Not worth seeing even if it was free.

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2012)

By far the absolute worst movie I have ever had the misfortune of enduring. If anyone disliked the slaughter of Avatar: The Last Airbender by M. Night Shamylan (or whatever), this was far worse.
Suzanne Collins wrote a beautiful and elegant tale with vivid details and thorough character development that were entirely disregarded when adapting this film. Vital plot points were not included whatsoever or were butchered beyond recognition for anyone that read the trilogy. For those who have not read the series, the movie will make absolutely no sense as none of the characters are introduced or even remotely developed beyond a very shallow puddle of what would even be considered acceptable for a protagonist or lead character.
Rushed, bad camera angles, horrible graphics, very poorly adapted, deviates dramatically from the novels, annihilates the possibility for a continuation, invalid sequencing of events, contains spoilers of the second and third books, unnecessary and ridiculous additions, no emotional or mental insight to ANY of the characters, and removes all significance or meaning from the story. This can hardly even be called "The Hunger Games" for how horridly the story was followed as the only aspects that remain intact are the characters' names.
This is a mockery of the series and deserves absolutely no praise for even a single minute of the entire two and a half hour film.
