Didn't Satisfy My Hunger For Memorable Cinema

Rating: 4/10 (13 September 2012)

I heard a lot about THG since it's one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2012 . So anticipated that my only motive to watch it was the hype surrounding the movie . Some people have the principal that the more the movie is hyped they want to watch the movie in question . Perhaps I should join that camp ?
It's not a bad movie but it has TVM production values written all over it . Nothing about it is outstanding and nothing about it is involving either . A chick stuck in the wilds fighting for her life would make a fair premise for a TVM and director Gary Ross gives the impression that he has made something for television . Perhaps the worst aspect is how inoffensive the action scenes involving killing are . In short it's a chick flick for teenage girls who enjoyed the book
