Happy Hunger Games, And May The Odds Be In Your Favor!

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2012)

Sorry that I have not written a review in a long time but I am back full force. My school just got back today from viewing The Hunger Games and all I can say is wow.
Based on the best selling novels written by Suzanne Collins, The film is about The 74th Annual Hunger Games, a sadistic game where 24 kids from 12 districts, 2 from every one, to fight to the death and the one who survives gets fame and fortune. Katniss Everdeen played by Jennifer Lawrence sees that her little sister Primrose played by Willow Shields has been called up as a tribute. Katniss interjects and volunteers to go instead of her sister. She also meets Peeta Mellark played by Josh Hutcherson who stick together to fight the good fight for District 12.
This is by far the best book to movie film I have seen so far. The Effects are awesome, The performances by Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are fantastic, Woody Harelson Is Pretty Funny and the film is very violent and intense sticking closely to the book. It is thrilling all the way through with the best scene being the final fight with Cato and the sad moments are very emotional. Definitely check this one out.
Dedicated to my Reading Teacher Mrs. Tenerowicz for going out of her way to do this.
GO DISTRICT 12!
