Well... not an adult movie but somehow entertaining

Rating: 2/10 (23 March 2012)

First of all my expectations regarding this movie weren't that high but when a few days ago Eli Roth said that "this shouldn't be a PG13 movie" I thought that maybe this could be one of the classics. I'm not a kid not a teenager. I've passed my 30's and I do not find Twilight very amusing. But I do find a movie called "Battle Royale" very very good. It's useless to say that this movie isn't inspired on both movies... It is. But personally "The Hunger Games" to be a great movie it should have left the soapy and all smoothness aside. This is a good story (a little Battle Royalish - I can accept that - but this is a movie that I could have seen any given Sunday afternoon then recovering from a hangover. It lacks of violence (true violence) just like a movie like that should have. And right, in a s(h)ituation like that and a boy and girl fall in love... riiiight. It's all a little forced. The CGI weren't that good. I didn't enjoyed anything the final part of the movie with the "DOGS????" running after them. Seemed like it was forced and that there were no budget left for the final. Well you can't expect to have a dark and violent movie and being a PG13 for kids and teens. When I read that "the expendables II" is going to be a PG13 the first thing I said was "here comes another kiddy movie"... Same thing with this one. But hey... I didn't read the books, I was there for the movie and although it was an interesting movie, I don't think it's something new nor I want it to review it later like I did for example with Battle Royale, Watchmen, 300, Sin City, Hostel, Inglorious Basterds or move recently Drive. 6/10 for me and... should be lower!
