The Hunger Games: 10 Massive Spoilers For The Final Two Movies

7. There's A Lot Of Brutal Death

Much like JK Rowling's character death free-for-all in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Suzanne Collins is more than happy to kill her proverbial darlings throughout Mockingjay. In order for the brutal rebellion to feel convincing, there had to be casualties and the story is certainly not shy to kill off central characters with alarming regularity. No character is sacred as Katniss and a small team of rebels press on towards the centre of the Capitol in a direct assault on President Snow's home. Triggering a series of booby traps - known as "pods" - the group are slowly picked off by their volatile surroundings. It is these pods that are the last line of defence for the Capitol, and Snow's falling regime. Given the cuts that had to be made for The Hunger Games to secure a 12A certificate in the UK, the biggest problem for Mockingjay is going to be how it can convey the brutal nature of the deaths. The story delves into some truly horrifying chase sequences and killings, with deformed muttations and traps commonplace. Done right, it could be a fitting end to a beautifully dark trilogy.
