Jennifer Lawrence stars as the admirable and fierce Katniss Everdeen.

The "Hunger Games" is an incredible film that is exhilarating and full of suspense. From beginning to end, the "Hunger Games", will have you hanging off the edge of your seats. Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss is outstanding, and her ability with a bow is jaw-dropping. Both Hemsworth and Hutcherson were charming as the male leads.
After the Australian premiere of the "Hunger Games", I had the opportunity to interview a few members of the public who, along with me, attended the premiere screening.
Here, is my interview with Carolyne:
Has the "Hunger Games" lived up to the hype of its fiction-to-film predecessor "Twilight"?
Yes, it is much better than Twilight. The acting and the storyline were more captivating.
Who was your favourite character in the "Hunger Games"?
My favourite character was Woody Harrelson's character, what was it? Haymitch! He was so funny.
Have you read the "Hunger Games" book? Did the film differentiate from the book?
Yeah, I have read the books. The film was fantastic, but there were some bits in the book that were missing, that I would have like to have seen.

Would you go back and see the "Hunger Games" again?
Definitely!
Shortly after interviewing Carolyne, I interviewed a man named Johannes. Johannes was at the midnight premiere with his partner, Lisa.
Did you enjoy the "Hunger Games"?
Yeah, it was really good. I didn't expect to like it because I don't really like romance films, but it contained a lot of action and not much romance, which I really enjoyed.
What was your favourite scene in the film?
That's a hard one because I didn't really have a favourite scene. I liked all the fighting scenes and Katniss was really good with her bow. I guess my favourite scene was when Katniss shot the apple with the bow and arrow, it was pretty awesome.
Will you go back and see the "Hunger Games" again?
Yeah, if Lisa wants to, I'd be more than happy to see it again. It was pretty good.
I personally, could not be more pleased with the "Hunger Games", I thought it was sensational. Take the money and time out of your day and go see it, you won't be disappointed.
