Better than the first but still nothing special, 6/10

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2014)

For some reason I enjoyed this movie a little more that the first one and I think it was because you know most off the characters by now. You'll hate some and love others. The pace in the first half is very slow compared to the second half in which it seams they rushed so many thing. It would have been a lot better if they slowed down the second part. The acting for most of the cast was alright but Jennifer Lawrence's acting was a lot worse than in the first movie, I hope she does better in the next THG. Throughout the movie a ton of errors are made (at one point she has 0 arrows left, few scenes later she has a dozen and in two movies I haven't seen her pickup one new arrow, she gets handed one by another Tribute). Katniss shooting at the sky was a WTF moment for me because the arrow could never reach that high, specially with a copper wire attached. I shouted why isn't she shooting at the wall 5m away, she apparently does that in the book. You got some pointers early on, on how things would end up. I wonder if this was intentional. It was an enjoyable movie but it felt too rushed and very much an in-between movie.
So I give it a 6/10, just like the first movie. And is it just me or is Peeta's character the most pathetic character ever? He always needs saving and never does anything right :/
