The Hunger Games

First off, I apologize for not posting any reviews for nearly a year, I have just been too busy trying to improve the quality of the content I put on the blog. Now, for the review.

This movie was pretty cool. I had read the book before seeing this and I have to say that there are definitely some scenes in the book that I wish that they had kept in the movie. While the book was better than the movie (obviously the books will always be better than the movies), the cast, crew, and director did a very good job with what they were given.

The movie is directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, two teenagers living in a post apocalyptic United States, that are drafted into a televised event, known as The Hunger Games, in which kids between the ages of 12 and 18 kill each other.

Just from the above paragraph, it sounds like a brutal movie, which it is in some scenes. I give it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.
