The Hunger Games first installment was worth paying for. Let me begin there. Even though it had the acting along the lines of Twilight (only better); the costumes from Too Wong Foo; the scenery and cameras from Truman Show; and the feel of Minority Report, this was a new movie and adaptation to the book. If you have read the book, and enjoyed it, don't hold your breath. It seems to be a story of the 13 colonies (in the US) and their two senators fighting for their lives! (or am I reading way too much into this story, lol)
The movie provided a good story line, expedited by some quick scrolling text prior to the movie, and some hasty editing for the final product (we still are left with 2 hours and 22 minutes of movie.) The crowd was engaged with emotion, we cringed, and even jumped at some of the scenes in this PG-13 blockbuster. If only it had an R rating, the scenes and language could have been more genuine and intense. We get a moderated version of what could be better.
There is little to fault in the film. It is easy to follow, embraces love, companionship, survival, poverty, life, and an overall "Survivor" game show feel. America will love it!
Hunger Games can pull 4 out of 5 Cyclones on a stretch. Do it. Go see it. Enjoy the movie.
