The movie hunger games are about these twelve districts that must pick two people, one boy and one girl from the district. The movie focuses on district twelve, where there was a young girl who was picked but the girls older sister decided that she is too young to be involved so she volunteers herself instead. The girl and the young man from district twelve are then brought to the capital where they are supposed to meet people that could possibly be there sponsors. Not much of a sociable person the girl must do other things to impress the sponsors. Both the boy and girl learn many secrets about the games from their mentor, who is a previous hunger games player. Jennifer Lawrence who plays Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen had a very good performance as she plays the part for the contender of the hunger games. She shows great emotion, she plays the part and was a great contribution to the movie. The other boy from district twelve was played by Josh Hutcherson, who was also a good actor for the part but did show as much emotion and didn’t get into character as much as his co-actor katniss everdeen. Katniss was a caring person when it came to family, when she volunteered for her sister. But strong hearted and strong willed when it comes to the hunger games. She is a very good hunter with a bow and arrow but doesn’t feel the need to kill. You should take from this movie that winning isn’t everything even though the guy who had trained his whole life for these games and just about killed everyone in the games he still lost because his bad choices throughout the movie. “A faithful adap, a grown-up teen movie and flaming good entertainment. The big test for the franchise lies ahead with the uneven second and third ...” said by "Movie ShowTime’s." - Google Search. Web. 23 Apr. 2012. . I agree with the critics that it’s a good movie for teens and that it’s the best sci-fi movie that has been released in years. But I don’t understand why they say the real test is when they come out with second and third because the first one is always the best so I believe they should leave it just as is. In my opinion I would recommend this movie if your into action and sci-fi, overall a great movie.
