good enough

Rating: 4/10 (8 July 2015)

The second movie of the Hunger Games series finds Katniss yet again on the battle field, this time fighting other victores of the games. The film started well enough, with the presence of power and the fear of the revolution being introduced as the main idea, even though the protagonist resist it as long as it takes. And that resistance leads to too many proof that the Capitol is rotten and needs to be brought down. The love triangle between Katniss and the two boys is meaningless, even though it becomes stronger and stronger towards the end. You can easily guess of course what it will happen next, and even the secret role of some of the characters in the film is quite obvious. The second Hunger game battle is like wanting to repeat something that it was very successful and might be revised. However I don't know how much blame can be set on the movie for following the book's story line. The performances were good and the special effects as well as the costumes were excellent. And so I give this movie a 4 out of 10, because the feeling of deja vu was there the whole time.
