The Hunger games: Hungry for more.

When we talk about modern hits the first thing that comes to mind is Harry Potter, however, I'm not gonna talk about Harry Potter, I'm going to talk about "The Hunger Games", a series which has gained a lot of popularity with little to no advertising.

I went and watched the movie with high expectations, book to movie adaptations seem to be one of the few things that Hollywood is good at these days and they definitely showed it off with this flick. The amazing special effects and great actors really showed off during this.

When it comes to the story itself, it sets itself in a post-modern era, where kids are sent to a game where they kill each other off in order to entertain an audience, this is something risky to bring into film, as there will always be people who find this offensive, however, the movie does a great job at not only portraying the seriousness of all this but also making it entertaining.

If I had to complain about one thing I would complain about the camera work, it is far too shaky in the action scenes, making it almost impossible to see, this takes off some of the value for the action scenes, making them more of a chore rather than a fun experience.

Overall the movie does a really good job entertaining and keeping your attention through the whole movie, I definitely recommend going and watching it. And if you want to read the books as well.
