Variety - 'What viewers are left with is a watchable enough picture that feels content to realize someone else's vision rather than claim it as its own.'
Hollywood Reporter - 'Hunger Games has such a strong narrative structure, built-in forward movement and compelling central character that it can't go far wrong.'
Guardian (UK) - 'The Hunger Games is that rarest of beasts: a Hollywood action blockbuster that is smart, taut and knotty.'
Time Out - 'Overall, this is a solid take on the material, but it could have done with a little less narrative incident and a little more cinematic sparkle.'
Screen International - 'The Hunger Games certainly doesn't lack for ambition, and although it's mostly successful, one can't help wishing the film could have better integrated its different tones and agendas.'
Total Film - 'Like its source, this is both credible science fiction and a teen tale that doesn't patronise or pander to its audience.'
Daily Telagraph - 'Despite its well-worn ideas and themes, Gary Ross's provocative, pulse-surgingly tense adaptation couldn't feel fresher, or timelier.'
The Playlist - 'the first film in a long time that deserves Hollywood's instant-franchise ambitions because it appeals to genre fans regardless of gender by crafting a story that's both epic and intimate, spectacular and subtle.'
Boxoffice Magainze - '
As action, as allegory, as cinema, The Hunger Games is the best American science-fiction film since The Matrix.'
Empire Magazine - 'As thrilling and smart as it is terrifying. There have been a number of big-gun literary series brought to screen over the past decade. This slays them all.'
Times (UK) - 'Rarely does a blockbuster live up to its overheated hype, but The Hunger Games proved to be an exception. Lawrence and this franchise will go far.'
Hitfix - 'A thrilling, intelligent, deeply-felt movie that does not play by the typical rules of franchise building in modern Hollywood. '
