A rather well done movie.

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2012)

I recently rented this movie (Three days ago to be exact). I was a little apprehensive about renting it because from what I had seen I had related it to something the likes of Twilight but, I was pleasantly surprised. I rather enjoyed it. Although it does seem mildly campy in some areas (The capital high class people) but, that is to be expected of a futuristic high class society so I must applaud them for the look, the colors were vibrant and the characters were well portrayed. Now I also went into the movie thinking that it was going to be one of those PG-13 movies that would be rather bland on the action and that it'd probably be one of the ones that it would still be alright to take a kid along to and again, I was surprised. I KNEW the premise was was 12-18 year old kids fighting to the death but I did NOT expect it to be as graphic as it was. In the first few moments when they when they're raised into the arena in front of the cornucopia I expected a couple kills but, I did NOT expect a slaughterhouse. Overall a pretty good movie and I look forward to see where the sequels go.
