Totally unbelievable

I have not read the books so I went to this movie with an open mind. I was supposed to believe that earth has advanced to maglev trains that travel 200mph, and there is one advanced 'class' of people that rules all others. Every year, for 73 years, it kills 23 teenagers for sport and entertainment. And finally in the 74th year, one teenager says "Enough", and the whole system collapses. And that's just the premise of the movie. We are lead to believe that Katniss is a crack shot with a bow and arrow (she shoots all her squires in the eye to preserve the meat) misses an attacker at 5 feet with 2 arrows. How does that happen? Katniss is armed with the only weapon in the "game" that can kill from long range, all the other weapons are for hand to hand combat, yet she takes little or no advantage of her weaponry or skills. She knows that at night she needs to seek the high ground, yet late in the movie when things go dark she stays on the ground and is attacked by genetically engineered 4 legged creatures that can't climb. Hello, stick to the plan, seek the high ground for protection when things to dark. Come on, this movie was just too full holes to recommend to anyone.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
