“Thereu0026#39;s almost nothing to say about a movie like The Hunger Games — itu0026#39;s been so worked to death to be a successful blockbuster that all of its edges, the things that make a film good or bad, have disappeared. It just exists as a spectacle, a finished product that defies any critical lens.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI could go on about the particulars of the adaptation — the ridiculousness of the entire Capital setting, or the sometimes disorienting shakycam work, or the great cast of adults patiently playing supporting characters — or the source material — the gestures at social commentary, the way that the story protects Katniss from ever having to morally sully herself — but they all seem to be beside the point. Look. The movie has the things that happened in the book, but in a movie, competently shot and acted, with absolutely no risks taken. If you liked the book, or want to learn what this whole Hunger Games thing is about without having to read the book, youu0026#39;ll probably like this. Itu0026#39;s a digestible film, even an enjoyable one, but in the end itu0026#39;s not really interesting or memorable. But to be fair, it wasnu0026#39;t meant to be.”
