But it was well-done (although I'm not a fan of the shaky camera work). And Jennifer Lawrence is stunning. (Although probably too fat for Omaha.)
So I watched this with my daughter today. It was ok. Certainly better than I expected. It reminded me a lot of 70s scifi like Logan's Run and Soylent Green. Just the style and feel of it.

I think my favorite parts about it were Woody Harelson and Lenny Kravitzs characters. They were both basically mentors for Katniss. Hopefully they expand on those characters because they were great.

Hated the shaky cam work. WTF? Maybe they were trying to disguise the violence to get a PG13?

I'm still amazed that a book series and movie about kids trying to kill each other became this huge pop culture event. Heh.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
