If the first fifteen minutes of Blast from the Past were a full film set in a subterranean Who-ville decorated by the Weasley family. This hungover Hunger Games is interestingly conceived but underwritten, and only escapes the darkness on the strong shoulders of running Ronan. Murray vs. mole rat melee!

You meant to say, The Hunger Pains is a hungover version of this. CoE obviously came first, THG had cardboard characters, was terribly directed, and this was both a superior, well written book and movie (not that it's hard to be better than that but whatever).

But THG rips so many other stories off anyway.
