Gotta say I'm very confused about that too.

He gives A+ as 5/5. I'm not sure why it isn't 4.5 but none the less a good review.

Ah, yeah the A+ thing makes sense. Definitely seems like A should be 4.5/5 though.

Yeah, I would think 'A-' or 'B+' would be a 4/5. An 'A' would be 4.5, and 'A+' would be 5/5.

Roeper and Berardinelli are easily my favorite movie critics on this site, so I'm happy they both really liked it.

It wasn't that it was well acted (though there was no lack of talent). It was that the editing was adequate. Editing and time spent getting enough scene footage (takes) to work with is far more important than acting ability in movies for America.

Look at the numbers folks. This movie is listing close to the same percentages as Avatar. I don't care how you slice it The Hunger Games is _not_that_good_. Not that Avatar's numbers weren't a little high but clearly Avatar is at minimum a full 10% better.

Who cares? I liked the movie more than Avatar; doesn't matter to me whether or not other people thinks it's better.

This is nothing more than a teenage slasher flick. 24 in 22 dead. With a ridiculous premise. Might as well been Jason and Friday the 13th. You all been duped.

bad script, bad direction, bad acting. I am surprised you do not see these important things. out of 10 it deserves a 3. But that is just my opinion.
