Based on the best-selling books by Suzanne Collins, THE HUNGER GAMES is the first film in the franchise. Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister’s place and must rely upon her sharp instincts when she’s pitted against highly trained Tributes who have prepared their entire lives. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

I did not have the good fortune of reading the book THE HUNGER GAMES until after I viewed the film, which being a sci-fi, adventure, thriller kind of gal I thoroughly enjoyed.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Collins' involvement enables the movie to retain the themes and tone of the novel while still delivering an exciting and interesting drama/thriller that works on the big screen. For those who don't know the

I confess that for all my issues with the film (and there are many), I more impressed at how much it got right.

The first film in this franchise is really fun. Yes, it is long, but with the smaller budget the filmmaking is really strong and the emotional beats do work.

Whatever objections one might have about the execution, it’s a compelling story that’s been made into a serviceable film.
