The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015)
“Mockingjay – Part 2 is the last Hunger Games film you’ll ever have to watch, so if you’ve got the last three under your belt already, then you may as well finish it out with this film.”

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 (2014)
“For some reason, filmmakers seem to want to spread out a single book into two movies lately, which in my opinion makes these films drag, especially when it comes to Young Adult novels that don’t have a whole lot of in-depth detail to begin with.”
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
“With the abrupt ending of the first film, most had hoped the second entry would provide all the answers we never got. Instead, the previous film now makes even less sense.”
The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015)
“It’s only two hours long, which is about standard for today, but it’s two hours that drag on longer than the last 15 minutes of class before summer vacation.”
The Maze Runner (2014)
“The movie gives us answers to exactly none of these questions. And here I thought the ending of Lost was a gyp.”
The Giver (2014)
“There are times when it feels like the characters in The Giver are really just living in a slightly more authoritarian Disneyworld.”
Divergent (2014) doesn’t diverge from the YA dystopian formula
“See what happens when humans decide to build whole societies around single isolated virtues and really boring color-coordinated wardrobes.”
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
“Catching Fire is a far superior, more adult film than The Hunger Games, as we see the young characters we recognize from the first film grow into the people that could potentially help shape a new world. In particular, we watch as Katniss begins to believe in the power she could wield, and we wonder if this mockingjay has finally spread her wings.”
The Hunger Games (2012)
“Who would have thought a movie about kids killing kids would be this family-friendly?”
