Notices
Add NoticesViolence: Some images might not be suitable for younger ages: a girl gets killed by tracker jackers and is all puffed up (it is really gross)
Frightening or Intense Scenes: Painful wounds and the threat of deadly peril are constants in this movie. The girl stung by the tracker jackers and the dying twelve year old are particularly upsetting.

"Nice shooting sweetheart," - Haymitch

Summary
Add a SummaryIn the Distant Future lies the ruins of North America. What remains of North America is called Panem, home to the Capitol and all it's 12 districts. Dating back to the Dark Days where the Rebels tried to take over, the Capitol "maintains" control over the districts by forcing their districts to choose 1 boy and 1 girl to participate in the Capitol's Annual Hunger Games. The hunger games is a televised arena death match that airs live on TV. There can only be 1 victor in the Hunger Games.
Comment
Add a CommentUnintentionally funny. Notice the train that never stops, you have to jump on while it goes by, like a Depression hobo. You could record a new comedy sound track for this and call it The Hungover Games.
The main idea of this movie is that teenagers hunt and kill each other in combat. Supposedly, there is famine and poverty and people are struggling to survive. I did not understand how these Tributes were treated to lavish buffet banquets with all you can eat food and drinks. In the movie, they also show the wealthy sponsors feasting on a large roasted pig. *****How can there be a famine if there are vast amounts of food available? Also, why do the poor and downtrodden put up with this garbage and they sheepishly send their sons and daughters to be slaughtered like lambs? Worst of all, this senseless campaign of butchery and murder is televised for people's entertainment. What is the purpose of the Hunger Games? Are the Hunger Games supposed to divert people's attention from their horrible living conditions? The movie said that the winning Tribute would be bathed in riches. Exactly how much money did Katniss and Peeta get for killing the other teenagers in this movie? I think this movie raised many questions that made me wonder about what story line is in the movie sequel.
A good movie, but I feel that it didn't quite capture the magic of the novel. I found it lacking Katniss's thoughts
An outstanding story and film. Loved it!
Co-written and directed by Gary Ross in 2012 based on Suzanne Collins’s 2008 novel of the same name, this American SF drama depicts the adventure in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future in the nation of Panem.
Foolish and disgusting is an elaborate televised fight to the death.
It looks like a copy of the Japanese novel Battle Royale and its film adaptation.
I just don't like the story.
This is a cool movie, but I was sad when Rue died.
All the Hunger Games films in this series were brilliantly made, brilliantly directed.
💖 great movie
Great series!
