the hunger games review

The hunger games is a thrilling and superbly acted film. the hunger games captures the dramatic violence, raw emotion and ambitious scope of its source novel. the dystopian universe could have been more well explored, while the shaky camera in the action scenes makes it a bit hard to follow what is happening on screen. Still this is an exhilarating movie that benefits a lot from charismatic characters and great performances. Also this film creates an atmosphere unlike anything you've seen before. when Katniss' sister Prim is chosen as a tribute for the 74th annual hunger games, she will not have it, she volunteers herself to compete. the hungers games is like a battle to death 12 districts across the world compete in the hunger games, it is a televised event that happens out of pure chance many of the contenders have been trained, while Katniss is forced to rely on her hunting knowledge and coaching instructions as she meets Peeta her feelings for the game change, when she finds out that he is in love with her 24 contestants are forced into battle, only one comes out alive. the acting is brilliant by the entire cast especially Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson who play Katniss and Peeta, their emotions run on a high throughout the film I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through although it does have its fair share of clichés of course and those are minor faults.
