The Hunger Games

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2012)

I'm a huge fan of the novels, so going into this movie i set my expectations low. The film was actually very entertaining. Being PG-13 not much blood and guts were shown, which I wish there was more, then again we have to remember that kids will be seeing this movie too. The plot of the movie is set in the future. North America as become a country known as Panem. Panem is set into 12 districts (there were 13), and there are all run by the Capitol. Every year the Capitol holds The Hunger Games, where one boy and girl ranging the ages from 12-18 are randomly drawn from each district. Those 24 kids have to fight to the death while being broadcast for their country to see. Katniss is the main character to volunteers to take her little sister's place. Jennifer Lawrence played a perfect Katniss, she is exactly how I pictured the main character being. Woody Harrelson plays a great Haymitch, who is considered a big drunk. I would consider the movie to be very well done, if I hadn't read the books, but like I said before, I knew there would be some disappointments in the film.
