I came out not having really felt the deaths much at all, and I was expecting to feel HORRIFIC about it all (in an OMG THIS IS SO TERRIBLY WRONG UGH UGH effect sort of way) like I did with the books. But then it was all so bloodless and desensitised, and I understand why it was, but it hardly felt like there was even any danger in the arena most of the time, and all the tragic deaths and the waste of young life just wasn't really affecting when Cato would swing his sword to cut some poor child down, and his sword was as clean as a whistle without a single smudge or drop of blood, and the tribute was lying on the ground looking still quite coiffed and bloodless too.

Rather than being like ".......... omg that just happened :|" as I completely thought i'd be, I was "oh, so that just happened". Ugh. DISAPPOINTED. Because I WANTED it to be shocking, I wanted it to feel like real jeopardy, like it really is as brutal as it's meant to be from the books, that these disturbing things happen every year for the Capitol's fun. I wanted audiences to feel that visceral shock that THIS. IS. HAPPENING. and recognise the true nature of that fact.

Of course i'm British, and the BBFC did edit out 7 seconds of blood, so no doubt it was perhaps more bloody in the US release.

But no wonder so so many people have reported audience members in their screenings actually cheering when careers died. No wonder people cheered and applauded when Cato - a teenager indoctrinated and trained up to kill since a boy - was being eaten alive by muttations. Ugh. So wrong.

So rant over, I completely get why you were upset that people came out nonplussed. Imho it played it so safe to get a younger audience in and rake in more money that the true horror of the Games was lost on the majority.

Yes, this exactly. In the movie the concept of the Games is still horrible but the movie doesn't really show just how fucking hard and scary and traumatising they are. Like you said they played it safe and I completely understand why but I just wish it wasn't so.
