They fell short, way short. I was very bored, laughed a bit, that was it.

Rating: 5/10 (6 December 2013)

Let me say before I review this movie, that I did not read the books. I went into this movie as a moviegoer hoping that I would be pleased by the films adaptation onto the big screen. I loved the first movie, it was great and well done, but I am highly disappointed by this sequel. Of course, the acting was great, but the movie itself, was very boring and stretched out. I could care less if it is like the book or not, since I did not read. It had some funny parts in this movie but that was the only thing that caught my eye. There is pretty much 40-50 useless minutes at the beginning of the film before they even start the games. They use cheesiness throughout the film which makes it laughable and unbearable. Don't get me wrong, I went into this film expecting very highly of the film and was very disappointed. I went in believe what the "fan girls" of the movie said. They said it was "the best movie ever!!" or "very awesome!". Overall, don't waste your money seeing it in theaters. Wait until you can rent it at home or even watch it on television. It is not a must see movie as people suggest. Also, I only paid 3 dollars for my movie ticket to see this, so that is saying something. I probably won't even buy this on Blu-Ray even though I have the first one on a three disc special edition Blu-Ray.
