‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2’ Review: Self-Important and Dull

If you are deeply invested in “The Hunger Games” main characters, you will be more than satisfied with the final five minutes of “Mockingjay – Part 2.” Unfortunately, the 131 minutes that comes before are grim, sanctimonious, and downright dull. No kidding, you can probably skip them. After two absolutely terrific opening chapters, I was willing to forgive “Mockingjay – Part 1.”  As slow and dull as it was, when you know the whole idea is to set up the finale, you have to be willing to assume that once both parts are put together, you will have something worth the wait.  A cinematic slow burn can be a very special thing, as long as there is a satisfying explosion at the end. “Mockingjay – Part 2” opens with some promise....
