The Hunger Games (2012)
Directed by Gary Ross
this film based on the novel of the same name stars Jennifer
Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks. In
the future a 16 year old girl volunteers to take her younger sisters
place in a battle to the death between representatives of different
districts.
This film comes with a
lot of hype but it never convinced me of the world it was trying to
create or properly explained the status quo. I also thought it was a
little weak that the protagonist was rarely the driving force, often
following the ideas of others and mostly had the hard moral choices
removed from her. The direction of the fight sequences was a little
annoying when it came to hand to hand combat but otherwise it was a
well made film with some decent performances.
3/5
