The acting was really good, I liked the script (could have gotten rid of the few curses though, they add absolutely nothing to the film or script) and the storyline, even though it seemed to have a bunch of different angles worked fairly well. As an optimistic person, I was honestly hoping that all 24 kids could make it out of the arena alive, and I was saddened by each and every death that took place
Alex didn't get the part...maybe the script didn't meet his high standards? Alex went on to star in 'Oscar-winning masterpieces', Magic Mike and Endless Love
Too much of the story is told rather than shown -- whole months can go by in just a few pages -- and yet the real action gets rolling about two thirds of the way through the book. Athens was forced to send seven boys and seven girls to Crete every nine years to make a nice snack for a Minotaur, who resided in a labyrinth constructed by Daedelus
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review - IGN
This time, there is less focus on the brutality among the contestants as much as the danger provided by Plutarch Heavensbee and his fellow gamemakers, who send more deadly obstacles than before at those trapped in the Games. Here, she effortlessly conveys the innate strength and hope Katniss projects to a downtrodden people, even as she herself tries to retreat from actively becoming a piece of any resistance, lest her friends and family be targeted as a result
Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, the movie is an adaptation of the first in a trilogy of books written by Suzanne Collins.In adapting the book into a motion picture, it was inevitable that changes would be made: characters would be removed, dialogue would be edited out and certain scenes would be deleted
The Hunger Games (Literature) - TV Tropes
In addition to their loathsome mindset and superior skills, they always team up to eliminate the weaker Tributes, then gleefully kill each other once everyone else is dead. Aerith and Bob: On one hand, you've got normal names like Annie and Johanna, but then on the other you've got more unusual names like Katniss, Peeta, Twill, Plutarch, and Beetee
You could practically see her brain scanning the room, sifting through the data, and then spitting out something dryly observed, perfectly timed, or oddly profound. Lawrence, who is wearing a blush-colored sleeveless top (purchased an hour ago at Topshop), slouchy black pants, and a pair of slip-on mules, immediately notices that I have a cast on my foot and a cocktail in front of me
Reply Margaret says: November 25, 2014 at 7:30 am Maybe all is not lost? However Mockingjay win oscar ? We have to the end of hope ! Reply Thomas says: November 25, 2014 at 1:50 am Jennifer Lawrence should have been at least nominated for Catching Fire. I challenge anyone to tell me what Mockingjay really achieved as a film beyond being a passable adaption of a popular novel for young adults and split into two incomplete parts in an overt grab to make you pay twice for one story
In 'Memoirs of a tribute' I will narrate my experience as a tribute, as a big fan of this great and amazing universe created by Suzanne Collins, Nina Jacobson, Francis Lawrence and Gary Ross, among many others.

Katniss Everdeen - The Hunger Games Wiki
It is then on the beach when she realizes how deeply she actually cares about him and kisses him naturally, not for the cameras, but out of her affection for Peeta. She makes her way to Haymitch, where he already tells her Peeta has come to visit him, and told him that Peeta wants to go back into the arena to protect Katniss
Bill Cosby Offers To Sit Down With Us And Explain The Allegations Against Him Over A Glass Of Wine A Timeline Of Upcoming Superhero Movies Following the massive successes of the Spider-Man, Batman, Avengers, and X-Men franchises, studios Marvel and DC Entertainment have announced as many as 40 upcoming superhero movies to be released over the next six years ... Famous Television Finales The award-winning AMC series Mad Men ended its seven-season run on Sunday night and drew critical acclaim for its final episode, a conclusion that many felt was poignant and satisfying
And like most movies about Evil Empires (the Star Wars films included), there is no explanation as to why so many people support the Dark Side or Darkseid, the empire or its supreme leader, because that might muddy the simplistic melodrama of it all. Women like to be treated as equal, yet they still like it when a guy holds the door open for them..I guess when ancient hard-wiring meets modern idealism, conflict ensues.

Like the conversations found on message boards, some of the opinions were vitriolic, if not blatantly racist; unlike the postings on fan forums, however, the Twitter comments were usually attached to real identities

I doubt anyone who has read all three books would want to be in Katniss's shoes."Not that it really matters, but I wonder if that reviewer's opinion would have changed had he read the entire trilogy
Under the leadership of President Coin and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta and a nation moved by her courage. In The Hunger Games, we follow two contestants and the rest are nameless, and with the exception of one young black girl, their deaths are meaningless (and mostly off-screen)
