hunger games

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2012)

i haven't read the book, and i am judging this solely on the movie i have watched. i had been watching this movie for only 10-15 minutes when i started comparing this movie to the running man with Arnold Schwarzenegger.and this feeling kept me through whole movie.and honestly i don't know about the book hunger games,haven't read it (but i heard it is great one to read)but i kind of liked Running man better. There are few points of the movie i don't really get - i'll try to be short- why are the fighters aged from 9-19 years old?why not,i don't know for instance 20-40,and how much chance does really a 9 year old have in this brutal-killing game?secondly when bunch of other contestants cornered up on the tree Katniss(girl from district 12)they couldn't come up with nothing else then camping under the tree?-i found that completely stupid. they also said in the beginning that a lot of contestants would die from starvation,dehydration etc.-they seemed quite good to me like they just had a cup of coffee and a sandwich.-finally the biggest problem i have with this movie is that nothing happens in the end-in the running man there is some kind of twist they actually do something about the show,rebel...here they just win it and that's it by the end of the movie i didn't care a bit if they would win or die.i give it 5 but only because first lest say 30-40 minutes were somewhat fine and i enjoyed a little watching them prepare for the games and because this movie reminded me of the running man ,i like the whole plot in the movie but that's it.
