Since the second has a new director, I might give it a try if initial reviews from intelligent critics are better.
I'm glad they got rid of that guy.
You know what needs to happen? HBO needs to create three movies for the series. If they could pull off the casting like all of those involved for Game of Thrones, that would be one hell of a production.
I knew that I was going to hate the movie. I convinced myself to see it at midnight, and somehow just somehow managed not to kill every 13 yearold there wearing a "team gale / peeta" shirt.
The PG-13 rating is what ruins me. It's what immediately tells me that the production / writers/ directors are pandering to corporate / shareholder pressure to appeal to that ridiculous demographic for absolute maximum viewership at the cost of staying true to the original books.
Part of what made the books so great, to me at least were the horrific images it made you imagine. The grand vista's to the tracker jacker trip, Capitol city, the FREAKING MUTA'S, bah.
But what we got was a PG-13 branded watered down edgy romantic movie. None of the deaths were portrayed as provocatively as they were in the books. None of the crucial scenes were depicted.
I once reviewed it while playing TERA, and someone recorded it when I had no idea he did. I laugh about it every freaking time.
