Re: Hunger Games
I personally found the original Japanese movie didn't live up to the hype. Partially because the children acted like adults or how adults think children will act, and not actually like children, giving a psychopathic feel to many characters (which could be cool if they were actually mental patients or hardcases sent to the games) Everything outside the game felt convoluted and there only to get us to the real point of the movie, kids killing kids and OMG isn't that shocking and I'm just not impressed or shocked by things that are trying way too hard. While I'm sure Lord of the Flies meets Death race could be done right, I didn't feel like this was it.
Hearing about Hunger games I'm now interested in seeing it as it seems like the Japanese original done better.
