The Hunger Games

Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place for the latest match.

I was skeptical about this film, as a Battle Royale faithful i thought that it was too much similarity like a lot of people.

But i believe there is room for both these film, i really enjoyed it and it left me hungry for more (boom boom!) Its less gory than RB and more about the relationships the contestants. Id describe it as RB meets Running Man but a cert 12a ( so, no Arnie cutting people up with a chainsaw.)

The participants in the Hunger Games are between 12-18 a boy and a girl from 12 districts and have a few days to learn basic survival skills before they are pitted against each other. Part entertainment, and retribution for a past rebellion. They can gain sponsour from people ie (rich people) who can send them items which they require.

With a little interfering from the production crew of the Hunger Games to make it more exciting to the viewers by adding dangers, who will survive?

I give it 4/5 and cant wait for the next film!
