Hungry For A Real Movie

Rating: 3/10 (24 December 2013)

Let me start by saying that I wasn't to enthralled with the first movie but after it was given high praise by one of my co-workers I decided to give it a shot. I don't really know what to say...I thought it was terrible, terribly boring and a waste of time and money. It was basically the exact same movie as the first one albeit with a few subtle changes. I was completely and utterly bored for the first half of the film and completely and utterly bored during the second half although the reasons are different. The latter half was painfully boring because it was painfully predictable. I found myself passing the time by looking for continuity errors, they weren't difficult to spot. for example, there was a scene where Catniss used just about every arrow in her quiver. I made a comment to my date as soon as the fighting stopped....less than 30 seconds later, she had her full stock of arrows. A petty and expected thing for sure but a testament to how bored I was. Character development, you ask...there was none but there was CARICATURE development. I could go on but I could be writing about something more deserving. This movie was one of the worst films I've ever seen. I don't want to offend anyone but it felt like it was written for 12 year olds. I am truly baffled by the positive reviews I see on this site and others...makes me wish I could be a fly on the wall of some of these folks brain.
