My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Hunger Games (2012)

There's not much that this book adaption gets wrong.  As I watched this tense and engaging movie, I kept thinking how close the movie producers matched what I saw in my head as I read Suzanne Collin's fantastic book.  I had a strong feeling that Gary Ross would succeed, being that he's such an accomplished film director, but he surpassed even my expectations.  Jennifer Lawrence leads a perfectly-casted group of actors, all of whom give real and draining performances.   I don't have much to complain about, except I almost wish I hadn't read the book so many years before, than I could have enjoyed this movie even more than I already had.  Excellent adventure movie that really anyone would enjoy unless you dislike dystopia visions of the future.  Grade: A
