Ratings and reviews

when i first saw this movie, i tjought it was okei... but when i read the bookand then watch the movie again, it feels like i am watching movie similar to the book, not based on the book. theres a lot of scenes that they changed and scenes that they didnt include. the worst part of it is its freezing and i keep getting a wheezing sound. all in all i wish i didnt watched it again or maybe i wished ididnt read the book so i never had too much expectation. i cant say i wasted my money, coz i did bought it.

This movie has very little character development and does not reflect the characters in the book. The acting is not believable, and the love story between Katniss and Peeta is non-existent, no chemistry whatsoever. The plot is weak and many key points are missing to make the movie make sense, which waters down all the important themes in the original story. This is a movie without context and fails to represent the real story. Don't bother, just pick up the books instead.

I actually forced myself to sit through this whole movie, I'm not a prude or uptight I actually enjoyed the expendables 2. This show however did nothing for me, to actually rate a movie high to watch kids kill kids is just simply messed up and the writer needs a head check not to mention it has no story line just kill or die.
