The much anticipated movie of this season. Based on the best
seller trilogy, The Hunger Games broke records on its opening weekend in USA. I
didn’t know about the books, since I haven’t been in a book store for a very
long time! But when I saw the movie buzz on TV and online I was slightly
curious to read the books and had them in my Amazon cart. After seeing the
movie, I will definitely BUY it!!
The movie was AMAZING! Very intense and entertaining! It was
slow at first, but then when I get the hang of the story line and setting; it was just a rush of
thrilling scenes. I can see there’s a lot of details we need to know are in the
book, that’s why I’m excited to be a new fan of this trilogy!!
I liked the concept of the movie, survival of the fittest
and all. It’s amazing how people act when they face death! Their true nature
appears and it’s sometimes predictable, but can also be shocking. The movie was
slightly slow like I said, but it made me believe the game was happening for
real. The movie was more drama than action, but in a good way!
I don’t want to talk about the plot a lot, but the main idea
is get kids from different districts (the movie is set in a different world),
throw them in a forest and let them kill each other; only one can survive. This
concept is kinda old, but what I liked is how the writer made a TV show around
it. It’s just a reflection of today’s world, on how to survive based on rating
and people’s love. True, no one is killing each other in reality shows (even
though most of the time they try) it’s just the same concept; let everyone
fight and back stab each other for people’s entertainment.
A line I liked that was said in the movie was, “I don’t
wanna lose myself in this game”. It says a lot!
There were signs in the last couple of scenes of the movie
about part too, and I searched for it, so “Catching Fire” will be released in 2013!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
The movie is fun and you should go and cheer for your
favorite in Hunger Games ;)

The film doesn’t really get going until they actually do get to The Hunger Games, but when it does get started up its entertaining, tense, unpredictable, and very well executed from Gary Ross. I also couldn't believe that this was his 3rd film after other flicks such as Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, which are both good but are different from this one. Still though, great jobs from everybody involved and I cannot wait for the sequel. Good review.
