Action for teen morons

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2012)

I can't decide which are more contrived and dishonest; the authorities conducting the Hunger Games within the film, or the authorities who made this film! I see little difference between the moronic Sector 1 audience in the film and the mentality of those who are fans of the film itself; both have been duped into obsessing over a contrived, shallow, sick story premise and an event that makes no sense from beginning to end.
First, the whole story premise is sick, and does not provide any sane justification for a rebel movement to sign a truce. If any real rebellion were offered the hunger games as terms of surrender, they would simply go on fighting to the last person rather than submit to such a monstrous compromise.
Second, if the event is really a fight to the death with only one victor, alliances are patently ridiculous, since this is not a season of the Survivor TV show where one person gets voted off and another gets immunity at the end of each episode; here all you have to do is quickly kill any of your fellow tributes when their back is turned, so there is no sane reason for any alliances. It would have to be every tribute for himself, exclusively.
Third, it is completely unrealistic to have the two victors at the end win without ever having actually killed anyone! How stupid! You could never finish such an event without having to kill at least one or two people on your own! When it's kill or be killed, you can't just hide until everyone else is dead and then claim victory. Once again, this is not Survivor! It's a fight to the death, not hide and seek!
But now all the shallow Sector 1 morons that liked this movie will be panting for the next one. They deserve to be put into the hunger games and experience it for themselves, thus ridding the world of a little more of it's ponderous moronic burden.
