November is here and so is the last part of The Hunger Games series. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two premiered Nov. 20, being the best of all four movies yet.

With a few changes, the events in the movies were quite similar to the book. Surprising of all were the scenes that were so precisely described in the book that come to life in the movie.

The movie begins exactly where Mockingjay Part 1 ended, with Peeta Mellark (played by Josh Hutcherson) out of the Capitol and in District 13 and Katniss with her neck severely injured. The whole movie revolves around Katniss trying to get to the Capitol and kill President Snow. Facing the difficulties to achieve this mission, the movie also captures the captivating love story between Peeta and Katniss. The movie also ends with a fulfilling ending, especially to the girl on fire, Katniss Everdeen.
