Very well made.

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2012)

'Hunger Games' at first appeared to be another teen fantasy book series, that would someday become a film saga which would be mediocre like most the others. Instead it was a refreshing surprise when I read the books that it was an intelligent, well thought out, series with an almost unpredictable story arch. Upon seeing the film I was once again surprised and refreshed by the quality of the creation. It followed as closely to the book as possible, and did very good job of bringing Suzanne Collins novel full of imagination to life. They custom designed every line, every look, every costume, every setting and every detail to Tailor fit it's purpose. Jennifer Lawrence provided her usual rugged, intellectual, emotion-yet-strong character with nearly flawless acting, to compliment the film even further. Josh Hutcherson brought something new to the table for him. He was serious,emotional, and brave: a perfect co-star for Jennifer Lawrence. They did a nice job of adapting the vital lesson of the book: Suzanne Collins' creates a world full of imagination though it is very clear that it is is in a not-too-distant future for the united states on the path that we are currently on. It is visible, however in only the most subtle of ways. All in all, very well made, and most definitely a must see.
