Three Reasons The Movie "Hunger Games" Lives Up To Its Hype

1. It's compelling. I thought I'd be creeped out by this movie. Come on. Kids killing kids. But the story is much deeper than that, and the drama keeps you on the edge of your seat.
2 The acting was outstanding. Jennifer Lawrence was brilliant as "Katniss," the main character. She is a true star.
3. Three books have already been written in the series, and the ending of the movie set it up perfectly for a sequel.
