Hollywood strikes again.

Rating: 2/10 (29 March 2012)

Yet another Hollywood boy meets girl, changes the world, explosions happen and everyone lives forever. How the novel Hunger Games isn't plagiarism in the first place is unbelievable since it is a direct rip of the plot of Battle Royale. I wasn't expecting much, the movie didn't deliver much and we all went home. Please don't skip this movie because of my review, instead, go watch Battle Royale then watch Hunger Games. If I can spark an interest in foreign cinema in you then I'm happy. I gave it a 2 because although it did have some redeeming qualities as a stand alone movie, it is not it's own movie, it's Battle Royale meets love story meets Hollywood CG and happy ending. Therefore, although it has all the shiny bits you'd expect from a big budget feature, it is still an unredeemable pile of dog "prohibited word'.
