Joe checks out the hyped up adaptation to Suzanne Collin's bestselling novel, The Hunger Games.
Short Review: The Hunger Games is a very good adaptation. It is a little disturbing at some points, particularly when the game itself starts. The movie is highly engaging and has one of the best climaxes I have seen in a movie all year. This is a dark movie, based on a dark book. I think this movie deserves a place right next to Harry Potter.
Video Review:
