By the way. Anyone else notice the action song sounded very similar to the theme song from Mad Max Fury Road? It was driving me nuts.
Interesting. After LOTR and The Hobbit, I figured this would be an epic start to a series. I was disappointed.Same composer: Junkie XL
Also, you (and probably others) need to realize that when a big name director has his name attached to a movie he is not directing, it's futile to presume the movie will explore similar themes or have the level or even type of direction you come to expect from said big name director. Jackson did just enough to land one of the four writing credit and his company is producing, landing him a producer credit. The film is directed by Christian Rivers, a long time co-worker of Jackson who worked up the food chain from storyboard artist to special effect supervisor to second unit director to now full-fledged director.
That being said, they do their marketing right, because I also thought this was directed by Jackson before checking the music credit made me look for the full credits.
No one is going to care about this film
I’ll be amazed if it gets a sequel
Edgy.I still wanna see this, but it is far too high concept for the Hunger Games loving audience

My biggest complaint was that it was just super fucking lazy. They didn't explain shit. For instance, introducing random ass characters that are super important to the plot like 30 minutes from the conclusion.Agree, lots of plot holes, too many over-used tropes, basically no jokes or humor, too many characters they try to you care for but feel flat.
