The Hunger Games (2012)
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. The world will be watching.

- Alanalmost 12 yearsI Teared Up When the Little Girl Died And I'm A Boy. Saddest Movie I Have Ever Watched.
the movie was great a lot of blood and gore the book was even better than the movie but the movie was great too
I've only read the first book but it was Great! the movie: FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!- sualmost 12 yearsIt was like the best action movie i have ever seen, but compared to the books, the WHOLE series, it is sooo corny and boring and it lacks emotion and romance. but it is still the best and i cant wait for Catching Fire and Mockingjay..
It was good, and I mean REALLY good for a movie, but for all those people who say reading is bad, read this book, actually read the series, because the movie is TERRIBLE compared to the book! And YES I CAN compare it to the book since it was pretty much a moving CHEAP VERSION of it!! (though the person you go to play Katniss wasn't a bad choice.......)
Maybe it might kind of violent for younger kids but it is very dramatic and romantic while it makes you wonder what's coming next.
