How did this get 8.2 Battle Royal was better?

Rating: 4/10 (23 March 2012)

How this film got 8.2/10 is just plain awful. 5/10 at Best. Now all the people who have read this series will rave about it (obvious reasons). It was far too long for what actually happened in the film. I have never read this book series and I felt like there was a lot of plot missing. I have read so many user reviews and they say things like "action" and "excitement" but the only exciting thing happens 4/5 the way through. This film for someone who has not read the books is a huge let down. Sub par. Think Green Hornet as an equivalent. Try Battle Royal for a better version of this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/). Do not waste your time with Hunger Games. Just plain awful.
