Almost complete disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (7 April 2012)

I was very disappointed with the movie. Having not read the books I do not know if the film follows the key moments in them. However my frustration grew more and more as the movie progressed as it was very illogical. For example the scene where the group had installed mines around and as it seemed under their food supplies. That seems ridiculous why would they place them in such way that if they blow up they would destroy the same thing they are protecting. Also when Katniss climbed a tree to escape the group why couldn't they just shoot her with an arrow - she didn't have much place to maneuver so it wouldn't seem as a difficult target. The film is filled with such moments. Furthermore the character development is really poor. The relationship between Katniss and Peeta came out of nowhere and Gale's appearance was pointless. The ending also did not seem legit. Overall a bad movie.
