Could have been Great

Rating: 5/10 (24 March 2012)

Could have been great, should have been at least good, but some gaping plot holes (how did they magic those dog things out of thin air towards the end?) and unrealistic sequences (If you had Katniss surrounded up a tree and were armed to the teeth while she had no weapons, would you all just give up and wait for her to come down, then all fall asleep) and "Convenient" triggers (wasp things) turned it just less than average in my opinion.
Not a lot of character development, and too much shaky camera.
I have not read the books, but I do read a lot, and I am a firm believer that with popular books they should stick to the original story lines more, and stop mucking about with the plot - films like "The Green Mile" is a classic example of how good a film can be when this is done correctly.
Disappointed
