Stop Moving The Camera

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2012)

The book was awesome. The movie followed the book fairly well, but had to tame down the violence to keep it in the PG-13 rating. Acting was actually pretty good. I do wish they would have started the movie off with a quick overview of why they have the hunger games, but that can be easily forgiven.
What CANNOT be forgiven is the feeling of seasickness I had because of the horrible camera work. Every scene was shot from what seemed to be a camera set on top of a bucking bronco. This made it not only difficult to understand what was happening in the scenes, but actually made me dizzy and I left the theater feeling like I just stepped off of a roller coaster.
