A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing 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.… Expand

Después de ver que la trama era sobre un futuro Apocalipsis, donde todos los niños y adolescentes pelean a muerte en una arena de combate y al final solo uno puede sobrevivir; me intereso muchísimo y e de decir que cuando termine la pelicula, me quede con ganas de mas; tanto así que comencé a leer la trilogía. En términos de adaptación, es pasable, hay muchos cambios y muchos cortes, pero la cinta es objetiva, entretenida, llena de suspenso, violencia, critica política y Amor.

A thrilling action-packed film with the strong lead character of Katniss Everdeen. A great first installment in the Hunger Games series. It's much better than your normal book teen obsession. *cough* Twilight *cough*

This is a good film, mostly because of its great action and top notch special effects, the reason it didn't recieve a 9 or 10 is because the characters are on a Twilight scale of blandness.

I had not expected that this fantasy would convey deep emotion. That, and the great actors, unique soundtrack and consequent art design add a lot to a not quite outworn scenario. I highly enjoyed the beauty and the quality of the film (and also, the overdone references to other genre movies will amuse for some time to come).

Sadly, when the fighting starts, the plot loses important nuances, although the story still motivated me enough to hold out to the end. An accomplishment, but the duration is probably just too long - something I usually don't say because I like a good epic. But in this case, weaknesses of an old plot recipe eat up almost the rest of the movie. That's why I gave 7 - after a captivating start and some precious sequences after that.… Expand

Jennifer Lawrence acting so well here, she owns the story and explodes the emotions. Overall a very well done sci-fi here, that comes not without some heavy burden on the shoulders of humanity. I only take one point off for the costume and makeup department on the rich. I mean, what the hell was that about? I hated it.

Way, way too much fidelity to the source material. The first hour and a half is ponderous and keeps repeating plot and character points that may have been useful in the novel, but really drag the movie down at least when it pertains to the villainous characters. They are portrayed without an ounce of balance or empathy! As an artistic choice, it's fine, but then someone should have taken some liberties with the script to assure that we weren't treated to endless scenes of Tucci and company being wretched and evil. It got old very quickly. Casting was mostly well done. Rue worked for me and I believe was a true artistic choice especially in Katniss' final acts for her. Lawrence was much, much better in this role than in anything she has done before. It's the first time I've seen her reveal herself in her acting. She worked for me and the nuances of the premise made me feel like I was not watching something put out there to make the kids "feel empowered" which is 90% of teen film. To be commended.… Expand

This is largely thanks to Jennifer Lawrence who does such an excellent job of bringing Katniss to life.

The Hunger Games is based on the books that Suzanne Collins wrote. The world of Panem is where this movie takes place. Panem has 12 Districts, all who have to provide the Capital with a resource. Such as District 12 supplies the Capital with coal, District 5 with power to all the districts and the Capital, and District 7 with lumber. Every year all the districts have to send one boy and one girl, from the ages 12 to 18, to the Capital to fight to the death till only one remains. This act of cruelty is to keep all the districts from fighting one another, or worse, fighting the capital. After this one victor remains he/she goes back to their district to live the rest of their life in peace and riches. This is called The Hunger Games.

Kept dozing off in the middle of the movie and couldn’t stay focused.
Most parts of the movie were really good but had more down parts to it.
Some parts of the movie could have been better but it was still really good.
Kept me fully entertained and I didn’t want the movie to end.

Evidence: I give this movie a 4/4 for entertainment. This movie keeps you on your toes through the whole movie and I never got bored with it. When you think things are going to slow down they don’t. This movie is a very exciting movie. It’s exciting because you never know what’s around the corner. Some of the things that happen, you don’t realize it’s going to happen.

Did the actors work good together

The actors didn’t work well together and could have done a lot better.
Some actors worked well together and all the others didn’t.
Only a few of the actors didn’t work well together.
All the actors made the movie come together and worked excellent together.

Evidence: I gave the actors a 4/4. I believe that the actors worked well together. When you think about who should act in this movie, you don’t think of any other actors that could have filled that roll. All the actors worked very well together and I liked the chemistry that all the actors had together. It also helps that the actors have had other jobs before this one so they are experienced. The best actor from this movie, in my opinion, is Katniss ( Jennifer Lawrence ). She follows her role very well compared to the book.

It was to short or long.
It was to short or long but the movie was okay.
It could have been longer or shorter but was a good length.
It was just the right length.

Evidence: I give the length of the movie a 3/4. The length of the movie was okay. I think they could have made it longer if they wanted too but it was a good length. If it would have been longer it could have made it boring. Movies are usually 2 hours long so the movie fits into that range, but with everything going on in this movie I feel like it could have been longer. If they would have made it a shorter movie I feel like they would have left things out and it would have ended up being a bad movie.

The movie was nothing like the book.

The movie followed the book exactly.

Evidence: I gave this movie a 3/4 for following the book. This movie did really well with sticking to the movie. There was some little thing left out of the movie that were in the book, like the cat in the movie was a different color than the cat in the book. They also left out a part that was in the book but wasn’t in the movie, it was when Katniss went into the woods to her father’s cabin. Some of these things are little things but you can tell if you pay attention.

How well did you like the movie 1 2 3 4 I didn’t like this movie at all. It was an okay movie. It was a good movie but not my favorite. It is my favorite movie.

It has a little love story which makes it a nice couples movie. It is overall a great movie to watch with friends and family. Overall I give this movie a 3/4 . This movie is one of my favorite movies and I really feel like it should get this rating.

The filmThis film is the adaptation of a literary trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I didn't read them, I have no particular intention of doing that, so I will ignore the books and focus on the film. And what I have to say is very positive.

