    The Hunger Games

    Reviewed by

    If you want irony, this movie is for you. Let me explain: The movie revolves around a group of twenty-four young people who are forced to kill one another as a form of entertainment and in commemoration of past social upheaval. We are supposed to understand that such a form of entertainment is evil, but we are sitting in a theater being entertained by the very thing the movie urges us to despise! This thought has made me uncomfortable about having watching the movie. In any case, uncomfortable irony aside, the movie ended being just "okay." Characters were poorly developed and the jumping, jiggling filming style was very irritating. I enjoyed the books much more than I did this film rendition.

    I had the same thought about the irony of watching and being entertained by something that is supposedly so despicable and taboo. Having really enjoyed the books, I have to go see the movies, and I hope my expectations are met! On another note, I like your reviews; you seem to have a balanced view of the movies you watch, with a range of ratings from 1 to 9, and no 10's! I can't stand people who have no judgement and rate everything as 10. In looking back at my own ratings I seem to have a few more 10's than I should.
