A great movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2012)

ABSOLUTELY LOVED HUNGER GAMES. It was such a great thriller, really did justice to the book. Wonderful camera angles kept me rivetted the entire movie. Can't wait for Catching Fire :) Cast selection was selected perfectly. Liam Hemswroth was a perfect choice can't wait to see more of him :) Let the games begin. Some people accuse this movie, because of the shaky cam it has, but I liked that effect. It lets you know that wherever Katniss is, things could always go wrong. I really enjoyed this movie. I was amazed. It was astonishing and excellent. Jennifer Lawrence does a fantastic job of Katniss Everdeen, a teen who supports a lot for her family since her father died. Josh Hutcherson does great as Peeta, a teen who is a kind hearted boy who's parents own a bakery. He saves Katniss from starvation once. Here is a plot summary of the movie, In the near future, the government lost a bet for a failed rebellion so now in Panem, every year there must be a televised death match and one female and male tribute will be chosen by a lottery draw. There are 12 districts which means that there will be 23 teenagers dead and one still standing. From district 12, Katniss Everdeen lives with her sister Primrose and her mother. Her father tragically dies in a mine explosion. When the tributes are chosen by Effie Trinket , Prim gets chosen and Katniss being a caring older sister takes Prim's place. The male tribute is Peeta Mellark. Katniss and Peeta have to go to a parade, have an interview with Caesar Flickerman and get prompted by there mentor Haymitch Abernathy. She must train while Seneca Crane and the other Game Makers watch. When the games start Katniss hides in fear that someone will try to kill her. She meets a girl from district 11 named Rue who is just like Prim, and makes her a friend but Katniss makes enemies with Cato and Clove, the tributes from district 2. Katniss must find a way to survive all the knives and arrows and try to win, for her sister. This movie truly shows the horror of starvation and hunger. It also shows how bad some governments are. In this, the government is very cruel, and forces people to participate in a death match. Gary Ross did a great job. I am looking forward to the sequel, called Catching fire. A fabulous film. A.
