Meh

Rating: 4/10 (22 November 2014)

The direction in this film is pretty solid, and the visuals are impressive.
Unfortunately it falls down in every other area. It's slow, boring, predictable and unbelievable. The reactions to Peeta are severely unconvincing. Seriously? In his situation that's precisely what would happen and everyone would understand that, but there has to be tension because of Teenage Drama (TM).
Yawn. It started off with a sub Battle Royale conflict and went downhill from there. The books aren't much better either, although the final ending is mildly amusing.
Go watch Maze Runner instead - it's a decent film, and an improvement over the books.
