Watch The Hunger Games For Free

Waste of time

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Blistering performances.

I remember loving this movie when it first came out to the cinemas in my early twenties. Now I'm in my late twenties and rewatching this movie, and it feels dull. Perhaps my perspective had changed with age; I'm no longer the target audience for this kind of fare. Perhaps this is a watch-once-and-forget type of movie; and watching it a 2nd time was my mistake. In any case, I recommend this movie only to the Young Adult and New Adult audiences and only for a one time watch on a lazy Friday night. It's not exactly a master piece.

This is a watered down copy of Battle Royale which was unique and entertaining as hell! Honestly, I had to watch this silliness due to a sleepover and, I just wanted to turn it off and let the kids watch the far superior Kinji Fukasaku movie instead. However, the kids were only 9 which is about the age cap on this piece of ripped off crap.

The Hunger Games has become a household name in pop-cultural life, and this film is an entertaining introduction to a broadly-appealing yet well done dystopia not too far off the brutality of Battle Royale or The Running Man. It's not Twilight (thank Christ for that) and thankfully it's got a better romantic triangle than any of that vampire hogwash had going for it.This series is like a millennial-appealing take on other sci-fi dystopias ranging from George Orwell's 1984 to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World; where those stories explored totalitarianism in more subversive ways this one shows how extreme things can get when violence is thrown into the equation.Considering this came out in 2012 and people are STILL saying whether or not this ripped off Battle Royale I think that those addresses are fair, and that it doesn't suffer from the pre-established derivativeness of something like Divergent (which apparently carbon-copied the story so much the films themselves were distributed by Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment).Anyway, this film is an adaptation of a book that was craving a movie based on it, and it's a good action flick focusing on young men and women trying to survive the worst to-the-death scenario you could possibly imagine.

Uses future dystopian society like a lot of other stories which is a great background to use but changes some things. They select two tributes from twelve districts male and female in between 12 and 18 to fight to the death in and arena due to rebellion against the capitol. Constantly entertaining with action. I understand making the movie PG- 13 since many kids read the book including me who was only 13 when the movie came out. They did a great job at making it PG-13 and keeping it to the story.
