No more shaky cam sure does help.

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2014)

Like the first movie, the pre-Hunger Games sections, in my opinion, are much better than the scenes in the arena. Here the pre-Hunger Games portion is outstanding! It goes through everything you wanted from the book and then some! I'm happy they took out the cheesy love portions from the book. The first half constantly kept me glued to my seat. ...and then the arena portions happened. Thank god for no more shaky cam! However, the conveniences, much like in the book, are horrible. For those of you who don't know what I"m talking about there is this fog that burns skin or gives you a bad rash or something. In other words, don't touch it or it'll kill you. Katniss's group runs away from the fog and then right as the fog catches up to them, the fog moves upward and disappears (they could just killed Katniss there but whatever). They then reach this pond RIGHT NEXT TO THEM and it heals them! *presses button "That was easy!" That annoyed me a lot, but the first half and climax were very well done and the acting as always is very good. I would be looking forward to Mockingjay Part 1 if I didn't hate the book so much.
