Fun to watch, but nothing spectacular

Enjoyable movie, but for being 2 1/2 hours long, it isn't very deep. You really only follow the story of one Tribute. You don't learn a lot about her life, or the life of people in her community or the dystopia that is North America. Sadly, you can probably guess the plot for the entire movie before you see it. As for being shallow, most of the other tributes die off without you even seeing them, so it has no impact on you when they all start dying. I thought (and was hoping) the story would fall more in line with 1984, where they do something crazy to overthrow the Games, the system or the oppressive government, but no, they just go along with what they're expected to do, and the movie ends lackluster-ly. All that said, the build-up to the Games was intense, and the movie was good enough to watch.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
