THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE REVIEW

  The Hunger Games is directed by Gary Ross and Stars Jennifer Lawrence,Josh Hutcherson,Liam Hemsworth,Woody Harrelson,Elizabeth Banks,Lenny Kravitz,Stanly Tucci and Donald Sutherland. The plot of the movie is sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen lives in district 12 which is very poor. Every year there is an annual event called The Hunger Games which is put on by the capital.  Every year two kids one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are selected from each of the 12 districts to compete. On the day of the reaping Katniss volunteers to take her sisters place in the games.   I was really looking forward to the movie and I thought it was a great adaptation of the book.  Jennifer Lawrence is great as Katniss she makes her character very likable. Josh Hutcherson was great as Peeta also Liam Hemsworth was good as Gale we get to see more of him in this movie than we do in the book.  Woody Harrelson is amazing as Haymitch in the book I hated him but he's a lot more likable in the movie.   Gary Ross directs the movie very well everything looked like I thought it would also he made the build up to the games more enjoyable than it was in the book. The games were well done also however because the movie is rated PG-13 you don't see a lot of the gore. I get why they went PG-13 but I would have rather it been rated R however that's a small complained.   So overall I was very happy with the movie.  5 out of 5 stars for The Hunger Games.   I hope you enjoyed my review and I hope it helped you decide whether to see the movie or not.
