Alicia I love this movie so much
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Michael Ledo I rate films on how well I enjoy them and not on their quality. There were scenes which admittedly had me ROFL. The film does not only satire "The Hunger Games" but also satires other films as well as modern society, an aspect which I liked. The humor was indeed stupid and even crude at times. One line from the film about a past game:"No one could anticipate Oprah would eat all the other contestants."The speech given at the end by the Samuel L. Jackson character actor had me in tears. Maiara Walsh who played the star Kantmiss Evershot reminded me of Zooey Deschanel more than Jennifer Lawrence. The actual film is short as it has a sad 10 minute blooper reel at the end.I enjoyed the film, it reminded me of "Your Highness" minus some of the crudeness. Other films spoofed include, Oz, Potter, LOTR, Avatar, Avengers, Expendables, plus more.Parental Guide: No F-bombs, but does have a lot of adult language. Censored sex scene. Male streaker with rear nudity.
Samthemoron (scraig-53917) As you have probably guessed by the title I would not consider this to be a film. Instead I shall refer to this as a Media File. This Media File is hands down the worst thing I have ever witnessed. This Media File has passed the point of being unbearable to watch, instead this broke new ground and was actually painful to watch. Every "Joke" every scene added to the pain of this experience. Your all probably wondering "Why is it so bad?" Well, let me tell you why. To start with, the writing in this Media File, is as expected, terrible, there is no semblance of character, theme, development or any other element of a screenplay that makes a Film what it is. Instead this is just a collection of dated pop culture references, tasteless humor and jokes so bad that even Adam Sandler wouldn't write them into his next Grown ups movie. The Cinematography is non existent, it was so horrendous that it physically hurt to see. I noticed streams of liquid going down my face at one point during the film, this is when I realized, I wasn't crying, instead my eyes had began to bleed. The acting in this movie was also trite, a third grade production of Hamlet would be better acted than this. My personal theory for the acting being this bad is, that they found people with serious mental issues, and cast them as the roles in this film. The directing goes without saying, it is horrendous. The director is possibly the reason all of these problems have occurred, unless everyone involved in this film is as mentally inept as the director. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are the directors and writers of this Media File. Unsurprisingly, their other film-making achievements include, Vampires Suck, Epic Movie, Date Movie, Meet the Spartans and the infamous Disaster Movie. I have seen only one of these films, that being Vampires Suck. I also did not like this movie, however it was infinitely better than this monstrosity. I would urge everybody to stay away from this Media File, avoid it like the plague, if I could rate this movie lower than one star, I would.
maiconfs14 Awh, man. I'm a big fan of the whole parody/spoof genre, i loved all the classics like "Spaceballs", "Airplane!", "Top Secret", "Scary Movie" (not actually a classic, but still) Even the terrible ones like "Vampires Suck" and "Superhero Movie" gave me some laughs. But, this one is just... awh, i don't know how to describe it. OK, "The Starving Games" as the title suggests, is a parody on the hunger games saga and follows the same plot of the first one. However, it does nothing actually funny with it source material, and it could. All the jokes are so dumb, old and pointless i really doubt the writers thought they were funny. The first "joke" of this movie is Kantmiss, the main character, hunting in the wood, when her boyfriend pops up from nowhere making her accidentally shoot an arrow at a balloon with a "the great and powerful Oz" character at it. HOW? How is it supposed to be funny? Do the writers really think just showing a familiar face is funny? And that's my problem with Friedberg and Seltzer, they don't even try. All of them spoofs just show some famous character or celebrity being hit by something or popping out of nowhere like that's funny. Here's an example in this movie we see LMFAO and the avengers exploding, in another scene Psy is shot by an arrow, Taylor Swift appears and starts singing, an Avatar parody in the middle of the film, with no good reason, A man uses Siri for throwing "angry birds" and fruits at a character and she cuts the fruits in a "fruit ninja" way. Why all this? Because the writers really think the audience is dumb enough to laugh at something just because they recognize it.
mekueny I only watched a few minutes of this film, but it was just like a pile of poop. Oh wait that's an offense to a pile of poop. If you are a hunger games fan don't watch this film. It's sole purpose is to poke fun at the hunger games. I can tell it has positively no storyline, its completely random. I think it's supposed to be funny, but its not. Not only does it make fun of the hunger games, it makes fun of lord of the rings, the hobbit, harry potter, and much more. It's completely dumb. I think my one star rating is extremely generous. Even a zero star rating would be extremely generous. I have no possible way to express my anger at the doofuses who made this movie. What if people see this and think this is what the hunger games is like? The hunger games is pure genius!!! This is, well how do you put it, uh garbage.
