Since "The Hunger Games" seems to have been pretty well received, I'm going to be going out on a limb here, but I just didn't care for it. I'll confess that I haven't read the book. Apparently some consider it a rip-off of a movie called "Battle Royale. which I haven't seen. So I really didn't have any pre-conceived notions about this going in. I watched it because I had heard a lot of people liked it. So much for popular opinion.
I came out of this feeling as if I had just been subjected to almost two and a half hours of "Survivor: Extreme." In this case, it would be extreme because there's really only one survivor. In some future nightmare world, a government uses The Hunger Games as a punishment for a long ago uprising. Every year each of 12 Districts that rebelled has to send two young people (one male and one female) to do battle with one another and form alliances and kill each other off until only one is left. Meanwhile, this has become this society's version of reality TV, as the whole thing is televised, and the "tributes" the young people in the battle) are interviewed. I suppose if you think about it, it's not actually a bad social commentary about our own society which gets so fixated on the drivel of our own reality TV. But I didn't find it entertaining. Somehow, watching a bunch of teenagers trying to kill each other didn't appeal to me all that much. There's also the fact that I really didn't care that much for any of the characters. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is a bit sympathetic, especially as she tends to young Rue (Amandla Stenberg. and certainly, Katniss and Peeta Josh Hutcherson) are the only two characters (aside from Rue) that you really could root for, but I still didn't feel much for them.
I honestly didn't know what to expect coming into this. I had no idea what the movie was about. In the end, I can't say that watching this was a highlight for me. (3/10.

 

 

In a similar way to the film Hanna I reviewed a while ago, this is a film that starts off with a lot of promise, and looks like it could be a classic.
Sadly, as the film progresses, you find that it is nothing but an anti-climatic, boring film, where every move is predictable before hand, and offers no new unique perspective. The easiest way to describe it is 45 minutes of boring mythology build up, then 'Predators.
I was so disappointed in seeing this film - the only thing that enlightened it for me was the rate at which the audience laughed during the course of it.
Very poor dialogue, poor acting, and unbelievably predictable. For something that purports to be one of the highest ever opening weekend takes, I expected an awful lot more.
