Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Radheyan Simonpillai (471) for AskMen.com (164) on 20 Mar 2012

Twilight this is not, and Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen ain't Bella lusting after Edward…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By R. Kurt Osenlund (158) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Mar 2012

The Hunger Games is more notable for the holes it doesn't fall into than the great heights it reaches…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 20 Mar 2012

A film that transforms a popular work of teen fiction not just by faithfully exploring its themes but, more important, by proving those themes…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for Associated Press (1,685) on 20 Mar 2012

The Hunger Games runs nearly two and a half hours in length but is the rare film that never drags and doesn't overstay its welcome…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Heather Wixson (312) for Dread Central (388) on 20 Mar 2012

The Hunger Games looks poised to usher in a brand new hit franchise and deserves all the credit it gets for its confrontational subject matter…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Philippa Hawker (221) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 20 Mar 2012

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 20 Mar 2012

A muscular, honorable, unflinching translation of Collins' vision. It's brutal where it needs to be, particularly when children fight and bleed…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Movieline (883) on 20 Mar 2012

Although I wasn't always blown away by the film and/or its various elements, for the most part I was engaged by the tale…

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 20 Mar 2012
