The Hunger Games



A good watch. Nothing extraordinary. However a gripping watch :)
Pluses:
  • Jennifer Lawrence as "Katniss Everdeen" , she was the soul of the movie from the first scene till the last.
  • Josh Hutcherson as " Peeta Mellark" , did a good job. However, he felt a little secondary as the female lead dominated.
  • I personally liked the charcter of the mentor "Haymitch" played by Woody Harrelson and his attitude in the movie was just perfectly carried out. :)
  • The story line was gripping, so you really dont get bored.
  • Thankully, this flick was not attempted in 3D, spared. :)
Minuses:
  • Rest of all the actors were kind of wasted, none had much to perform.
  • Script was pretty much predictable right from the beginning. It couldnt create a good hold discovering whats next to come.
  • Romantic angle was so forced, it almost felt so Bollywood.
  • A reality show in true sense, so much drama and so much of entertaintment. I meant it all sarcastically :)

My rating: 2.5/5
