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. The world will be watching.

Reviews

nate-car I recently watched all four movies in a row, after watching them separately over the years... just in case I was missing something by not investing in the famous story and the entire epic as a whole. I now can't say I didn't try... Drab and depressing, I found all four Hunger Games movies missing almost all elements to make it memorable, enjoyable, fun, exciting, clever or 'epic' in any way. The concept from the get go made very little sense, the fictional world was not very well designed, and the rules of the universe weak and flimsy. I liked some of the cast and have been fans of several for years, but each character was hollow with very little true motivation, and the arks of their characters rarely moved beyond their first introduction. I actually lowered my stars scores after binge watching the series, because it seemed like a waste of time and the only thing it clearly indicated is, on my own personal scale '2 stars' means- "an ordinary movie that I don't want to and could not be easily convinced to ever watch again...". Which I have now given all four films.

MovieManChuck 3/4After reading The Hunger Games books, I immeadiately HAD to watch the movies. I knew the odds were in their favor in a subjective sense. While I can't say I liked either the book or the movie better, I'd say the book tells the story in a more complete and emotional manor, while the movie makes the same story more accessible. (The Hunger Games movies pay homage to their source material, unlike some other re-makes).The 12 districts of Panem, who are under a dictatorship that requires a teenaged boy and girl from each district every year. The selected people are put into an arena where they will fight to the death on live TV. The story centers around Katniss Everdeen, (Jennifer Lawrence) who volunteers for the games in her sister's place. Jennifer Lawrence gives a great Everdeen, and Josh Hutcherson gives a great Peet's, but most of the non-leads (with some exceptions) felt lacking. Example: when a certain highly likable character is killed, it fails to wrench your guts.If I had to pick one thing I was very disappointed about in this film, it would definitely be the CGI. Some of the action (ESPECIALLY a certain scene toward the end of the film....no spoilers) looks incredibly fake to the point where you aren't in the movie anymore. While it's definitely no Battlefield Earth in terms of poor CGI, it should be kicked up a notch considering the high demand for this movie.Despite some flaws, this movie is probably my favorite "YA" movie (if not one of it's sequels) and one definitely worth a watch. It takes great care to give you the same experience you had when yo read the novel, and it's a ton of fun as well.

cricketbat I am very impressed with The Hunger Games. Of course, I love the book, so I wonder how enjoyable it would be to someone who doesn't know all of the background. The story is compelling and the violence is suitable for the subject matter -- it isn't excessive or gratuitous. Jennifer Lawrence once again proves herself as a talented actor, and the supporting cast is enjoyable to watch, as well. This is a powerful, well-made drama. Please stop associating it with Twilight.

laszlol-90748 This is pretty overrated. Might make a video about all the problems of this movie
