Basically, I really have to admit that when I first saw the trailer, I was really wondering how intriguing and controversial the movie might be, the idea of hunting humans for game, that is really kind of big-brother-sort-of-next-level thing but to my surprise I really find the movie interesting.

The main character who is Katniss Everdeen played by Jennifer Lawrence which as far as i know the one who played Mystique in X-Men movies was really in character and for me have succeeded in carrying the main role. Jennifer Lawrence is terrific in the lead role and deliberately formed an atmosphere most fitted for the movie. The supporting players carve out memorable characters just like Liam Hemsworth, Stanley Tucci and Josh Hutcherson. The fantastic musical score, costume designs and makeup are the other strengths.

The movie has some glitches because the filming was too shaky and had to many close up shots of the characters and In addition to, it was blurry and just not filmed well in my opinion. You couldn't even see the end fight very well it was so shaky and jumbled up. This movie has a fair amount of violence where they took cast ages 9 and younger but still the movie has a fantastic ending and you will enjoy it.

Nonetheless, the movie has a lot to offer and I highly recommend it to all especially to those people who are fond of thrilling-romantic-adventurous-atmosphere-type movies.
