Ehh

Rating: 5/10 (9 May 2012)

I was really looking forward to this movie, really looking forward to it. I had no school the Friday it came out so I even went to see the midnight premiere in IMAX. I really liked the book and started reading knowing they were going to make the movie. I wanted the ending of the movie to not be ruined so I didn't read the last four chapters of the book. Then the movie started and everything I loved about the book, the action, the violence, the visuals were not matched in the movie. When they were around the cornucopia and the games started they did a shaky camera montage and I couldn't see a thing (cloverfield was less shaky and I love cloverfield). The movie just fell flat. I left the theater not feeling happy telling my friend ehh it could've been better. There was little character development and the movie seemed geared towards the money making twilight audience (as made very clear by the amount of people cheering at that lame excuse for a 20 second teaser.) This movie had some good moments even though I didn't focus on them, but I recommend to everyone to read the book and maybe pass on watching the movie
