Makes for an average movie if you haven't read the book.

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2014)

As 'scorpeeo' so rightly puts it, you have to read the book in order to appreciate the movie. That being said, I didn't care one bit if any character lived or die mainly because I didn't read the book. The main problem with the movie is that the director did not take enough time to create characters the we could care for. The movie does not live up to the hype of the first one, and being a movie of blockbuster status, it should appeal to all audiences and not just the fans who read all the books.I hope the decision to split the final book into two films will help us understand fully about the revolution and the role Katniss plays in it, and increase our interest in the main characters.
