The Hunger Games movie review.

Although this is the movie I will still review it. I last read The Hunger Games Trilogy about a year ago but just saw the movie.

Movie Description:
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil 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. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. 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.

Differences of the book and the movie:-Madge Undersee(Katniss's friend) is not mentioned in the movie. Instead of Madge giving Katniss the Mockingjay pin, Katniss is given it from a lady at 'The Hob'.

-The rebellion in District 11 starts after Rue dies instead of starting at the end of the movie.

-Katniss and Peeta dont notice the comparisons of the Muttations and the 21 dead tributes.

My thoughts:
I think the book for this movie was much better because it was much more gruesome. I still thought the movie was great but it could have better if they adapted to be even more like the book.

Rating of The Hunger Games: 5/5
