The first of the movie franchise of the highly-anticipated The Hunger Games trilogy has been a blockbuster since its release last March. Fans had been ecstatic and couldn't hide their excitement as they look for scoops not just on filming updates, but also on the leading stars' personal lives. Being a fan of the books myself, I was really looking forward to the movie. This will be The Hunger Games review, in which I'll talk about both the book and the film.
Written by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games revolves around a television show in which tributes from the twelve districts of future America will fight to death until one remains as a victor. Katniss Everdeen volunteers as a tribute, replacing her younger sister who has been chosen to represent her district. Everything becomes more complicated when she becomes the love interest of Peeta Mellark, the boy tribute of her district.
The book series has already created a stir among several book lovers. It is a science-fiction and adventure read with a sprinkle of romance. And definitely, the love triangle has made it all the more interesting. We can't hide the fact that female teens are into romances and The Hunger Games is just the perfect book to read.
The book has gained a positive reception. Everyone who has read it felt that it was brilliantly written, and who wouldn't? The plot is very original and it also tackles controversial issues like poverty, inequality of social status, and freedom. It is not a surprise that affirmative The Hunger Games reviews have also circulated online.
The film adaptation is absolutely not far behind from the success of the book series. It seems that the odds are also in favour of The Hunger Games movie. Even people, especially teens, who haven't read the books, had gone to theatres just to watch and know what the fuss is all about, and after which they shared their thoughts and positive responses on social networking sites. I have also read many The Hunger Games reviews describing the movie as a great and entertaining watch.
The movie definitely didn't disappoint the audiences. I was hooked and thrilled with each scene. The visual effects were riveting. The action scenes were heart-pounding. Watching the splendour and the eccentricity of the Capitol was very enjoyable. The movie, which runs for two hours and ten minutes, never had any dull moment.
However, there were notable differences between the book and the film adaptation. The character development was lacking and some scenes that I have been waiting for were not shown. For instance, the film did not highlight that the mutts were actually the genetically-altered bodies of the dead tributes.
Overall, the movie was a huge success. The book's own appeal, combined with intensive promotions, has undeniably made this possible. Positive comments and The Hunger Games reviews have only added to the success of the franchise. I'm sure everyone now is looking forward to the next installment.
