Hunger Games - Either hate it or love it

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2014)

For what I've been hearing on the Hunger Games story you either going to love all the movies or you going to hate them. Yet I feel like I'm part of some middle class who doesn't go by any of the previous choices. The first of Hunger Games movie didn't dazzled me. I felt like it made no sense. The society they we're showing just did made sense for me. I get the poor class and the abuse of power and using the poor to fulfill the richest wants but the connection between a super advanced society with great technology supporting killing games just for fun caused me a certain "itch" that made me not to buy it. Now, with Hunger Games - Catching Fire and the revolution ahead it started making better sense. At least now people don't seem all to be puppets of the master show and I bought it. If you liked the first movie you are going to love this one because it's more intense (Kudos on Jennifer Lawrence, in my opinion she's becoming one of the finest artists of our generation) and we are finally presented with the going against the all uncomfortable situation of games made to kill people. Yet, it still bother's me a bit. I realize that it happened in our history several situation like this and nowadays we are still puppets in the hands of powerful people. Yet I like to believe that isn't in such exaggerated ways and we have more power to "fight" against it. On the other hand if you hated the first one probably isn't going to be this one making you change your mind. The story line hasn't change and Hunger Games it's still Hunger Games. Personally I fell like the characters behaviors and feelings are more better exploit and that brings them close to us. The movie still manages to pull some surprises (not extremely surprising but reasonable) and it ends up being a good way of entertaining in the drama/adventurous area. I certainly recommend it, a movie can always teach something. Worst case scenario is for you not to see the next one.
