I expected a lot more

Rating: 6/10 (29 September 2015)

When I was reading the Hungergames trilogy, the second book became my absolute favorite due to the amazing characters that were introduced to us. So it's easy to understand that I was really looking forward to the movie.
Even though the movie was okay and the acting was even improved a bit since the first movie, I couldn't shake off the feeling that they left out a big part of the story line. Of course, it's understandable that you have to leave some things out since there's not enough time in one movie to film it all. But I can't agree with the fact that the whole 'back-to-district-12' part took about 2/3th of the movie.
I disagree even more with the fact that they are filming the last movie in two parts. Why haven't they done that with book two? The second book has so much more content to work with then the third.
I really loved the idea of the arena of the second book and I'm disappointed in the amount of what was shown in the movie.
However, the movie was still pretty nice and entertaining and the effects were again spot-on. But it's a shame that they did show most of the boring parts of the book in the movie while there are so much awesome scenes in it that seem to be forgotten or are shortened.
