After finally watching the Hunger Games movies for the first time in 2024, I could see why the series became so successful and learned a lot of things I had no idea about Katniss and the world around her. The Hunger Games movies were some of the most successful films of the 2010s, yet I never got around to watching them. Of course, I was aware of the premise of the series and knew about characters such as Katniss Everdeen and President Snow but with little to no context.
I was glad that all of the movies were relatively long considering just how much worldbuilding there was to be made. Still, some parts of the films felt too rushed, and I assume that those moments were better explored in the source material. For example, Katniss and Peeta’s history before their first Hunger Games was clearly important for both characters. However, we only get glimpses of it through flashbacks.

It’s impressive how many great actors were in the Hunger Games movies, and none of them were wasted with dull or unimportant supporting characters.
