The Hunger Games

All Ive heard for the past couple of months was the hype of the movie The Hunger Games, I was ancicipating a good day at the movies today, but was met with the dissapointing storyline. You step into a futureistic realm of a new world after a rebellious uprising. You have 12 sectors that people live in, each with its own class of people. You have the capital city where everybody seems to be numb to the fact of starving communities in the outskirts. Once a year the capital city holds the super bowl of sporting events called the hunger games. It seems to be an honor to be picked for these games, but in reality its all but certain death to 23 out of the 24 participants. Each year 24 people, (2 from each sector) come together in the capital city to enter a survival game to where there is only one goal, and that is to stay alive. You are to kill all of the other apponents and go home the victor. There is no clear prize for the winner and the games really seem pointless other than a pure humann desire to watch people die. There are no clear fight scenes, which is bad since the whole point of the movie was to fight to the death. The story takes a weird turn in the wrong direction as two of the participants from sector 12 realize their love for one another. The movie spins into mushy love fest and the action comes to a screetching halt. So now the goal was two people from sector 12 to finish the game together as they team up to conquor the other participants. The movie really didnt have a sence of direction and the story seemed to drag on with no clear ending. Once the game ended and the two lovers prevailed they merely went back to their povished communities with no prize and no reason for winning. The movie ended with you hanging there wondering what the heck just happened. To be honest I wouldnt waste my money going to see this movie, I would reccomend that you just wait and see it in the dollar movies. The movie didnt live up to the hype and if I were giving out grades I would give it a D.
