6. There Are Apparently Different Types Of Force-Field, Some Of Which Are Literally Full Of Plot Holes
There's a couple of fairly major errors in the way the film deals with force-fields. Firstly, they are inconsistent, changing their science to suit the needs of a scene. For instance, when Katniss, Peeta and Finnick are running from the mist, they run through a force-field, which then protects them from being blistered to death, but then when Katniss attempts to escape the jabberjays she bounces off as if it's glass. Also Force-Fields are only fatal to lower-billed actors - Peeta almost dies when he runs into one in the early hours of the 75th Games, and Beetee survives his own tangle with an energy field, but because he isn't billed high enough Blight - the unfortunate male tribute of District 7 bites the dust immediately when he is shocked. It's all a matter of casting - Blight's actor (Bobby Jordan) isn't even worthy of a credit, apparently, but you don't kill the likes of Josh Hutcherson or Jeffrey Wright.
5. Peeta Is The Most Immasculated Man In The History Of Cinema
At the start of the film we're supposed to believe that Peeta is the victim of the romantic situation, and that Katniss and Gale are pretty much in love, which really needed to be transmitted on the screen. Because Peeta is also supposed to be the hero of the first Games, necessity means that there has to be a compromise in his character to make him seem more victimised, which for some reason lead the screenwriters to make him the archetypal blunted weapon. He is completely immasculated, first by Gale, when their difference is reinforced by a terribly blant comparisonof Gale's physical appeal with Peeta's skill at baking cakes, and then by Finnick, and all of the other tributes for that matter, who save his life at least three times, because apparently he's a massive, hopeless wimp.
4. The Film Features The Worst Line Of The Entire Year
In an exchange between Peeta and Katniss just after the former almost dies the first time, we have probably the worst line of any film released at any time in 2013: "You were dead. Your heart stopped beating." "Well, it's working now." It feels like it's supposed to be infused with romantic poignancy, but it's horrifically cheesy, and terribly delivered, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
