Technically the worst movie I have had the misfortune to view

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2012)

I was physically ill after more than two hours of watching this technically inept rendering of what should have been an incredible experience. I love the Hunger Games books and while the movie was a good adaptation and fairly true to the first book I could hardly look at the screen while the camera person shot it like a home movie. I understand that the Director is to blame and blame him I do. It is fine to include a couple of spots that show disorientation such as after the Tracker Jacker incident but this movie only included a couple of scenes where one could actually look at the screen. I really hate that the director ruined a perfectly good movie with this type of irresponsible filming. I cannot believe that he could sit in the movie and watch the results and not know that this would be difficult to watch visually. It had nothing to do with anything else in the movie. If this had not been so technically poor it would have been one of my highest rated movies. As it is, I will not watch the sequels if done by this director and will not purchase the DVD to have in my collection. What would be the point? I had to keep my eyes closed much of the time and listen to the movie because that roller coaster ride gave me a headache for hours after I got out. The actors were great and the scenery was incredible (when I could focus on it rather than being sick).
