Review of The Hunger Games (2012) by Donny S — 06 Dec 2018

An Underdog Story.

Movie Review of The Hunger Game written directed by Gary Ross.

The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross is a pg-13 dystopian movie where there are 12 districts and every year a guy and a girl that are randomly picked to play in the games. In the games, the people from the different districts try to kill all of the other members in the games to come out alive. If they survive the games, they become famous and get money. The Hunger Games is an underdog story because it is about Katniss going against the gouvernment and all the odds.

The Hunger Games is an interesting action filled movie. The movie starts slowly with the character development with Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist in district 12. She lives in a small house with only her mom and her young sister, she leaves district 12 frequently to hunt for food,and her friend pushes her to leave and do something greater. District 12 is one of the poorest districts heavily controlled by the government, and district 1 is the richest and can control the government. In district one they are all trained to fight in the games, so there is already an underdog sensation for Katniss at the beginning of the movie. The movie is confusing when Katniss is with her family. The movie gives Katniss a mother effect when she is with her younger sister even though they already have a mother. In the movie, it has unrealistic details such as when Katniss gets the liquid from the tree using a machine or when it shows Katniss climbing the tree without using any ropes to help, but just the scene before it shows here bring week and hurting. The movie is inconsistent with Katniss's ability.

The Hunger Games has its negatives, but it also has its positives. The action and the character development is consistently well balanced. That helps the viewer not get tired of the action, and it makes the character development wanted so that the viewer can understand the question and so they do not miss any details. The fighting scenes are also well done. The fight scenes are heavily detailed and creative. The movie gives s feeling the Katniss is an underdog which makes it easy to enjoy and cheer for her. The story is unique, which is a risk but turned out to be beneficial in getting the viewer interested.

The Hunger Games is a great underdog story, where Katniss goes against all the odds. I would give this book a 3 out of 5 because the balance of action and character development and the, but it is lazy and unrealistic when it comes to the small details. This book is for all ages that like an action-filled underdog story, this book is not for nitpickers for a movie being realistic, and which could anger the viewer. The Hunger Games is a thrilling, action-packed movie, where people have to go into an arena where they are watched to kill each other.
