can't say I didn't try...

Rating: 2/10 (30 July 2018)

I recently watched all four movies in a row, after watching them separately over the years... just in case I was missing something by not investing in the famous story and the entire epic as a whole.
I now can't say I didn't try...
Drab and depressing, I found all four Hunger Games movies missing almost all elements to make it memorable, enjoyable, fun, exciting, clever or 'epic' in any way.
The concept from the get go made very little sense, the fictional world was not very well designed, and the rules of the universe weak and flimsy.
I liked some of the cast and have been fans of several for years, but each character was hollow with very little true motivation, and the arks of their characters rarely moved beyond their first introduction.
I actually lowered my stars scores after binge watching the series, because it seemed like a waste of time and the only thing it clearly indicated is, on my own personal scale '2 stars' means- "an ordinary movie that I don't want to and could not be easily convinced to ever watch again...".
Which I have now given all four films.
