I’m not going to waste your time convincing you to see “The Hunger Games” Mockingjay - Part 2.”

If you’re a fan, you’ve probaby seen the final installment of the series based on the young adult novels, the “Hunger Games” trilogy by Suzanne Collins, best-known before creating the most preposterously named characters in fiction as writer of the “Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!” children’s television series (2008 - ’09).

If you’re not a fan, you’re not missing anything.

The first installment (“The Hunger Games,” 2012), had its moments despite the deeply cynical and despicable premise whereby teens kill each other for televised entertainment and propaganda. The finale is thin on material and padded out to make it a fans’ must-see. As with much of contemporary cinema, “Hunger Games” is violence porn.

The chief reason for see “Hunger Games” is Jennifer Lawrence as protagonist and arch archer Katniss Everdeen. Lawrence’s impassive face creates an interior life that leaves a lot to the viewer’s imagination. When she’s on screen, “Hunger Games” is watchable.

Other actors worth noting: ever-debonair Donald Sutherland as President Snow, “kindly” dictator of the Capitol central government; Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, in his best Tom Petty wig and sneer; Julianne Moore, haughtily regal as Alma Coin, opposition leader; Elizabeth Banks, silly as Effie Trinket, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, stoically cynical as Plutarch Heavensbee, rebellion strategist. Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark and Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne function mainly as eye candy.

The big battle scenes are when the rebels enter the Capitol and when they are at Snow’s mansion gates.

Director Francis Lawrence (“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” 2013; “The Hunger Games” Mockingjay - Part 1.” 2014) and the screenplay by Peter Craig and Danny Strong (“The Hunger Games” Mockingjay - Part 1, 2”), with the adaption by Suzanne Collins based on her novels, spends an inordinant amount of time in what appears to be a city storm sewer system, with an attack by zombie-like creatures, and what resembles the boarding area of the New York Port Authority bus terminal.

This leads to an inevitable and welcome conclusion: No more “Hunger Games” to baist the Thanksgiving holiday box ofifice weekend. We’ve had plenty of turkey. We don’t need more leftovers.
