The Hunger Games (2012)

Disclaimer: Must read these books! This movie was even better watching it for the second time in my living room! Granted I read all three books in less than 3 weeks time, I fell in love. If your looking for a love story, stop. This isn't some teeny bopper twilight ridiculous love type of saga. This is a story about a post apocalyptic "America" where the government controls all, (oh wait that's happening now, ok so we can all relate!), and a teenage girl just happens to get wrapped up in the middle becoming a symbol of freedom and rebellion. There are a few things left out of the movie, but understandable. Katniss Everdeen, our heroine, played by Jennifer Lawrence is amazing!! (Again fell in love!) She really nailed the emotions of what it would be like to be picked to fight to the death. The supporting characters are not as interesting by a long shot. The CG could have been better which gives me hope for a bigger budgeted follow up. (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) I just loved the whole thing, the book concept and the relation from print to screen. Above all the fact the this could happen, it's a great sci-fi make-you-think type of movie! "May the odds be ever in your favor".
