Overview:
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Very well made movie with quality writing, acting and cinematography. **Pros**: strong performance from the star. Technically excellent. **Cons**: Seems to me that the ending was premature but perhaps intentionally so - for a sequel? Character development is largely weak but t ....

Stories about revolution can be quite good. But stories about why a revolution is needed are invariably great. The Hunger Games is such a story. The movie (for the most part), closely follows the book, and does a good job of it. It also sets up the next book/movie beautifully, ....

I don't really know what's so special about this movie. I found "The Running Man" or "Total Recall" much more deep thought than this. Is it maybe that the main character is a female? Still, it is entertaining and, in this regard, it does its job.

A powerful movie that crosses several genres. From various post-apocalyptic movies we are shown the world after a worldwide disaster that has destroyed our civilization and left a more brutal one. From Spartacus the idea of gladiator games, with the added horror that these "fighter ....

Evil "President Snow" (Donald Sutherland) has his own unique way of keeping order amongst his provinces. Once a year he draws a lottery of 12-18 year old boys and girls who must fight to the death for the entertainment of the viewing public on television. He doesn't reckon on the cal ....
