Camera work annoys the eye

Rating: 5/10 (10 May 2012)

I was expecting quite a movie. This whole concept of making a mortal game has been an exciting idea for me. Yet, it looked like a kid movie, in which all the necessary elements for this kind of a concept were eliminated. To me, it is normal to expect seeing some breath-taking gore and profanity, if the movie is grounded on a death game.
Still, the movie was watchable for the plot's sake, nonetheless the camera-work kicked in and ruined the joy. I don't know if they wanted to try out some new style or something but I found it rather annoying. The angle changed so sharply. And the first person takes, which took place quite a few times, almost made me feel dizzy. For instance at the part, where Katniss and the blade girl( i called her that way) were fighting, it was almost impossible to tell who was who.
For the next movies to come, I hope the producers will improves these downsides and will not try to hide the gore. I mean it's like selling drugs as M&Ms. The idea is violent yet it was presented like it were cute.
