A dystopian government forces teenagers to fight to the death on TV.

I didn't love it, but they did a pretty good job. It's a damn hard book to adapt; a strictly faithful film would be at least three hours long and R-rated. Rather than rushing and forcing everything into the movie Harry Potter style, they chose their priorities and just did what they had time for. What made the cut is plot, a few nice science fiction ideas, and overarching themes of the series. What did not make the cut are show more most of the character relationships, and any of the trauma. But that's okay; there'll be plenty of time for character development in part 2, and for trauma in part 3.

Jogos Vorazes é um bestseller inteligente, tenso, nodoso, convincente e levemente satírico. Como ação, como alegoria, a franquia de ficção científica pretendeu bater "the Matrix" e ¨Crepusculo¨. O enorme sucesso fez fortuna graças à escrita, à emoção e à execução, não apenas ao enorme marketing e (na telona) a enorme CGI . É, inclusive,aterrorizante. Mas The Hunger Games é mais notável pelos buracos nos quais não cai do que pelas grandes alturas que porventura atinja. show more Trata-se de uma elaboração futurista e politizada de The Most Dangerous Game - com mais gravidade . é leitura infanto-juvenil, digamos, para maiores de 12 anos e menores de 32, donde o risco de brilho estilístico foi cuidadosamente eliminado: show less
