"This is what I thought of the movie I just watched" thread

Apples and oranges IMO. Though both are set in futuristic fantasy, one is much more futuristic than the other. You wouldn't expect the same type of violence with the weaponry in Star Wars; lasers and explosions and shit. The Hunger Games incorporates swords and maces and bow and arrows; primitive weaponry, in other words. The futuristic equivalent of the sword, the light-saber, actually does result in some pretty full on violence in Star Wars - Luke has his hand amputated, for example. His father has both his legs cut-off and is practically burnt alive. Darth Maul is cleft in twain. Dooku has both hands cut off and then is mercilessly decapitated. It's cartoonish at times but the violence is believable and appropriate for the genre. The Hunger Games violence isn't at all matched by the premise.

I know what you're saying, of course. And it may seem a trivial objection but I just find it hard to believe the despair and fear and mental torture which is supposed to prepare the viewer leading into the games, when the violence isn't at all proportional. It's remarkably tame compared to other movies also rated M. So much so that the supposedly grand gesture of volunteering doesn't even seem to daunt that Peeta cunt. Nor that old bag who needs to be carried everywhere.

 

Haha yeah. Phaggots clapping and shit like it was some masterpiece, I mean ffs.
