The Hunger Games (film)

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson


In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided between 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. Written by Suzanne Collins  


I'm not a fan, but it was okay. I was bored at the first half of the movie, but when the fighting started, I got  excited and scared a bit. There were one or two funny moments and some "kilig" moments. Well, they were not really "kilig" moments, but since there were reactors behind me (some guys who react a lot), I tend to laugh and giggle with them. Also, it would have been better if there was more screening time for each contestant in the Hunger Games, so viewers would get to know their personalities and abilities better.

Would I recommend this movie? Well, yes. Because it's famous today. You wouldn't wanna be behind your peers. But for me, nothing beats Harry Potter classics! Nyehe ;D

Here's the trailer. Enjoy and may the odds be ever in your favor~~!!



PS. I'm surprised by the transformation of Alexander Ludwig of The Seeker and Race to Witch Mountain.
