Well the studio's first goal is to make money, and if the fans are happy it's icing on the cake. By doing what they did they hit one bird with two stones.

Why are you still complaining about HG2/BR2?


My guess? Largely because Mockingjay is still a BR2 ripoff.

My god i just watched this movie and the 137 minute runtime feels like easily like 4 and half hours. I've never seen a movie drag this much.. too many useless scenes. Sometimes it felt like a loop, some thing happens that carries the movie forward then useless dialogue and Peeta feeling really bad and saying how you can trust him.

This is why you don't split a 350 page book in 2 movies (Yeah i know they'll make twice the money).

Also i saw every dang death and "twist" coming from a mile away and i didn't even need to remember the other movies (because i actually remembered nothing about the story),

Good job with that Climax too. Apart from the fact that i saw every thing coming a mile away the scene had no "punch" whatsoever

Many Hollywood films are their versions of Asian/anime hits, tweaked to appeal to white audiences. "Inception" for instance, is the Hollywood version of "Paprika," and it is an excellent film. These films are not "rip offs," but rather tributes.
