When I reviewed The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part I, I made a grievous error: I described it as the franchise's Empire Strikes Back. What I meant was that literally nothing good happened in that plodding gray film, despite the best efforts of Jennifer Lawrence and the Fellowship of the Ring—not that it was the best.
Now that I've seen The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part II, I can affirm that, no, actually Catching Fire is the Hunger Games' Empire Strikes Back, because everything that came after it is just slightly more mediocre.
