Hunger Games was excellent.
We've already had this discussion via twitter, but it wasn't. It sucked. It was so slow. I also didn't like how the director decided on using a technique where the camera was constantly bouncing around. I wish there was more time spent during the actual games themselves.
I did, however, like the twist at the end to set up part 3.
I like the universe the films (and books, obv) are set in.
But I also saw one reviewer who sums it up nicely: "A retread of a tale that's The Running Man meets Lord of the Flies with a dash of Twilight for tween-adoring measure." lol
But, as I said on twitter, everyone else seems to love it. What did I miss?
