I can't wistle
The Hunger Games is directed by Gary Ross and is a film adaptation of the popular novel that I am 3/4 done with. It also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harelson, and Elizibeth Banks. First of all, this movie is very good but not as good as Chronicle in my opinion. The acting in this movie is outstanding, everyone is awesome in this movie even though most the actors who play the tributes are unknowns. The plot is that something happened to North America and it's remaining land is split into 13 districts but district thirteen got kind of destroyed. There are people who are rich and make a gladiator type event where 24 children fight to the death and only one can win called the Hunger Games. I loved seeing the Capitol just come right out of the pages. I heard that it took like 4 hours for all the people to get their Capitol makeup on. I don't like the actual Hunger Games because I can't buy that someone would watch kids get their throats sliced and think that is cool. That is a little too far. If it were adults, then it would make more sense. I also feel that kids getting killed in a book is better but I'm not sure. The deaths are too fast and some scenes from the book that are like 3 to 4 chapters were so short. If you have read the book or seen the movie, this might be a spoiler so go to the next paragraph if you haven't seen it ,the cave scene wher Katniss helps Peeta was very rushed and I think it should've been like 3 minutes longer at least.
I didn't like Gary Ross's take on the fights because he uses a shaky camera. I honestly thought that Katniss got killed like 5 times and I couldn't see what was going on. Anyway, this movie is okay, not the best or worst, I am going to give the Hunger Games a 8/10.
