Boring, over-long, slow and annoying.

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2013)

Firstly, I am neither a teenager nor a girl; so I don't fit the target demographic. Never-the-less, I was hoping to be entertained.
Sequels tend be by nature an extension of the original and many fail to live up to expectations, and this film fails 'Big-Time'. If you've seen the trailer then you've seen everything except the boring bits.
Sequels also tend to be a money-grabbing enterprise to repay those who took a chance on the first outing.
Sadly this woeful, boring and extremely slow disaster will make money purely because it's the next instalment of what could be a great franchise.
Unfortunately there is far too much crying, hugging and the amount of times the name 'Peter' is mentioned in almost every scene becomes excruciatingly annoying.
As for the 'games' these last for all of 15 minutes of a 2hr movie, and is so undeniably dull. I started to hope they would all die, just so there wouldn't be the inevitable third part.
As for the 'plot' it's the same as the original only shorter and less interesting.
The only saving grace is Donald Sutherland who is deliciously 'evil' and steals every scene. This would be a complete train wreck without him, this is the only reason I have given a 2 star rating.
btw
That noise you can hear whilst you're in the cinema, is the world going by while you're wasting your time on this drivel.
You have been warned....
