Serious Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (1 April 2012)

From the start of the movie to the end they never built a single character. The building of plot, characters and action are mediocre at best.
1.A friend in the beginning has no bearing on the movie whatsoever but he arrives and gives advice. 2. The training for the games is horrible, no other characters are built during this process. 3. Signals for deaths in the game are random at best and never consistent. The mine explosion from shooting the apples was laughable and would have caused a hearing loss yet she can hear Rues whisper but not the cannons??? 4. Once in the games they start and a lot are killed only to see a pack of five running together. Three of which run at the start but somehow get teamed up. 5. They change YEARS of tradition in one sentence in the middle of the games that gives other players a huge advantage as some are dead and would not have a partner left from their zone. 6. Sponsors for the game are never seen or announced yet she gets help form them only at the times to change the outcome of the game. 7. Mocking birds used as a signal for Rue are a joke. Many other sounds are happening why are the birds not changing to those sounds? 8. A Love story emerges with absolutely no building of that huge plot point in the movie. 9. She cannot hit a running deer though somehow is capable of hitting a bird in flight.
There is so much more to type but this is already long enough. I was very disappointed in this movie. Wait for the DVD it is not worth your money.
