Not as good as the book I liked this movie. It's not as good as the book. But, what movie ever is? There are subtle changes in the movie adaptation. Some of the changes were completely unnecessary. Still, very entertaining.

Good movie! I enjoyed the movie. I have read the book also and although there were differences, the movie still kept me engaged and wanting more

Enjoyable I enjoyed this movie. It is definitely geared more towards teens, but the storyline is nonetheless interesting.

I remember when the first movie came out my friends were so excited about it. i did not understand why and their eagerness to watch the movie annoyed me so i had never watched these movies up until last year and OMG!!!!! they are amazing!!! i love these movies. Jennifer Laurance is the main actress in the movie and volenteers herself to participate in the hunger games games because her little sisters name was randomly selected for her to go. it really is a great movie. i 100% recommend it.

Good idea, it shows how rich people can be bad, and how they use poor people for fun.

It was an interesting recreation of the books and the casting could not be more perfect

Good I thought the movie was good. It was entertaining and held my attention.

Good Read I read the book first but the movie is quite entertaining. It kept my attention. It followed the details in the book pretty well. There was good suspense.

This movie was fantastic, and stayed incredibly true to its source material, which could be attributed to Hunger Games author, Suzanne Collins, co-writing the screenplay. The shaky cam techniques used by director Gary Ross were sometimes distracting and overdone, but he proves he's the right man for the job when the more serious and emotional scenes hit you so hard that it's sometimes surprising. Jennifer Lawrence, who delivered an incredible and Oscar nominated performance for her work in the indie film Winter's Bone, delivered another incredible performance here as the lead heroine, Katniss, and proves without a doubt that she's here to stay.

I loved the Book, the movie was great!!!! But of course the book was better because of all the details.

When it comes to books made into movies, you usually like whichever you experienced first more than the other. When it comes to The Hunger Games, I loved the book when I read it, and I loved the movie just as much . . . if not more. The movie was able to put me in that same knotted stomach, horrified and angry place that the book had taken me to, and it had me near sobbing several times. The movie moved things along and even seemed to make some of the weaker points of the book work better. I think the quick shots and shaky camera at times added to the tension and chaos. Because it was PG-13 the actual violence was minimal and The Games seemed a bit too quick and easy, but overall this was an excellent adaptation. Loved it!

Most people who read the book first felt the movie was lacking, however I watched the movie first, then went back to read the book. For me, this movie definitely deserves 5 stars. If you like this series, go watch Battle Royale!

Went in to this not knowing exactly what this movie was about and loved it! I thought they did a superb job. The acting was great and really had me totally absorded in the movie. Can't wait for the other 2 movies to come out.

READ THE BOOKS FIRST!!! If you don't you most likely won't understand some of it because of all of the internal monolog.

Loved this, stayed true to the book!!!
