I saw Part 2 yesterday at the theater and it was anti-climactic in my opinion. True the last half of the book was basically the same but it kept the two parts as a whole so one was more impressed overall; it was just rather blah....I left thinking "well I guess they had to finish it someway." While the director left out some of the travel forward to the President's home I loved the scene with the oil. Amazing. They also did a fair job of showing the psychological issues with Peeta and....hmmmm, the girl..., but it floundered a bit. From beginning to end I still liked the book better for the details, but the clothing, stunts, production was quite the cinematic achievement.
I agree completely with you Powder River Rose, there was just something missing from the Movie. In a way the book was able to carry over the weight of her feelings and decisions concerning Peta and President Snow feels a but more menacing in writing than on film, although I think Donald Sutherland is perfect for the role. I have some issues with book as well, somehow Katness wasn't as strong/clear the second time round for me.
Yes, so true. The movie lost a lot of the relationship between Katness, Peeta and Snow. And it's funny, I don't remember movie 3 showing much of the torture against Peeta and movie 4 certainly didn't show it, but the book I remember well. Donald Sutherland is the perfect evil man (his smile still gives me chills) and I think the movie made a good choice with Julianne Moore as President Coin....they created a great atmosphere for the scene when they killed her, though in the theater people who hadn't read the books could see that coming. I have to admit while I thought she needed to be killed I was surprised and pleased when in happened in the book. hehe
Lmao I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought so.
