The Hunger Games Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Julie and Brandy
[Rue's] presence gave the heart to the whole movie.
ARTINFO.com
J. Hoberman
The Hunger Games is undeniably progressive in making its protagonist so plucky, independent, and self-actualizing a young woman.
The New Republic
David Thomson
The film shows precious little hunger and no sense of game.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[Ross'] version of The Hunger Games, while not perfect, is probably as magnificent I ever my wildest dreams could have hoped for it to be.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
If you've never read Collins' novels, the odds that you'll enjoy the film are not in your favor.

Leonard Maltin
Lawrence proved her ability to carry a character's heavy burden in Winter's Bone. As Katniss Everdeen, a teenage girl who is both physically and morally strong, she has gravitas, rarely breaking into a smile, but reveals no sign of self-seriousness.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Even when two people are just talking calmly, Ross jerks the camera around. Why? As the sense of danger increases, he has nothing to build toward.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Ross manages to keep the pacing remarkably swift, given that the games themselves don't start until halfway through the 144-minute running time.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
[Katniss is] perhaps the most engaging action-movie protagonist in recent years … Am I glad I saw The Hunger Games? Yes. But I'm not eager to see it again.
James on screenS
Caryn James
Lawrence is terrific, but the film is a sleek, competent example of a big-budget, sure-fire commercial hit without much soul or style.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Like the select participants of its savage sport, The Hunger Games stands triumphant, if scarred and a bit wobbly from the contest.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
It features a functioning creative imagination and lots of honest-to-goodness acting by its star, Jennifer Lawrence, who brings her usual toughness and emotional transparency to the archer-heroine Katniss.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Watching The Hunger Games, I was struck both by how slickly Ross hit his marks and how many opportunities he was missing to take the film to the next level -- to make it more shocking, lyrical, crazy, daring.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The Hunger Games is first and foremost an adventure/survival story, and director Ross keeps things moving with nary a moment of downtime.
NPR
Bob Mondello
The Hunger Games' pacing is brisk, its stakes as high as stakes get, and its leading lady engaging enough that the odds - at the box office at least - will be ever in its favor.
Film.com
Laremy Legel
Measured against its downright subversive subtext, you have to come away impressed by the level of achievement.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The first book of Suzanne Collins's prodigiously popular trilogy has been brought to the screen with a Jumbotron sensibility, a shaky camera to emphasize the action and a shakier grip on the subject's emotional core.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Director Gary Ross' adaptation, co-scripted by Collins herself, isn't quite as crackingly paced as the novel, but it will more than satisfy existing fans of the trilogy and likely create many new ones.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Director Gary Ross generally avoids the elaborate exterior shots and special effects that dominate high-concept blockbusters.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
It's a streamlined fable with enough zing to keep the franchise flying until the next round.
