The Hunger Games

 

The Hunger Games

The 2012 film based off of the best selling book series, became an international hit on March 23. The film set itself up to follow the books and so, as we now know, they will be making films for Catching Fire(in 2013), Mockingjay Part 1(in 2014), and Mockingjay Part 2(in 2015). The film made by Gary Ross(Pleasentville, and Seabiscuit) starred an all-star cast of Jennifer Lawrence( X-Men First Class, Winter's Bone), Josh Hutcherson(Zathura, Bridge to Terabithia), Liam Hemsworth(The Last Song) and other amazing cast members such as Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kraviz, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones and Stanley Tucci. The thriller film set in the future most likely, showed an amazing storyline thanks to Suzanne Collins(author of the book series). It was an amazing special effects drama, showing the inhumanity of things at certain times in life. The music was fairly good. Altogether it was a well put together film, and not a waste of anyone's money. I know you are probably getting tired of me saying this, but I give it an 8/10.
