Feed your appetite elsewhere....and don't believe the hype.

Rating: 1/10 (9 February 2014)

I don't perceive myself to be a serious man. I don't recognise myself as a critic of any quality, or the words that I write to be of importance or relevance to anyone. But as a man of principle, I do have a duty to defend my own lowly intelligence by sounding my voice when I have been told something is of quality and substance when it clearly lacks anything resembling those attributes. So, this is my ''right to reply''...if only to defend the intelligence of everyone else and try and guide them away from the hunger games.(I can't even give it the respect of capital letters).
Yes...''beauty is in the eye of the beholder''...and ''each to their own'', etc,etc. But it must be a struggle for anyone to defend this monster. Had it been billed as a...farce...I might have had more respect for it. At best the only accurate quote I can think for it would be ''emperor's new clothes''.
I understand that the whole premise of this movie is that we are all puppets being manipulated by government, politics, greed, emotion, finance and religion. Whoopie-do!....If you want to know how that works, just watch the world news daily....it's far better written, scripted, directed and filmed...(except for Fox of course).
Don't allow the producers, the studio, the director or movie industry to manipulate you into watching this poor show...otherwise you've just become part of 'the games' , and you loose. Alternatively, don't let my review manipulate you in to not watching it either...(ah-ha! As if I had such influence!). However, I'll leave you with this question: When was the last time you saw Donald Sutherland or Woody Harrelson in anything of quality?
If only there was a 'zero' button on the vote counter. I was going to click the 'spoilers' tab...but that would pretty much cover the whole movie.
I think Colonel Kurtz said it best.....''The horror, the horror''.
