Yet from the beginning, the Hunger Games phenomenon has been different for those who cared to notice.

Now,The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2cements it.

The movie, as you might expect, picks up moments after the firstMockingjays ending.

Finally in adulthood, Miss Everdeen discovers herself alienated by the increasingly hawkish Gale and the psychologically shattered Peeta.

Particular standouts include the inventive uses found in urban booby traps designed by the Capitols Game Makers.

Weve watched each have a meteoric rise of popularity within the films universe, as well as our own.

The odds are ever in its favor.
