I sat back and watched The Hunger Games last night. I don't jump on the band wagon for movies. The more hype it gets, the less likely I am to see it. I never saw The Lion King, ET or any Star Wars movies after the 2nd one. Too much hype. The last time I saw an overhyped movie I was sorely disappointed because everyone has built it up to unrealistic proportions.
I am left with the conclusion that the Hunger Games movie is a rip off. Its an elaborate version of The Running Man starring ARNIE with a few deviations. Hunger Games is an ok movie, but the concept is far from original.
Whats with movies these days? Is our society that lacking in imagination that the only new movies we can come up with are redone versions of past movies or different takes on the same movie?
