If you are sure you are gonna watch it, your only leverage would be Jennifer Lawrence!!!

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 2012)

I thought reading the book, would be too time consuming, and hence resorted to the movie. Bad decision!!
This was the only reason i put up the spoiler alert. The MoC in the movie was downright IRRITATING!! Otherwise, the movie was very ordinary. There was nothing which lured you into the world of the hunger games.
Sometimes the movie was very slow, although i loved the parts where the sound would dim, showing the perplexed state of the situation.
Coming to the makeup, god was it yuck. All pink, magenta, purple, in their brightest variants. The leads were saved, of course, which was a refreshment. The CG part was also lacking in updates. It was too Bruce Willis "Fifth element" kind of a thing, which did not suit the film at all. The editing could have had more refinement, some scenes were almost abrupt.
Storywise, i cant comment much, because i dint read the book. But, i got what the story was from the movie, and it was boring. Screenplay, actually lacked the thrills that the Bestseller by Suzanne Collins, was touted to deliver.
The only big positive in the movie for me was, the heroine, Jennifer Lawrence. She was no doubt really cute, but the way she carried herself in the movie was breathtaking. Not glamour, not her chubby cheeks, but only her freaking acting!!
P.S: Jennifer Lawrence is my favourite heroine from now on!!
