Twilight Games

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2014)

I really don't see how this movie has a good rating to begin with. I guess the studios are like the capitol in the movie. They probably paid off the critics. I was lucky enough to wait til it was available to rent. I really enjoyed the first hunger games because it kind of felt like the novel 1984. Catching fire switched more to a twilight love issue between Peeta and Gale. First Katiness wants to run off with Gale, but he refuses because he wants to join the revolution. Then she starts falling in love with Peeta during the Games (Woohoo, another twilight!).
Jennifer Lawrence's performance was terrible during the whole movie. It seems she cannot display the right facial emotion. I was getting annoyed the entire time she tried to make a sad face. Josh Hutcherson on the other hand displayed great acting and did pretty good with a terrible script (this kid has a bright acting career ahead of him after the Twilight Games). During the games we don't have a chance to have a connection with the other Tributes at all. I just kept finding myself thinking "Oh the old lady died" or "Guy 2 just died from arrow shot".
At the end Peeta just disappears out of near. We never find out why he ran away, but that he was caught by the president. Wow, the writers waste all this movie time with worthless scenes, but they can't add this in? If you're looking for a Hunger games like the first one. Then you're going to be disappointed. If you're a twelve year old girl who enjoys wanting to know if Katiness is going to be with Peeta or Gale. Then this movie is for you, but you'll have to wait for the third one to find out.
Twilight Games makes for a great movie to make you fall asleep though.
