Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Ariel Katz (6) for The Vine (179) on 20 Mar 2012

Ross has successfully dissected and expanded the book and produced something that works as a film -- so long as you're not too precious about…

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

There's action here, too, and a great deal of vitality that feels true both to the spirit of Collins' book and to the idea of movie entertainment…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Don Groves (134) for sbs.com.au (697) on 20 Mar 2012

Jennifer Lawrence commands the screen in smart, thrilling, dystopian sci-fi adventure…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By David Poland (216) for Movie City News (162) on 20 Mar 2012

Why is the movie like eating the white of a hard boiled egg with no salt, pepper, or any other flavor except white…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 20 Mar 2012

If the movie had a lead actress more delicate or malleable than the strong-cheeked Lawrence-a Natalie Portman, say-it would tip over into sexy-girl-killer…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Jim Judy (1,199) for Screen It! (1,437) 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…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

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

Should please fans, but leave them wondering what an alternate version might have looked like that wasn't afraid to get its hands dirty…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 20 Mar 2012

Courage and sacrifice are the themes of this futuristic thriller, fantasy and video game that are mashed up into one hell of a tasty package…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Dwight Brown (181) for National Newspaper Publishers Association (180) on 20 Mar 2012

[Lawrence's] performance and the lead character almost make up for watching a 12-year old girl take a spear through the heart and die. But not quite…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon.com (2,725) on 20 Mar 2012

The Hunger Games has some cool moments here and there, and is never entirely dreadful. Lawrence is both radiant and triumphant…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Kathleen Murphy (78) for MSN Movies (470) on 20 Mar 2012

ADD auds won't mind that there's no time to get to know anybody, or watch a relationship unfold, or ride the dramatic rise and swell of a compelling…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

Like the pacing of the novel, the film, even at almost two and a half hours, moves briskly, continuously drawing us in…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Sci-Fi Movie Page (492) on 20 Mar 2012

Lawrence, who came to notice in the art house hit 'Winter's Bone,' is sensational as Katniss, ably carrying the weight of the film on her shoulders…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 20 Mar 2012

An effective entertainment, and Jennifer Lawrence is strong and convincing in the central role…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Duane Dudek (861) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 20 Mar 2012

Lawrence was nominated for an Oscar as a backwoods girl in the independent film Winter's Bone, and she gives this character a similar feral…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Shaun Munro (472) for What Culture (594) on 20 Mar 2012

Derivative and overlong for sure, The Hunger Games still has just enough bite for teens likely to find Battle Royale a little too unwieldy…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 20 Mar 2012

The Hunger Games represents the best first book adaptation of any of the three series…
