CGiii Comment

An astoundingly dismal adaptation...

Gary Ross...wrong man for the job.

The actors are too old.

You have to read the book to fully understand what's going on.

Lenny Kravitz!!! Whatever were you thinking??? Who made the mad decision to cast him in  - possibly - the most unsuitable role for a musician - a musician who should NEVER act.

Whoever designed the cornucopia - well, go back to design school.

Gary Ross...most definitely the wrong man for the job.

The(ir) Blurb...

In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives.
