Had low expectation

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2012)

NOTE: I did not read the book. I went in open-minded.
I enjoyed the movie, but there was lots of flaws.
The shaky camera was a distraction, but i assume the director planned it that way to distract from the gruesome killing or else we won't be watching a pg-13 film.
Almost every character felted underdeveloped. Maybe cuz there were too many characters to begin with. If I know more about their background I would've felt more remorse at the scene of their death.
The first half of the film was interesting but the second half felt rushed. I know it's already stretching at 2 1/2 hours but it just felt incomplete. I could use more explanations and more action.
The flow was inconsistent. Like others were saying, it's like clips pieced together instead of an actual movie.
Overall, I didn't regret watching the Hunger Games but i don't know if i will watch the next one in theater.
