Summary: In a place known as Panem, the people of all 12 districts, are subject to a cruel and unusual punishment. As punishment for rebellion against the Capitol, one boy and girl from each district must participate in the Hunger Games-where the tributs must fight to the death, until only one is left.In District 12 Primrose Everdeen's name is drawn, her older sister Katniss decides to volunteer herself as tribute, alongside Peeta Mellark, the male tribute, whom Katniss knows form her past. Now Katniss must say goodbye to her mother, sister, and close friend Gale. Together Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol where their mentor, Haymitch Abernathy-victor (winner) of the 50th Annual Hunger Games-instructs them to watch for the other tributes strengths and weaknesses. But that's just the beginning of their problems, as they face the loss of everything they know, and that eventually one or both of them will have to die...
My Reaction: The movie was great, not amazing though. I felt as though there was a lot of Katniss, and it didn't focus enough on some of the other characters as much as it did in the book. I also thought there could've been more romance between Katniss and Peeta, i mean only one kissing scene-what? Even though, I looved Josh, the perfect Peeta, in my opinion. I also liked how they showed what was going on in the capitol, along with in the Hunger Games. Another thing I thought was cool, was that Suzanne Collins wrote the screenplay too. The movie wasn't as good as the book-obviously=but I still really liked it :)
My Rating: 8.5/10
