Running Man Meets Whoville!

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2013)

This is going to be a very short and to the point review!
It amazes me how low the powers that be will go to turn a fast buck (I'm English but assume that's the right phrase). Basically we have a movie about minors having the honour of killing each other! Murdering kids is now some form of entertainment?
My wife read the book and I happened to buy the DVD, not having a clue as to it's storyline, assuming she would like it. We watched it a week or so ago and I was appalled that the concept was deemed entertaining!
Devotees of the movie I'm sure will hide behind the fact it's fantasy....I for one do not fantasise about watching children kill each other!
I am not a prude, I enjoy movies such as Predator, most of the action genre and as another example thought the cartoon violence of The Expendable 1 & 2 entertaining.
If it were the other way around and the book was a bi-product of the movie then I'm sure it would remain on the shelves!!
