Amazing start to The Hunger Games movies!

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2012)

The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross was originally written as a gripping trilogy (to those who've read the books) by Suzanne Collins back in 2006 and now this movie is a top hit for millions of viewers worldwide. An outstanding cast including Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson recreate the star-crossed lovers from district 12 using their different talents to outwit the Capitol. Set in the future, all 12 districts of Panem are expected to offer up one courageous man and woman to represent their district in the annual hunger games. Twenty four 'tributes' go in, but only one comes out and Katniss Everdeen puts herself up to the challenge of testing her abilities against her other highly trained opponents. Peeta being a naturally welcoming person doesn't find it hard to fit in with the Capitol and being the heart throb of the lot, he manages to wriggle himself in to Katniss' life and when Katniss realizes what is valuable to her, she is left to depend on him.
