I have never been this moved. The sequel Hunger Games : Catching Fire has more thrills. It has enough action and emotion that will appeal to both old and young. It is worth your 146 minutes.
Based on Suzanne Collin's best-selling trilogy, the cast is impeccable. Katniss Everdeen played by Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence delivered well. The supporting cast is made of brilliant veteran talent such as Donald Sutherland, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks and Stanley Tucci. The fresh blood like Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth played their part adequately.
Directed by Francis Lawrence ( I am Legend ), the movie started slow as it build the characters and discuss some socio-political issues relevant to our time. During the first fifteen minutes, my wife whispered " This is dark and gloomy." But it ended with satisfying intense action sequences. As expected, it will make you want for more. Too bad we'd have to wait for a year to see the third installment, Mockingjay Part 1.
Some aspects that made the movie great are excellent setting like the high tech arena and extravagant costumes worn.With interesting romance and excellent acting, my rating is 4 out of 5 stars.
I have not read the book yet. After watching this movie, it made me want to read it. I heard there were some interesting scenes omitted. For those who have read it, share with us what you think.
