An Extremely Disappointing Film.

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2015)

The Hunger Games has been one of the most hyped up franchises from the last few years and i really cannot understand why it is.
The idea that characters are able to put their name in the raffle several times confuses me as it shows that characters are able to volunteer as tribute, so why do people not decide on who can volunteer earlier so more people can put their name in extra times and get more food. It can't be that everyone in district 12 is Malnourished to fight as characters like gale look like they are physically fit and do work out.
All the characters from the capitol are shown to be unrealistically evil as they all seem to enjoy the fact that they will be watching children (Even though most of them look like they are in their mid twenties) killing each other and none of them even try to hide it. In Battle Royale it makes sense why the government are making children kill each other as they are shown to be a small yet powerful dictatorship who are exercising their power over the common man and killing the people who try to get in their way, but as i said before the people in the hunger games are shown to just be doing it as they just enjoy it.
And while there are some good points in the film such as the social commentary (Even though that has been done in films before) none of them really can make me like the movie that much.
