Lone Wolf

Am I the only one who thinks that this listing kinda tells us that the story of Krypton will be told through a series of flashbacks?

@forrestgump1 No kidding. Kinda ironic that he calls this movie "pretty thin" when his review is probably the most half-assed I've ever seen.

EXCELLENT review! I'm actually discouraged from writing my own after reading this 'cause you covered a lot of what I wanted to touch in the way I wanted to approach it, but with far better writing skills than I have. And I'm glad to see that practically everyone from our group seems to love this movie. Thanks for not breaking the chain :P

The poster looks pretty awesome... but only because they don't show his face and how over-sized the helmet looks on him.

I'll be at the AMC 14 in Roseville, MN for the midnight screening!

Sorry this review is sorta sloppy. I was distracted as I was writing it. Didn't help that I was still trying to decide what I thought of it. One thing I meant to clarify was that the scenes between Zeus and Hades were my favorite because despite how brief they were, it was the only time I felt any true sense of development and watching gods, all-powerful beings, reveal how emotionally vulnerable they are is such an interesting subject matter for me.

I'm sure that's how many people feel about the camera style. Even I was predicting it, and I forgot to mention how I enjoyed the film being almost exclusively from Katniss' point of view. But even after expecting that camera style and trying to except its inevitability, I still was disappointed. I think partly because it's such an overused and cliched technique in modern-filming that I've just begun to miss the long shots that created the scope of the scene. I understand that "Hunger Games" is a story about humanity and all and I fully understand the use of a camera angle/style to give the viewer an idea of what a character is feeling. But for the start of the game, many kids start dying and it's not just Katniss who's in danger, so I feel like a more generalized shot would've been better for that one part. The following scenes I can understand, but for the most brutal part of the movie, I just thought it would've been more satisfactory.

:P I actually wrote this on Facebook, but then my friend said I should re-post it here to spread the positivity of the film. I don't think I'll really get active here again, but whatever reviews I make on Facebook, I'll be sure to put on here.

Love it. I especially appreciate the concentration camp setting for Erik's poster. Very reminiscent of one the comic book covers.

Scrape that question. I didn't read the description.
