Thrilling, unpredictable and absolutely entertaining!

Aside from the emotional part where Katniss volunteered to become a Tribute in place of her sister, Prim, my other favourite part is when Katniss and Peeta (who was hurt) were in a cave in the Hunger Games arena. Katniss tricked Peeta into sleeping and went to the Cornucopia to find medicine for him.

The movie has a great plot and exceptional actors to assist it. I believe that the actors chosen for this movie worked well with their characters. Jennifer Lawrence played as the lead role – Katniss Everdeen, the girl who was on fire – and Josh Hutcherson played as Peeta Mellark – Katniss’ co-Tribute from District 12.

This story is about 24 teenagers picked to play in the Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death. The soundtrack for this movie is extraordinarily perfect for each scene. I think the soundtrack is important because it sets the mood for the movie. I’ve watched this movie several times and I don’t think I was able to find anything unlikable about it.

I think this is a great movie, enjoyable for ages thirteen and up (I’m only 11 when I watched this and I liked it! 🙂 ). It has short violent scenes, so it might not be good for younger children. I find it dramatic, intriguing and left me with a cliff-hanger that made me want for more.

As Effie Trinket always says, “May the odds be ever in your favour.”

That’s all folks! Please leave a comment… and don’t forget to “like” my post on Facebook/Twitter! Thanks!
