    Why people keep expecting these movies based on youth fiction novels to be of any interest to them I don't know.

    The First movie was pretty good. But I keep hearing bad reviews about this last one. >.>

    Hm it wasn't that bad ? Better than the first that blew my head off with the shaky cam...

    The only problem is the retarded cliffhanger but other than that it's not so bad.

    Read books... lots of fun to be had there.

    I've read some incredible blood and gore historical fiction books over the past few months. I'm into Vikings lately. Much more fun than teen angst movies.

    I will never know why a movie about kids killing each other isn't rated R. The book was mediocre. The whole fame of the series is based off it's "Strong" female character. I didn't feel like Katnis was strong. In my mind the whole point of good female characters is to make women look strong. In HG I got the opposite feeling. Katnis felt like a stupid teenage girl and I HATE stupid teenage girls. The whole series is predictable. If you want a strong female lead you should read the Enclave series. Deuce is perhaps the best female protagonist evar. Hunger Games gets a 4/10 for me. It is below average Eragon was better, ERAGON! And let's all be honest here Jenifer Lawrence does not look 14 she was just a dude magnet like Megan Fox.
