Review of The Hunger Games (2012) by Stefan G — 20 Jun 2014
The world doesn't need more sappy young adult films that encourage naivety, especially not if those films are as painful to watch as The Hunger Games. The plot made absolutely no sense, mainly because it starts off with a dystopian vibe, but halfway through the film, it turns into a sappy love story.
The characters were annoyingly stereotypical, so shallow that they could only appeal to an audience of undemanding teenagers (which I'm pretty sure is the film's target audience anyway). Sure, the film had plenty of massive, detailed set pieces, but all the special effects just seemed pointless.
All the money spent of the special effects and the props could easily have gone to making a better movie. I think what's really sad is that so money people fell for this movie at all. For me, it was just so awful that it ranks among the worst films I've ever seen.
