While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It is not a series to be understood from the other movie of the series first. I can not say that I like Jennifer Lawrence and I like her acting. But it could be a good athlete. It is quite obvious that the author is inspired by which films, books and ideas. I like the world so much. It was a fluent film that could be watched with excitement. It was a film that had remarkable characters but did not smile at the pros. The stereotypes did not sink. This is a series I like.

The Hunger Games, set in a future dytopian society where after a breakout of a rebellion, each year one boy and one girl from each district (there are twelve districts) must enter the hunger games. Each contestant must fight till the death in a huge arena. The main character is Katniss Everdeen who shows strong character and sparks a light in the darkness. The Hunger Games is a movie with suspense and thrills as the hunger games is not the end. The plot is a broad idea with great actors and thrilling events. I recommend the movie to those seeking a movie that will have them on the edge of their seats."No... I mean, you know, I'm sure I would just like anybody else when the time came, but I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don't own me. You know, if I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me. Does that make any sense?"-Peeta Mellark, The Hunger Games

This is a terrible adaption of the Hunger Games book. So many details are left out which makes the plot bland, boring and simplistic. Characters don't develop bonds and relationships, it just happens. When a character feels remorse it makes no sense because they haven't developed a relationship, they were just allies for 20 minutes. The first thing you see when the movie starts is boring text explaining what the reaping is and why the have the hunger games. So straight away they throw the rule of show don't tell out the window from the top floor. Its just so lazy. And its completely pointless anyway as it is explained again in short film that all the tributes watch. The pacing of this movie is also unbearable. Things just happen one after the other. Even the dialogue is lightening fast a lot of the time. Its hard to keep up with the conversations. The plot itself is somewhat interesting, but it is completely watered down to the bare minimum in the movie. Many key details are skipped over and ignored and I can only imagine this movie must be so boring and confusing for anyone who hasn't read the book.

If you're a science fiction geek then you'll undoubtedly love the movie 'The Hunger Games'.It is an adaptation of Suzanne Collins' book bearing the same name and is directed by Garry Ross.The star of the film is no other than the renowned and adored Jennifer Lawrence playing the role of the controverted and rebellious Katniss Everdeen.Set in a far and dystopian future where people are categorised in different sectors based on their social status, the film features the young Katniss trying to defy the ways of the Capitol as she struggles to survive the 'Hunger Games'.As the story unfolds, the protagonist slowly and painfully finds out that the world is much more cruel and heartbreaking than she thought and is put through many difficult scenarios and choices.Under the excellent guidance of Garry Ross, every actor plays their bit in an almost perfect way.Obviously, the film is thought provoking and riveting not only due to the outstanding storyline and plot, but also due to the special effects and overall imagery.Of course, there are no perfect movies so this one has its flaws too, the main one being the rapid pace at which the action develops (they don't really allow you to get sad because of a character's death because something else happens immediately).That being said, I consider this a well-made movie which is really worth the time.I'd gladly recommend it to everyone.
