So Much Negativity

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2012)

Wow, there seems to be an influx of negativity towards the way the producers of this movie portrayed the book. I can't help but feel as if the majority of the people who take their time to write such deterring reviews for The Hunger Games might be influenced by peer pressure. There were so many people out there with bad reviews for the movie that it almost seems as if they wanted the movie to fail so that they could slam down some pretty harsh insults on the lack of the character's emotional depth and how it wasn't violent enough.
I thought the producers showed excellent work with the cinematography (especially the shaky camera feeling) because it made the audience feel immersed in the desperation and fear the tributes experience from the Hunger Games. Now I know that any popular movies that have received great reviews will also receive negative reviews, but if you honestly feel like the movie was a waste of cinematography, then watch the Academy Awards next year and see how people with a professional opinion feel about it.
The movie was absolutely fantastic and I believe that about 90% of the people who went to see it would agree with me.As for it being a huge waste of money and time as mentioned by arunspurs, well look at the amount of money it made in less than a month. Movies like these do not simply make 300 million dollars because the books were so famous, the movies actually have to be pleasant and entertained enough for people to see. I don't what it is with all of these negative reviews, but at least I can take comfort in knowing that there is at least one person out there who wasn't unreasonably critical of the movie. The only thing I found out from reading all of these reviews is that there are tons of people who either feel good about writing bad reviews or they simply cannot appreciate a good film with incredible depth and emotional movement.
