Its one thing to bomb, its another to bomb next to the fucking third Trolls movie.
The Hunger Games is a VASTLY overrated series, both book and movies.
The first book was quite good. But the second and third were just progressively worse.
Honestly, I preferred when it was called "Battle Royale".
Reject Modernideen.
Embrace BR and Lord of the Flies.
I preferred when it was called Running Man
Ironically, Stephen King's book was awful.
The seed of what would become the Battle Royale craze was there, but it was so poorly depicted that it's easy to forget that it laid the groundwork all those years ago
The movie with Arnold did wonders to really bring that world to life in a visual way that far exceeded King's limited portrayal and descriptions of the dystopia.
never read it, cant stand Stephen King, but the movie was great
I only saw the first movie and thought wow, what a horrible piece of garbage. The classic problem of female authors: passive protagonist.
The only thing Katniss does that shows any initiative is take her sister's place. That's it. She is a total charisma vacuum, she spends the rest of the movie hiding and running away, and when it comes down to the finale instead of doing something interesting and killing her friend, she does the most passive-aggressive stupid teen girl thing ever: threatens to kill herself, and it works for some reason.
It's completely retarded "there has to be a winner" umm no, having the last survivors kill themselves is a perfectly fine ending that ties up the event nicely. The evil government just gives both provinces food and there's no living survivors to lead a movement against you. Duh.
Horrible, stupid, unwatchable trash.
The movie people asked her to write another book just so they could adapt it.
I remember being so mad when the third book didn't leave the protagonist as a broken husk of a person and somehow pulled a happy ending out of its ass at the last moment instead of playing things out to their logical and depressing conclusion. However I don't even remember what happened so they certainly weren't memorable.
She was a depressed shut in that barley ate and didn’t bath for weeks. Then she goes outside and sees peta. She does the female thing of trying to play with her hair only for her hand to get stuck because of how filthy she was. I remember it because the visual is hilarious to me.
I thought the first book was just boring. I had started it, read half way and just forgot about it for years.
I wonder if tranny fashion in the Capital even exists in this version, let alone as a negative portrayal
The book this new Hunger Games is based on was actually pretty solid, it is worth a read for anyone interested.
I feel like the YA novel-to-movie thing died forever ago, this movie feels like it would have came out 10 years ago.
Personally, I skipped this movie because of main actress and the trannie.
I enjoyed the book too. It is not at all woke or obnoxious.
The basic message of The Hunger Games is pretty great. Person fighting against powerful central government that rules with an iron fist and tightly controls what its people see nd know by keeping them entertained with degenerate bloodsports. Without getting into spoilers, all governments suck and become tyrannical, and it's up to individuals to fight for freedom.
I didn't know about this movie, but I am 100% skipping anything with that actress as the lead.
The last show I enjoyed got canceled because the last ten minutes cost so much in special effects. At a cliffhanger. At least books have HEA, or cliffhanger warnings. I'll just stick to books.
I didn't even know there was a second Trolls movie.
They tried to blame it on super hero fatigue, Star Wars fatigue, and now (probably) YA fatigue. But yeah, the truth is feminism and minority fatigue.
the franchise/genre fatigues are real, but they came after nigger girl boss fatigues
There was a hunger games 3? .. There was a TWO? I thought this piece of shit melted after the first movie was so fucking terrible.
Three books. Not that good. Special FX carried the movie. It was another YA book series to be movied.
Snow white actress needs every movie to bomb.
Is that fish-girl?
