Review of The Hunger Games (2012) by Drew D — 30 Jul 2014
Seemed to actually have some potential while watching the 1st hr /lead-up.. turned out to be a pretty bad movie with some ridiculous stuff that just didn't work (even with it being in the "fantasy/fiction" genre, which is saying a lot considering the leeway given in these types of movies' plots!).
Still, somewhat enjoyable to watch, despite all of the above, and the fact that the outcome is super predictable and the story is nothing new/creative/innovative. Jennifer Lawrence was fine in the role of Katniss, but man, you wanna talk about overrating a performance.
Nothing bad, but certainly nothing great! I hear the 2nd one was SIGNIFICANTLY better movie.. I'll watch it on blu ray at some point without anything crazy in the way of expectations.
