Understand the movie before panning it

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2013)

Most of the people giving this movie low reviews missed the whole point of the movie.
The first movie was an action-adventure movie.
This movie is a political thriller with an action-adventure back-drop.
The point of the movie is not the Games. The point of the movie is the political machine that needs the Games, and why they need the Games, and how the people are reacting to the Games. The point of the movie is the battle between Fear and Hope, and whether they defeat each other of support each other. The point of the movie is a little girl who, no matter how hard she tries not to, can't help but sow the seeds of a nationwide revolution. The point of the movie is a government that did not learn the lessons of the Treaty of Versailles, or even of the 1964 Civil Right movement.
