  • I'm quite glad I was kind of dragged along to see Hunger Games 2. I didn't see the first one as I was being my usual, "oh if everyone loves it, it must be shit" self, and my secondary, "I saw the movie it's based on so it can fuck off" self.

    I don't know how the first one stacks up to Battle Royale, I'm not really that bothered, but the back story, as to why there's the Hunger Games is much better than Battle Royale's. After some background reading on what was missed from the books, it seems there's a couple of things that are referenced but never explained, but forgetting those, it's a pretty good film. Just a bit soft around the edges to make it a 12A.
