Hope the master tape 'Catches Fire'

Rating: 3/10 (15 February 2014)

I am completely at a loss to explain all the hype around this movie...teenage girls who like the heroine?
I gave it a 3 in order to recognise the reasonable sets and the alternative world where it takes place. However after reading dozens of other reviews on this website I am feeling overly generous (but won't go back on my original feeling).
The plot and dialogue are atrocious. The acting is OK but nothing worthy of any columns inches by critics. The first movie (I gave it a 7) concept was not developed at all. This was totally stale in every aspect. There was no thrill, no climax, no characters I associated with, nada, nothing, rien.
Congrats to the marketing machine that 'told us' this was great. After 30-40 mins I wanted to turn it off but somehow I thought it would get better...nope...it got worse.
Rant over....must find a decent movie to wash this out of my brain with....
