Actors: Jennifer Lawrence,
Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Lenny
Cravitz
Rating: 9 out of 10, Jennifer
Lawrence really is something special (news flash – huh). I didn’t think
there was any way a movie could capture the character of Katniss Everdeen
because of the limits of the medium compared to a book but she pulls it
off. The middle movie is always the toughest because of the transitory
nature of the plot – getting you set up for the climatic third but this movie
stands on its own. There’s action and a cool arc as we see the champions
paraded around the country by the evil president while plotting their
doom. Donald Sutherland is perfect as the evil dude and the only miss in
the cast is Josh Hutcherson who is clearly fighting above his talent level when
paired with Lawrence.
If there was a little too much hang wringing and angst about which of the male
leads Katniss was going to choose it’s obvious this movie was aimed a those of
the female persuation That being said – great flick that has something
for us XYers as well.
MVP: Larence as the deadly
but conflicted Everdeen
