Really???

Rating: 4/10 (26 March 2012)

If you suffer from vertigo, do not see this movie, if you don't suffer from vertigo, you will after seeing this movie. Come on Lionsgate, you had potential here, a good story then you screw it up with some sort of bad home made movie look and by watering it down to make it a PG-13 rating. Anyone who has read the book will be disappointed and anyone who hasn't read the book will only read it now to figure out just what the heck was going on. Too bad. But again, it's a Lionsgate, what did I expect? Here's just one example, everyone has exceptional killing skills but in the scene where Katniss is just sitting in the crook of a tree almost right at head level of the entire group of killers on the ground but they can't seem to hit her with anything. Now remember these are Top Shots, they can throw knifes from across a room a hit a flipping fly, but a human in a tree....way too hard. She's good! Moving on from the ridiculous, I can't go without mentioning the "over the top" costumes. It appears that the only one that got costuming time was Effie. The rest was a very weak attempt. Just because you put a large colorful flower in the hair of every one in Capitol City doesn't translate over indulgence and wealth. These people should have been shown in full body color and jewels, over eating and wasting resources really pigging them up like the book detailed. In conclusion, disappointment.
