The Hunger Games (2012)
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. The world will be watching.

I love this movie but it was definately not better than the book, in the book, Peeta lost his leg, in the movie, it was just a scar. I hate it when movies leave out key parts! Good thing they got a new director for Catching Fire I can't wait to see that movie!
sophygover 11 yearsAlthough the camera was very shaky, it was very entertaining to watch. Can't wait to watch the sequel!
This is the best movie ever!!!! I would have to say that the books are better.
I read all the books and I loved them ;). So when The Hunger Games came on DVD I convinced my parents to get it! Its awesome and I love it, though it does miss some important parts for in the later books!
yusuf120over 11 yearsi know the hunger games gotten old but i still didn't watch it yet
this movie is also really good and i also recommend this one! i saw this one about 2 or 3 times also. its adventures and cool. a little sad thought. i didn't read the book though and i heard the book is also really good, so if you didn't see it read the book first then see this movie i'm sure you'll love it!

It was really good, but it didn't match up with the movie exactly like I thought it would. It was a good movie overall.
