Decent show

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2012)

Recently I was having a hard time finding a decent one-night show. While Hunger Games is definitely not great, it delivers.
I haven't read the books, but I read the reviews of those who actually did so after watching the movie I have a pretty good idea why they hate it. Not to mention for those who saw battle Royale this movie will feel like a complete ripoff.
The atmosphere is good, the acting is so-so, the only two characters I really did like were Woody Harrelson and Stanley Tucci. Jennifer Lawrence had her moments too, but definitely has a long way to go as an actress.
I consider myself lucky, because for me this movie was like an appetizer and very likely will read the books. A solid 6/10.
