Even though I would call myself a fan of Jennifer Lawrence, I never warmed up to the first "Hunger Games" film. There are certainly aspects that I enjoy, but the film is ultimately too long, too poorly directed, and too dull to be interesting. The camera is also way too shaky for my liking. To make matters worse, it takes what feels like an eternity for the actual Hunger Games to begin. The movie could have been saved if the other tributes had gotten a little more character development, but it just wasn't enough for me. The franchise had potential from the start, but it was never realized in the first installment.
