Customer Ratings & Reviews

I enjoyed the book series and the movies were decent. I would say the movies are ranked as follows: 1) Catching Fire, 2) Mocking Jay, Pt. 2, 3) Hunger Games & 4) Mocking Jay, Pt. 1 They really didn't need 4 movies (greedy) Jennifer Lawrence brought the stubbornness of Katniss to her role, but she lacks the ability to show true emotion in any of her roles. Her crying always seems forced or over-acted. I always thought this series would have been better (in the movies) if they had Katniss narrate parts. There is only so much an actor can do with their facial expressions (where a scene that so much is going on in Katniss' heart or mind are concerned) Had she narrated those moments like she does in the book, then the movie's story and her internal conflict over Peeta & Gale and everything she feels; would have come off better with the audience. As a book to movie, this one was average.

There is no doubt The Hunger Games series are great and very successful, but by now you probably know that. I'm writing to review this limited Steelbook release. The art outside and inside the case is great although it is not a glossy finish. My only issue with this release it that it does not contain the second Blu-ray of the original release (standard packaging) that contains the special features including the 2 hour behind the scenes documentary. If you don't care about that, this is the way to go. Great movie with a great Steelbook package.

First I will say, I enjoyed this film and I do recommend it. It has some emotional beats. I will admit that it appears to take inspiration from the Japanese series Battle Royale and that's okay. Which one do I like better? That's gotta be BR, but they're both good.

(This is a review of just the steelbook). This is as bare bones a release you can get; it is just the blu-ray movie, no special features so if you have the original blu-ray release, hang onto it. This was purchased simply to have matching artwork style with the BBY catching fire steelbook release.

The movie is great, but the upgrade to 4k is not much. There is lots of film grain in the movie. HDR is there, but not much compared to other 4K releases. It looks like it might be a 2k upconversion rather than a new 4k master.

Great packaging and fast delivery of the movie, wish it was a Bluray DVD digital combo but hey, dvd is dying a relatively quick death so its to be expected. Movie is good and I plan on getting the rest when they come out.

Not my favorite movies, acting is better than the Twilight movies (and it got better in the last 2 movies of the series), not a must have, but its ok to spend some time while you fall asleep

I didn't enjoy this movie at all. I only purchased it to see what all the hype was about. I think I dozed off once. This will be on my items for re-sale.

The 4K format is not any better than the blu-ray format. The movie itself is only so-so. Katniss doesn't die at the end. Naturally, you can assume that.

I'm rating the movie itself not the product that best buy put out. It was ok, didn't see what the big deal was with this movie. Kinda felt n sensed how the ending would smh

I waited a long time to see this series. Wasn't sure I would like it. I did watch the whole series. Needed to see how it would end.

Kind of a bleak futuristic survival story with suspenseful scenes.. At times dark, and at times kind of nutty characters. Worth seeing..

This film starts out slow! But once it gets going it is pretty good. You have to watch this one to understand the series. But we'll worth it

My wife and I liked the first movie the best. Still had to see all 4 movies in the series. Not as good as we had hoped it would be.

I actually purchased the wrong Hunger Games version. We viewed the movie previously and enjoyed the film enough to purchase the sequel.

The steelbook was nice including the art inside. My only gripe is that they are missing the second disc that has all the special features.

This was a good movie, it’s the first movie in the series and maybe one of the better ones

This one has it all: Future! Past! Politics! Left! Right? And, Woody Harrelson :) But, I liked Winter's Bone much better.

I really enjoyed this movie. I don't think it comes with a digital movie pass.

Like all epic novels the movie falls far short of the book. If you want to read the novels do so before watching the movies.
