Watching as a Jennifer Lawrence fan...

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2014)

not as a fan of the books (which I intend to read having seen the first film) and was pleasantly surprised that not only was this film as imaginative as it was daunting to take in the disparity between the social classes that forms the basis of the plot and essentially plays out throughout its course, Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) truly shines even in commercial cinema. I discovered her a few years ago having seen her in a couple of small films I'm sure no one else saw ('The Burning Plain', 'The Poker House') and I'm glad that the world has now discovered her rare talent on such a monumental scale with brilliant turns in 'The X-Men', 'Silver linings Playbook' and now 'The Hunger Games' series.
