Not as enjoyable as the book. Quite disappointed.

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2013)

In my opinion, this film is not as good as the first one. The actors are marvelous. Jennifer Lawrence's performance is excellent. Believable, intense, with layers. I've read the books. It's written in first person, from Katniss's perspective only. The movie could develop the story from other people's angles, too. It has so much potential to explore from different perspectives. And it fails to do that. I will have to put the blame on the director. The arena scenes are very disappointing. Less excitement than the first movie. Overall, I am quite disappointed. The dialogue between Prim and Katniss in the trailer, which I liked very much, is partially edited out in the actual movie. You gave me a chance. To live. No. To do something.
