I liked the hunger games what else would i like

Inspired by 12 Angry Men and its one-room drama, the film sees 50 people in you guessed it a circle, killed when they try to leave or one by one every minute. There is no competitive, enforced element here, but there is no denying that Suzanne Collins must have taken at least some influence from the legendary William Golding novel Lord Of The Flies.

After they crash on an island, a group of children must form a society. We see the interaction between children that Hunger Games focuses on so much, and eventually, we begin to see some dramatic, violent tensions amongst a group of people forced to mature way too quickly.

While the version of the film is much a more recent recreation, it is widely agreed that the film is a better watch. What it does have, however, is the uncanny like setting that creates a creepy vibe in a film that for a while aims to give off a sunny, positive feeling. Watching Truman live his life painfully unaware that everyone around him is acting and the world is watching his every move is similar to the process of the reaping, in which the hosts and sponsors merrily promote a show they know ends in the death of multiple children.

Again, there is a distinct element of this film that goes above the teen drama of Hunger Games. However, Hanna follows the titular Hanna Heller, a year old just a year younger than Katniss at the start of the first film in the series with immense skill in combat. As such, she is a skilled assassin. Battle Royale came long before the Hunger Games universe was created. From the mind of Koushun Takami, the novel of the same name is what first gave rise to the cultural phenomena that inspired the name of the currently booming battle royale video game genre.

I'm sure that I could nitpick the movie all day because I loved the book so much-- and that is why books are always better than movies! Overall, I was satisfied with The Hunger Games and I'm going to see it again in theaters with my husband once he finishes the book. Even with some of the flaws, it kept me wanting more and I'm already anticipating the November release of Catching Fire -- I'm just hoping the editing is a lot smoother in number 2.

If you haven't read The Hunger Games, I would encourage you to do so before seeing the movie I felt basically the same as you did. Although I disagree with Prim giving the pin to Katniss, I was disappointed. I also felt no connection with Peetna and Katniss before the games. That was huge in the books. I did enjoy the movie, and I felt it stayed true mostly to the book.

But, there was so much left out and the story felt rushed. Agree that the games didn't seem as bad as they were in my mind. What about the dogs also; they were supposed to have faces on them of the others who had died in the game. President Snow should have been creepier too I could ramble on and on about!
