Hunger Games is based on the best-selling trilogy of books by author Suzanne Collins. Jennifer Lawrence stars as a teen, who along with other teens, is facing a televised fight to the death. They live in a society where all the power resides with the people of the capital city, and there are twelve other outlying districts full of the oppressed working class. The movie also stars Josh Hutcherson and Stanley Tucci and is directed by Gary Ross.
In the past several years, there has been a continued upward trend of fantasy movies taking over the box office. While this is not a new concept, it has definitely served up accelerated results. I remember several years ago when The Lord of The Rings Trilogy took over the box office and the Academy Awards. While I'm not a major fantasy film fan, I definitely respect those who are, and they have spoken. I haven't seen Hunger Games yet, but I can tell you that I am definitely going to find out what the excitement is all about.
Hunger Games Rocks! Harry Potter series was fantastic! The Lord of the Rings was epic! Twilight series was a group of young adult romance novels that somehow keeps getting grouped together with great works... -_-
ReplyDeleteDid you even read the post? Twilight is mentioned once. The whole piece is giving props to Hunger Games so why throw your two cents in about an unrelated issue? Geez folks Twilight is a series of books and movies that some people happen to like. Get over it!!!
DeleteSniff...Sniff...I smell a Twihard! To answer your question yes I read the post in its entirity. I am aware that kudos have been given to Hunger Games and if you'll re-read my initial comment I gave kudos to Hunger Games as well. I then stated my opinion about an issue relating to Hunger Games and the other material mentioned in the blog...I see no reason to get in a huff. I didn't care for Twilight and obviously you did. No big deal, right? So only one question remains...Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? :)
Delete...Team Jacob...Anyway I re-read my first response to you and I guess it was a little harsh. I just happen to be a huge fan of the series and hate how everytime Twilight is even mentioned people have to talk s*** about it because that seems to be trending now. However you are entitiled to your own anonymous opinion as I am entitled to mine. lol
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah come on folks I like scooter pies and rc cola but what does that have to do with the awesomeness of hungergames that movie was badass ya know so stay focused and forget the other garbage theres my 2 cents
ReplyDeletewats a scooter pie?
DeleteGlad you guys liked Hunger Games. I can definitely see how grouping all of those fantasy movies together can create a rift because they are all so popular. You know you have two more to go with Hunger Games, so enjoy!
DeleteI loved Hunger Games:) I read the book the week before it came out and I read Catching Fire and Mockingjay the week after the movie came out. I loved them all and am really looking forward to follow up films. P.s. I love you Jesse:) Not really anonymous anymore am I? <3 LOL...AS...
