How our hero and heroine gonna survive in Hunger Games?
You have to watch it at your local cinema.

For me, this movie actually a good entertainment, the idea of battle royale to determine who was the strongest and the smartest one between a teenager is always a good idea.
Actually I kinda hoped for a more bloody tournament, but this movie is rated PG-13 so there are no gore, just some blood splatter.
All my friend who have read the novel said that Hunger Games should be more gore. So if you guys had read the novel, please be prepared to not see any gore you already imagined.

The sets for this movie is impressive. The costumes are really eccentric, and the Capitol city is so futuristic.
I also like the control room of The Hunger Games administrator, the technologies are so advanced, where they can actually just drag and drop data to add something to The Hunger Games arena.
I have to say that the story is good and not boring. Even though the duration of this movie is 160 minutes, I barely feel it.
It's a good movie overall to spend your weekend even though at the end of the movie, I didn't feel satisfied by the lack of action and gore.

My Rate is 7.5/10
