The Hunger Games

Rating: 3/10 (23 March 2012)

If you are not an avid reader and don't know what good literature is; if you have the IQ of a sweet potato or a teenager; if you have no real knowledge of artful cinema; if you thrive on violence, whether in real life or in video games; you will probably like this movie which was written to be nothing more than a "commercially successful venture." while the acting was fairly good, the storyline sucked big time and was ridiculous, at best. (and no i haven't read the whole book yet, but what i have read is certainly no example of good writing.) if this movie and/or book makes billions of dollars, which I'm sure it will, all I can say is that, as a society, we are in deep you know what! basically,it's a piece of crap thrown out to our young people to make a lot of money, and they have unwittingly fallen for it. do yourself a favor,read a good book, or see a good film. God knows, there are plenty of them out there, but this was certainly not one of them!
