Suspense Packed Action Movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2012)

The Hunger Games isn't a perfect movie, but what it does best was keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense. The build up to the action was great, you start rooting for the main character in the movie. I also thought the movie was well acted, with Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Donald Sutherland doing great jobs.
I wish they would have just done a rated R version of the movie, or release an un-rated DVD. Some of the action scenes in the beginning they have the shaky cam going which gets annoying. The love story drags a little.
The people comparing it to Harry Potter or Twilight probably haven't seen Hunger Games. Besides a the love story, and the fact there are some teens in the movie, Hunger Games is completely different. Hunger Games much more violent, suspenseful and raw. It is actually closer to The Running Man.
