Movie Review: The Hunger Games

I watched The Hunger Games, it's set in a dystopian future where the descendants of a rebellion from 12 different districts are chosen.

They will then participate in an arena one male and one female will represent each district and year to year only one victor stands at the end of the games. 

I found that the movie mixed Ancient Olympian games and they also had elements of the Nazi reign in Germany.  


High points of the movie 

The movie was very thought provoking, and was very well filmed,

Katniss Everdeen stood in her much younger sister's place, which was a good nod to doing something noble and selfless. 

Low points of the movie

The movie does show violence against children, perpetrated by other children, so that's something to think about before watching with your children. 

However violence was pretty moderate. 

In Closing with all things considered It was an interesting watch and I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars for family friendliness.