The film brings a dystopian view of humanity: Panem is a nation divided into 12 districts, where people live and work to sustain the luxury and power of the ruling and social elite, who lives in the Capital. After a brutal civil war, the elite set up the Hunger Games in memory of that carnage, and to remember the loyalty that each district owes to the Capital. In the games, which are a mix of Big Brother, FIFA World Cup and "Apocalypse Now", two teenagers (male and female) from each district fight to the death, or better say, try to keep on living until everyone has died. This film tells us the gaming experience of Katniss Everdeen, a young woman from District 12 who offers herself in the place of her younger sister.

There is some details in this film that I think are not well explained. One of them is the title: was there hunger? The whole environment around who is Katniss and what her life was like in District 12 before the reaping seems too chalky to be clear. That's a big problem but if we chose to ignore it the film flows, and it does it wonderfully after the reaping scene. One of the things that most caught my attention is the similarity between Panem and the ancient Rome, either by the character's names, the environment of the Capital, or by the idea of having deadly games as entertainment (kind of modern gladiators, you see?), whether by using the eagle as a symbol of power. The similarity is evident... and purposeful.

Jennifer Lawrence proved to be perfectly up to the challenge and maintains a good cooperation with Josh Hutcherson, who is never quite as interesting as she is. Lawrence also makes a very good work when she shares the screen with Willow Shields, who gave life to Primrose. The romantic interest in Liam Hemsworth's character, however, is as cold as winter. In the supporting cast, we can highlight the good performances of Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Toby Jones, Lenny Kravitz, Amandla Stenberg and, most especially, a huge Donald Sutherland, cold and majestic in the shoes of the dictator Snow. At first glance, Stanley Tucci seems histrionic and annoying, but if we look at his character as a satire of a thousand and one talk and reality show hosts around the world, his work acquires another consistency and relevance.

In addition to a great cast and a good story, the film has excellent production values: careful cinematography with good contrast, but which fails to abuse the unstable camera movement; excellent sets and costumes, good CGI and sound effects. The soundtrack deserves a special mention for its effectiveness and beauty. Composed by James Newton Howard, it is one of those that remains in the ear long after we have seen the film.

Full of action and with an excellent story, this film may not be perfect but it left good premises for the sequel that inevitably happened. It is worth seeing, but I don't know how much younger children are prepared to see and, above all, to understand the story told.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first in the thriller "Hunger games" series. The director is Gary Ross, also he has directed other films for teens. The main actors are Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) and Jushua Hutcherson (Peeta)
Every year state organize demonstration of survival games, which people from all over the world watch live. This year the game has chosen 16 years old Ketniss and her friend Peeta, who loves her, but it is a big secret. They have to become enemies and friendship since childhood has no matter. Only one of 24 players can win. For characters this is an effort to survive, for the audience this is a show.
The best thing about the film is the plot (written by Suzanne Collins), which is extremely exciting. The sounds and decorations create a complete picture. The performances are great too!
In general, I would recommend this film. I suppose it is too perfect. It is one of the most impressive movies, which I have seen.… Expand

Jannifer Lawrence tem um desempenho bom no filme. Não é dos seus melhores, mas é ainda sim satisfatório. Woody Harrelson e Alexander Ludwig também fazem um bom trabalho.

A atmosfera distópica do filme é sustentável, visto a profundidade maior abordada nos filmes posteriores. Os personagens são desinteressantes em suma maioria. Não são trabalhados da maneira correta, acarretando numa artificialidade muito pseudo-psicopata, apelando para a desumanização. A trilha sonora é ausente e os efeitos especiais, para a época, não são ruins. E a temática me lembra muito o "Battle Royale", que na época do lançamento do livro, nem sonhava em ser uma febre.… Expand

The only bad thing about the movie, in my opinion, is that thereThe Hunger Games is a good and action-packed movie with a little love story at its core. I've never read the books of "The Hunger Games", but I thought it was a great movie!

The only bad thing about the movie, in my opinion, is that there was hardly any character development. But this could be because I didn't read the books. A pity anyway!
There are no other complaints on my part. The story is well staged and very understandable. The acting performance is wonderful. Especially by Jennifer Lawrence.
At the beginning one is slowly introduced into the movie, but this is no problem. This makes the story easy to understand. Then the movie becomes more and more thrilling during the course of the story. The "Hunger Games" are also very well done. In the games you also see a little violence, but not too much. At least the violence shouldn't be the focus, but the "Hunger Games" themselves. The movie also has a little love story at its core (of which I don't want to anticipate too much), which is also sweetly brought to a close.

Conclusion: The Hunger Games is not a movie you MUST have seen. But it's a good movie! From my side I can recommend the film with a clear conscience!… Expand

I wrote this movie off before I even watched it. I thought it was in the twilight vein and I just didn’t find the author credible when she denied reading or watching battle royale.

I thought it was in the twilight vein and I just didn’t find the author credible when she denied reading or watching battle royale. In my eyes it would have been totally cool if she said she got the base idea there and developed her story around it and took it further. Many authors do this and produce amazing work. I got past that and decided to watch the movie, it’s good and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.… Expand

For someone who never read the books I went into this blindly and I was not disappointed, there is enough action and heartfelt moments to keep the film going along, an enjoyable film I recommend it

Pomysł ciekawy, wykonaniu już niekoniecznie. Pełno klisz i znanych tropów + jeszcze trzęsąca się kamera i średniej jakości efekty specjalne. Typowy blockbuster

A sad but beautiful movie. I enjoy every bit of this movie. It may be messed up in a lot of ways, but that's just the worldbuilding of this dystopia. The Hunger Games shocked me. It told a story that needed to be told.

This movie is still really good all this time later. Great themes and knows how to pace itself just right.

First chapter of the saga, a beautiful children's film structured like a video game. Film in its own way inspiring and that manages to lay a good foundation for the whole saga.
