Not good enough

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2014)

This is the second movie of The Hunger Games trilogy, directed by Francis Lawrence and written by Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt. It was released last year in the USA as an action, adventure, sci-fi, thriller genre mix. The plot involves a post-apocalyptic world where there are 13 districts. The principal one is the first which rules the rest of the districts with an iron fist, and to avoid the threat of revolution there are televised games in which kids and teenagers (12 to 18 years old) fight each other to death.
Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) won the last game and know they have to visit all districts, but some of the districts are starting a revolution because they see hope in Katniss. But to suppress the hopes of the districts, The Capital changes the game by placing all the Hunger Games winners to battle to death. The action and the direction still good as the first movie; Katniss is even more beautiful and bold. But the movie may be disappointing to some viewers even more after seeing the trailer. I felt there was a lot of information about the little details but very little information about the other districts and the revolution, which in my view were the focus of the movie. Overall the movie is quite predictable and vague, I hope that the third part can surprise and refill the missing gaps.
