I read some reviews that said the same thing, but Alice in Wonderland was exactly what was supposed to be the reaction. I don't think they went far enough honestly although it was better than the trailers appeared.I agree with everything you said.
The art direction for the rich people was all "Alice in Wonderland in the fuuuuuuture" while the art direction for the poor people was as simplistic and boring as you can imagine. I didn't really like either, but the latter at least felt somewhat real.
That would make him perfect for Mockingjay. I'm not really a fan of his though.Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is the perfect choice for a sequel that will depress the hell out of everyone.
