Hunger Games was a great example! The first one was...well, interesting!
Others...not so much.
I muscled through all but the last one. I saw it on amazon prime and thought, “Hey, I can finish it!” And then I realized I didn’t care.
I Really got suckered into a movie called “The Maze”. I was about halfway through and realized it was just the same type of movie. I finished it thinking at least the story would wrap up.
Except it didn’t. It might as well have said “to be continued” instead of “the end”. Never again (if I can help it).
