Give it a chance. It's actually really good.

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2016)

Many people call this a rip-off of The Hunger Games and complain about it all the time. But hey, The Hunger Games is a rip-off of Battle Royale, so what? It's still pretty good. And is this good? Yes.
This movie has more haters than it deserves. It may be long, but it's still fun. The story is OK but nothing outstandingly original. But it's still pretty interesting. The acting is decent. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad. Miles Teller is probably the best in his role. I'm not a huge fan of the books. The first book is the only one I really liked, the second one was decent, but the third one was a mess. And that spin-off about Four's character wasn't anything special either, but I really like the first book and I really like this movie. It's a pretty faithful adaptation and those who liked the book will be satisfied, I can guarantee it. It's very well done and it doesn't have that much of The Hunger Games vibe because it's less depressing and doesn't take itself so seriously, which is probably a good thing in this case. And one more good thing about it, the ending of the book isn't changed a lot but it's made to feel more complete and not a cliffhanger because that would be bad if the movie was a flop.
This movie may get a lot of hate, but it's actually a really good movie. Is it a masterpiece? No. Not at all. But is it fun? Hell yeah! If you were planning to watch this movie, do it, it's not incredible but you won't waste your time.
