I love watching American movies when I've seen originals. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I'm not sure I'd agree that the THG movies worked. I love the Japanese films so I enjoyed most of them but many don't really stand on their own from the original classics. Avengers: Age of Ultron seems to have been very successful in their target audience so I don't know that I would call those movies disasters.
Some Asian to USA adaptation I've thought very good are Gone Girl, Game of Thrones, Kick-Ass, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Breaking Bad, John Wick.
Then there are some movies were I thought the adaptation improved up on the source material like The Human Centipede and American Psycho.
Then there are of course many terrible ones like The Hunger Games but overall it seems to depend on which one you've seen first.

Forgive the late reply, as I spent the weekend putting the finishing touches on an elaborate plastic model clipper-ship I have been building inside a large bottle for the last 12 years.
One thing I was not doing, checking my twitterfeed for new updates on the latest 'Mockingjay - Part 2' promos...
Lets face it, 'Mockingjay - Part 2' was filmed at the same time as 'Part 2' and is already in the can. The only reason they hold off on the release is to milk the public for more Hungertard money.

I knew that Hungertards were deperately in need of a hobby, after being fleeced by lionsgate and all that, but maybe a four year investment in a franchise whose chief goal is to rip off the public, as well as BR2, isn't the best way to go. Just sayin'...
