I'd fight to the death... to make sure i never have to watch this again.

Rating: 1/10 (26 September 2012)

When my girlfriend told me she wanted to watch this, my heart sank... The Hunger games pinged up on my "looks rubbish" radar as soon as i saw it advertised on the TV, pre release, so when i had to sit down and watch it last night I wasn't looking forward to it at all. I tried my hardest to settle down and get involved in the movie but it's just god-awful. The plot is slow, the action is 'few' and far between and plot holes are huge and numerous and the general story is (I'd love to use a swear) terrible.
I'm not quite sure who they're trying to appeal to here either. Seems too violent to be for below 15-16 year olds and is too childish for above 13 year olds, doesn't make sense to me.
When i sat down to watch the Twilight films I dreaded it, but i actually ended up really enjoying them, so it's not just me being a miserable, negative, hater, this film is just rubbish.
So, if you're thinking of buying/renting it and are reading this... for the love of God, don't. If you're being forced to watch it by a relative, be it child, girlfriend, wife etc... Be prepared for a long, boring flight. I feel your pain.
Any positives? Yes, the end credits.
