The Hunger Games franchise is, for me a bit too like a Young Adults book - not quite young enough to take the ankle biters to see, and not quite adult enough to be genuinely gripping. Exactly like the Harry Potter movies therefore, a series that exasperates me just as much.The premise was fine - a select group of combatants are deposited inside a giant dome, where they're meant to fight to the death. Sounds all grown up? Nah, it wasn't.
And just like the first installment, this episode again ended with the equivalent of a car rocking on a a cliff edge - clumsily poised for yet another Hunger Games movie (and another after that). In the anticipation league, these are so unlike the Jason Bourne series, or even the Planet of the Apes for heaven's sake.
I'll have to remember to look up this review later this year, when the Hunger Games - Mockinjay Part 1 is rolled out.
