be, but I like it.<a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Mutant.png"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20005" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Mutant.png" loading="lazy" alt="Mockinjay Part 2 TrailerMutant" width="1691" height="774" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Mutant.png 1691w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Mutant-300x137.png 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-2-Mutant-1024x469.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1691px) 100vw, 1691px" /></a></li>
<li>I guess they&#8217;re just brushing over that whole cliffhanger thing at the end of <em>The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 1</em>. Katniss&#8217; psychosis was just a fleeting ailment, apparently.</li>
<li>Peta gets a voice-over as well, but was he as dramatically relegated to the sideshow this late in the books too? It seems like the character has become less and less important.</li>
<li>Alright, 2:02 should be a cliffhanger for <em>The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 3. </em>That exact moment, and then cut to black. <em>Mockinjay Part 3 </em>is a montage of Katniss Everdeen hero shots taking place inside her head.<a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-3-Bubbles.png"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20008" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-3-Bubbles.png" loading="lazy" alt="Mockinjay Part 2 Trailer Bubbles" width="1864" height="769" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-3-Bubbles.png 1864w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-3-Bubbles-300x124.png 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Mockinjay-Part-3-Bubbles-1024x422.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1864px) 100vw, 1864px" /></a></li>
