For a long time it felt like the teenager's intelligence was just being insulted with the bad writing with Twilight and I gave up hope for them. I didn't know what to expect and to be honest I thought I would never get into this film but I'm surprised to say that I really did like this movie and actually bought the book because of it. My fiancé and I actually waited until this weekend to see The Hunger Games to see it with a not so crowded theater and still it was pretty packed. I think the film relied more on it's fan base than anything for the box office numbers and it really did pay off. Let me start by saying much kudos to the film on being popular by word of the mouth because normally we are bombarded with crazy advertising for a film like this but instead I didn't see that much honestly.

Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol.
