Astoundingly brilliant.

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2012)

I have seen (in my opinion) a few of the most fantastic films in the world, and The Hunger Games is one on my list. It is astonishing just how wonderful is. It is action-packed and makes your heart go insane in your chest. I went to see it with my friend - who has read the books and seen the film more than twice - and we jumped and screamed and laughed and sobbed like babies. Stanley Tucci is hilarious with his blue hair and Hunger Games talk show - very funny and cute. My friend knew I'd love Peeta, and she was completely right; Peeta is an incredibly lovable and sweet character. The gruesome parts are quite graphic, but if you ignore the blood and guts and the cannons signifying a tribute just died (very emotional, to be honest, but excellently done) you see an emotional and heart-breaking and mesmerising film that will captivate you from the very beginning right until the very end.
