Final installment in the series. They really should've made one third film - I get why they did what they did but it doesn't change how I feel. This has more weight - it involves the deaths of several characters, a clear goal (to take the capital), some very good actors, a complex political scenario. The military strategy stuff feels bodgy and they struggle to find stuff for Jennifer Lawrence to do - media stars aren't that important in war? Why not just send her on a mission to kill the president? Why miss out on a final battle? Why not have Woody Harrelson describe the contents of Philip Seymour Hoffman's wishes instead of reading a letter? (Would PSH really put it on paper).
Anyway the resolution of the love triangle was well done, the production values are good. It takes itself terribly seriously but that's part of it's charm.
