The Hunger Games Free movie streaming Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing 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. -- (C) Lionsgate Release Date The Hunger Games Mar 23, 2012 Wide

Review For The Hunger Games
Even when two people are just talking calmly, Ross jerks the camera around. Why? As the sense of danger increases, he has nothing to build toward. David Denby-New Yorker Gary Ross, who directed Seabiscuit, manages to get this nag out of the starting gate and across the finish line with no major blunders, but without much in the way of inspiration, either. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Ross manages to keep the pacing remarkably swift, given that the games themselves don't start until halfway through the 144-minute running time. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Like the select participants of its savage sport, The Hunger Games stands triumphant, if scarred and a bit wobbly from the contest. Scott Bowles-USA Today It features a functioning creative imagination and lots of honest-to-goodness acting by its star, Jennifer Lawrence, who brings her usual toughness and emotional transparency to the archer-heroine Katniss. Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle Watching The Hunger Games, I was struck both by how slickly Ross hit his marks and how many opportunities he was missing to take the film to the next level -- to make it more shocking, lyrical, crazy, daring. David Edelstein-New York Magazine Given the recent failure of so many big-budget films, the odds weren't in The Hunger Games favor, either. Thankfully, Hollywood got this one right. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade The supporting cast is excellent (most notably Stanley Tucci as flamboyant television host Caesar Flickerman, and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Katniss and Peeta's troubled mentor). Tracie Cooper-TV Guide's Movie Guide There's no doubt that there are lots of elements here that have been seen before but this still manages to carve enough of an identity for itself to be intriguing, exciting and - on the odd occasion - compelling. Laurence Boyce-The Sabotage Times Some plot threads are underserved but The Hunger Games is a fascinating and disturbing character drama that successfully captures the core themes of the book. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant The Blu-Ray disc will impress the fans with its flawless audio track and serviceable video transfer. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered Sure this entry is a ripoff of "Battle Royale," but it's still an entertaining ride with great casting that will more than likely please fans of the book and those who've never even heard of it. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com Despite a few minor problems, The Hunger Games proves to be a promising start to what will no doubt become the next beloved Hollywood mega-series. Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered While the 12A rating renders any serious violence a tad impotent, there is much more going on here than the fawning and frowning of its soppy vampire peer. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk A retread of a tale that's The Running Man meets Lord of the Flies with a dash of Twilight for tween-adoring measure. Erick Weber-NECN I never thought I'd describe a film by Pleasantville and Seabiscuit director Gary Ross as 'whackadoodle,' but if the shoe fits. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline The Hunger Games may be a flawed beast, to be sure, but there's plenty of subtext to glean from the narrative, and a slew of wonderfully rich characters worth investing in. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD The new Twilight? We don't think so. This is much better . . . James O'Ehley-Sci-Fi Movie Page While a great ride of a movie, it is also one wrapped around an oddly disquieting message. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies The first genuine can't miss film of the year that you'll want to go back to the theater to see over and over again. Jeffrey Lyles-Lyles' Movie Files Katniss embodies all that's better than her Hunger Games opponents, being aptly appalled at what she sees while also learning to manipulate her audience. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters The Hunger Games stomps the Twilight saga flat, and though I found those films somewhat amusing, this one is the real deal... Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com ... Does a more-than-adequate job of introducing a future world and characters I won't mind revisiting. And it gives you a little to think about while you're waiting. Greg Maki-Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) A blockbuster that has something to say about the world we could be living in. Unlike Twilight, this film actually has a deeper and more important philosophical meaning. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight The phenomenal cast with great chemistry and sincere authentic performances from the older actors empowers the material. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Here's the movie for which millions of fans have been starving. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
