(Please note I have not read any of the books so the review is purely from a film prospective.)
The whole premise for this film is that 12-16 year old children brutally murder each other for a game... Hold on a second has humanity stumped so low that we're enjoying depictions of children killing each other as form of entertainment? I think Suzanne Collins and the filmmakers are actually mentally sick if they think this is something people would enjoy. I mean we all know children that age could you imagine them fighting to the death?
On top of this deplorable backdrop the plot of this film is truly terrible, it's as about as predictable as find snowing in the north pole.
Overall the film is just lost it can't decided whether it is a deep dark tale of humanity and society in a post apocalyptic future or a kids adventure movie.
The only positive thing about the film is Jennifer Lawrence's acting however it's a shame it was wasted in this atrocious film.
Definitely no need to waste time watching this 2/10 at a push.
