I love the Hunger Game films. They are superb and especially due to having Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. It took me a while to watch this one knowing she was not in it. This film started off so well. Showing the origin of the games. Some quite brutal scenes and very well done. The second half of this film just changed tempo. There was for me far too much emphasis on the character Lucy Gray and her singing. Rachel Zeglar is stunning and has a really beautiful voice. But there was just too much. I know the story is from a book but the second half could have been done so much better. It seemed to lose it's way.
