I was forced to marathon them by a female. After the first one i was sitting there waiting for the second one to come on and i was thinking... "what the hell is the second one gonna be about??" Then i was like "oh you know what would be retarded? If they did like an all star rematch as an excuse for a plot." Then that exactly happened. 3/10 not a fan
The author herself couldn't even finish her awful, forced love triangle, and just ended it with one of the boys giving up and moving away. I assume the message is: if you act indecisive and never commit to anyone or any relationship. eventually all but one person will give up on you, so you never have to choose!
I read all 3 books out of spite, in less than a week, and hated them. Not because they were awful, per se, but because they had a lot of potential and then just devolved into teenage drama drivel.
The best thing to come out of the hunger games was the shop of J. Lawrance's nude with fire coming out of here ass and the catching fire logo in the background
I found it suffers from Harry Potter syndrome. Which is basically "Here's this vast world full of interesting **** , which we will show you none of. Instead, have these characters doing boring **** instead.". I hate that **** in movies. Wanna see giant robots fight? Have Megan Foxs' ass for half an hour instead. Wanna see mechs beat the **** out of monsters? Have an hour of less annoying Shinji trying to deal with his issues. And don't even get me started on Bryan Cranston: Featuring Godzilla.
However, Harry Potter is a kids' book and the rest had to do it, because CGI is expensive as **** . The Teen Romance Games had no ******* excuse. Especially splitting the last book into two. Yeah, sure, Harry Potter got away with it, so let's all do it.
To be fair, HP does show you a fair amount of dope stuff.
The Hunger Games don't because they don't have anything interesting, other than the Hunger Games, so the characters have to carry the entire weight of the movie, which they can't since they weren't written interesting enough.
Of course not, cause Catpiss is a self-insert character. She's meant to be bland and personality-less so anyone can immerse themselves in the story and pretend they're in the story, doing boring **** .
True, but atleast in HG the character is not a 110% ******* helpless loser. Katniss can actually kill **** , what's-her-face is basically a statue with less personality.
In the first movie, yes. In the rest, Catpiss is about as useful as Whatsherface. She just sits to the side while other people talk and occasionally tell her what to do.
I can't tell if the general opinion of hunger games was good or bad, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movies. I thought mockingjay part 1 and 2 were better than the book versions.
I've no idea. I always heard the books and movies were good but overrated? But then again people tend to really tear into stuff that's popular just for the sake of its popularity.
I didnt read the books or watch the movies because of the love triangle thing, same reason why I dont watch legend of korra. Also, why doesn't someone give her a rifle instead of a frigging bow?
I've read the books and watched the first movie.
The love triangle things was okay-ish, mainly because it played a part in the plot.
Katniss obviously wants to get it one with hunter-guy, but she's more or less forced to become a couple with baker-guy because of propaganda and because if she doesn't her family and baker's family are going to get killed.
As for the bow thing, during the hunger games, the bits with kids killing each other, there are no rifles. After that she basically becomes a propaganda figure head for the resistance and a bow is something she's famous for using. Also the romance was probably more of a focus than I remember, because I really didn't care for it.
The biggest glaring problem with the books and the movies is that Katniss's character is almost completely worthless in the third installment or 3rd/4th movies. Like honestly, she didn't have to be present in it at all and just about everything would have resulted the same way.
The second book/movie was just 1/2 romance/pdst crap with her talking to herself. 1/4th Interesting crap. 1/4th stupid ending I can only remember as the point where the plot took a wild turn.
The first movie/book was actually pretty decent. I liked it and it could have honestly been a good stand alone or they could have kicked off the revolution from there without wasting my time with the second.
Mockingjay was just bad. It was full of convenient plot holes, love triangle crap, events that didn't matter, and poor character development.
I am also working on a young-adult sci-fi novel and. I hope yours turns out well.
I guess I can feel that, but eh... Its 'the story of Katniss' and not 'a historical telling of the fall of the capital', so the ptsd and relationship stuff is contextually more important.
I see what you mean. I feel like the main character should remain a driving force in the plot until the end whereas Katniss often turns into a bystander rather than a driving character.
The PTSD stuff was an interesting addition but it didn't really add to the overall plot. The scenes that involve it are simply "there" rather than moving the story along.
The relationship stuff started to become annoying as it and her thoughts around it would often replace good character development and I just felt like it stalled the story at times.
You haven't known suffering until you've been in a relationship with someone who thinks that these types of movies are good and wants to watch them together on a regular basis.
