The first three films of the sci-fi action series based on the novels of Suzanne Collins' trilogy. In 'The Hunger Games' (2012) Jennifer Lawrence stars as 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of the totalitarian post-apocalyptic country of Panem, formerly the United States. Every year, the all-powerful ruling agency known as the Capitol selects one boy and one girl from each of Panem's 12 impoverished rival districts to fight to the death on live national television in a contest known as 'The Hunger Games', in which the winner is given food to feed their entire district for a year. When her younger sister Primrose (Willow Shields) is selected as a contestant, Katniss steps up to take her place. Under the tutelage of inebriated former champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), Katniss goes into training for the fight of her life. In 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' (2013), fresh from her triumph in the 74th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss, along with fellow winner Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), returns home to District 12 for some much-needed rest. But soon after, while on a 'Victory Tour' of the other districts, she becomes aware of growing dissent to the Capitol's rule, and realises that rebellion is in the air. As Panem prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games), autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland), still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games, stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe out any resistance from the districts. In 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' (2014), in the aftermath of the 75th Hunger Games, Katniss finds herself in the underground District 13, struggling to adjust to her new life and role as the 'Mockingjay' in the rebellion against the Capitol and President Snow. Meanwhile, her friend and fellow Games victor Peeta is in the hands of the Capitol, where he is tortured and brainwashed. Katniss soon realises that to save the ones she loves she will have to join the revolt, led by President Coin (Julianne Moore), and become a symbol of hope for the rebels. With help from her friends and allies, including Haymitch Abernathy, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Katniss sets out to bring down the Capitol and President Snow once and for all.

fabulous and eearily true
what can I say. heard so much about hunger games and waited years to watch them but enjoyed every single minute of these sci fi films based on the future where there is the majority of people in sheer poverty and the centre of the "empire" is overflowing with decadence where life is cheap and the unltimate thrill is watching people die in the most cruellest of "games". the rich have so much food that they need a special drink to allow them to gorge themselves....while the outer precints starve...sadly it looks as if we are following the hunger games politically

Although targeted at a much younger age group I really enjoyed reading the books and hoped the films would be as good. I wasn't disappointed and enjoyed both of them very much. Jennifer Lawrence was excellent in the main role and really brought the heroine Katniss Everdeen to life perfectly. Two really good films, not to be missed.

A good weekend watch.
If you have a spare weekend or evening with the World Cup over then you could do a lot worse than watching these. I bought these as a present for someone who had read the books. They enjoyed the two films and thought they were true to the books. I hadn't read the books but enjoyed the films very much. I look forward to seeing the third film.

CATCHING FIRE
A MORE ENJOYABLE WATCH THAN THE FIRST FILM, IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOKS, WITH A MORE MATURE ACTING AND LOTS OF MEANINGFUL LOOKS BY LAWRENCE. IT REMINDS ME OF THE FIRST 2 MAD MAX FILMS, THE FIRST WAS WEIRD AND THE SECOND A PLOT WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND.
