Much ado about an okay movie...

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2012)

First, I have not read the book. I saw the movie last Monday night in Los Angeles at the World Premiere. The movie was just okay. It wasn't bad...it just wasn't something I would want to see again nor get excited about the sequels. The production values are good and I liked the acting. But seriously, even though I haven't read the book, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how it's going to end since sequels had been made/planned. I really did like Jennifer Lawrence it in and am amazed how she and the rest of the cast look nothing like their characters. I hope fans won't be disappointed. It did make me want to rent Battle Royale since the storyline sounds so similar. Maybe I'll like that movie better since it didn't have a sequel and might keep me more engaged.
