"The Hunger Games"
PG-13
5/5 stars
Summary: "The Hunger Games," based off of Suzanne Collins's first book, reflects on the life of 18-year-old Katniss Everdeen who lives in the future North America: The 12 Districts of Panem. Each year, two children (one male, one female) between ages 12 and 18 are forced to enter their names in a lottery ring called the Hunger Games. The two children picked, called tributes, are trained and put into an arena where they fight to the death with a total of 22 other tributes. Katniss's sister is chosen in the 74th annual games, and Katniss willingly volunteers to replace her sister in the Hunger Games. The male tribute chosen is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son. The two find love, courage, and hope in this edge-of-your-seat, momentously huge film.

Review: I loved this production of Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games!" I think stars Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) and Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) did an excellent job. I highly suggest that anyone under 13 years of age/squeamish/not a fan of exciting action movies does not see this film. There wasn't very much gore in this video, but it was still bloody and a few parts really made even my stomach turn. I also warn you to beware of the dog creatures -- you'll know what I'm talking about when you see the movie! It was absolutely fantastic and I'm anticipating more to come! Another tip: pre-purchase your tickets. The whole nation is hyped up about "The Hunger Games," and if you think you can pass buying tickets there, you'd better wait a full week or so to watch. Just warning you! :) And may the odds be EVER in your favor.
I know, they were great. I just saw it today. I'm so glad they stuck to the book.
