The Hunger Games Review

So I went to see "The Hunger Games about two weeks ago (yeah took me this long to right this).Any way,the movie was great.Come on what is better than teenagers killing each other?Of course that is not what the hole story is about (if you have read all three books you would understand.The movie takes place in the ruins of what used to be North America.Instead of states,America is divide into twelve districts (1-12 of course) and the Capital ( which is in The Rocky Mountains).Since the districts rebelled against the Capital,Distict 13 was presumably destroyed and every year each district has to offer two tributes (one male and one female)between the ages of 12-18 to fight in the annual Hunger Games.The story starts out with Katniss,a sixteen yearold girl that has a younger sister named Primrose (or Prim) and a mother.It is Prim's first time to be possibly picked for the Hunger Games.When Prim's name is drawn,Katniss volunteers in place of Prim to fight in the games.The male from Distict 12 is Peeta and immediately you get a hint that the two have a past connection.So Katniss and Peeta go off to the Capital along with Effie (the representative of District 12) and Haymitch (the only winner of The hunger Games from District Twelve That is still alive).After interviews and training sessions,all of the tributes are sent to the arena to fight to the death.Notable tributes are : Glimmer,Marvel,Cato,Clove,Foxface,Rue,Thresh,and of course Katniss and Peeta.One thing leads to another and the only tributes left alive are Katniss,Peeta,and Cato.Earlier in the movie head gamemaker Senesca Crane decided to change the rules to make a more interesting show.The new rule states that two tributes can survive as long as they are from the same district.Unfortunately for Cato,Clove was killed earlier in the games.Katniss kills Cato and her and Peeta are the only two tributes left alive.The rules are changed back to the original and Katniss and Peeta threaten to eat poison berries.Crane allows the two to live and is executed for this decision.President Snow ( the dictator of Panem) sees the event as an act of rebellion and you can see that he is not through with his quest to end this possible rebellion.

 

Over all I give the movie 4.5 stars out of 5.
