Dull & Boring, Shaky Camera Doesn't help!!

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2012)

To start off, I had never heard of or read the book/s, I just went to the movie because of the hype and all around good reviews (Not sure how the critics rate movies these days).
1 hour into the movie and I already felt like sleeping because there is no momentum at all, the narration is slow, the characters are boring and seriously whats up with that weird make up for the city folks.
Post Interval, with the start of the games, I was expecting some mindless action, intense battles and quest for survival kinda stuff, however, the movie disappoints to say the least.
There are supposed to be 24 tributes, not sure how 15+ tributes manage to die within the first 30 seconds of the start of the games, all you hear are the cannons, the camera is so shaky that you can't even figure out whats going on, who is killing who!! Whats left after the initial 30 seconds is a slow crawl towards the climax that stretches on for over an hour!! Tributes keep dying and all you get to hear are cannons, no battles, no fast paced action sequences and the supposedly strongest tributes die off too easily.
Overall the movie is just too slow and boring, go only if you are dying to see it after having read the book, but trust me you will be disappointed!!!
