cozmeesah Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The best part is the most forced romance since Attack of the Clones.That was entirely the point. It should have looked forced because it WAS. Katniss knew she had to play the part for the cameras. Remember what Haymitch told her after Peeta said that at the interview and she was pissed off? It's a television show and being "in love" with that boy just may save her life. Hence the "you call that a kiss?" note that came with the soup he sent them in the arena.Seriously, there are legitimate beefs to have with the film and I'm not going to attack people's criticisms if they are totally subjective (like overall story, acting, directing, etc.) People like what they like and don't like what they don't like. But I can't help but feel that some things y'all are attacking just because you didn't pay enough attention. It's not like it was rocket science or super complicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I thought the Hunger Games was a good movie. I have never read the books but was able to follow along without a problem. I think the first half was the strongest and the forest/woods scenes were not as intense as they could have been. But all in all it was well acted and was just fine for a first entry in a trilogy.B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 For me, this ranks as a good entry into what I call trash cinema. It won't be remembered in years to come, it'll never be defined as a classic, but it's light entertainment for a couple of hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmav45 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) LMAO @ anyone who thinks this measures up in any way to Battle Royale. The idea behind this happened a decade before The Hunger Games. Nothing like turning dark and unflinching material into another emo-teen hipster flick, IMO. It's an average film, but easily among the most overrated of 2012. Edited February 22, 2013 by mattmav45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 THG gets much worse with a second viewing, the flaws are more noticiable. - the handshake cam gets more annoying than ever - the director failed in extract good performances, the only exceptions were Stanley Tucci and Elizabeth Banks - the most bland soundtrack in years for a blockbuster - some terrible lines - lack of strong emotion the one to blame is the director, who behaves as an amateur my last rating was B/B+ (8/10) now is C+/B- (6.5/10) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
