I get that they’re following the books, but this feels like a very odd section of the story to make a film out of. It doesn’t really stand on its own, and doesn’t contribute that much to the overall plot. It’s the slow burn in the middle before you get to the climax.

It’s not a bad film, though. It felt more together than the first one, and Jennifer Lawrence gave a great performance as before. Also a big fan of Elizabeth Banks, who got to show a bit more emotion in this one.
