#135 - The Hunger Games (2012) Review


The Hunger Games (2012), Gary Ross
3/5

This film was still enjoyable although it has a number of flaws. Aside from obvious deviations from the book, Jennifer Lawrence wasn't the greatest in her role as Katniss. Also the shaky camera movements were distracting, detracting from the story and pandered to the need to tone down the violence of children, which defeats the purpose of the story. I was also disappointed by the big name supporting cast, especially Donald Sutherland, who just lacked the cold creepiness he was trying to evoke. Overall still enjoyable action movie.
