In the past decade, young adult books have become a huge craze in modern society and their movie adaptations have followed suit. These films started with the ultra popular Harry Potter series and now the Hunger Games series has really skyrocketed in popularity among a large population of fans. Recently, the cinematic Hunger Games adaptions wrapped up it's run on the big screen with the release of Mockingjay Part 2. This was the final film in the trilogy that first came to theaters in 2012 and ever since has been a huge hit and has given it's lead actress a huge boost for her career. The latest and final installment in the series, picked up right where the previous movie left off which made for a very nice transition for a year long difference between movies. Although I do enjoy the rest of the Hunger Games series, I feel as though this particular film was merely a cash grab, and that's why it was split into two parts. In the first part of this film, almost all of the important and exciting events occur so there's not much left to do in the second part. The second part was basically one event dragged out over the course of two hours, and it made the film seem like a waste when the film really would have just been better as one movie.
    The amount of time that passes in the actual movie is only a matter of about a few days so it just seems like it was a rush job that was used to drag out the life span of the series for as long as possible. Now it's now surprise to see that this particular installment in the series had the lowest box office opening weekend revenue. Overall, I felt as though this was the weakest film in the young adult series and think that it would've worked out much better if there was just one longer ending movie.
