Is Hunger Games the movie okay for kids?

Answer 1

depending how old if you are old enough to play slightly violent Video Games then it will be fine.

Answer 2

Course. I'm 12, and this is my new favorite book. There are just some parts that are sad, but this is an amazing book as long as you are a good reader. I read it word by word, it took me a while, but I understood it. So I think a 10 year old can read it.

Answer 3

The Hunger Games is more appropriate for young adults or teens, as there is a lot of violence (the book)

As for the movie, most of the violence is shot in a way so you don't see much, but the storyline is hard to understand if you haven't read the book(s).

Answer 4

the Hunger Games is ok for kids a little violent but still ok

Edit: I am 13 years old and i took my little niece and she is 8 and it was fine, it dont really show any real blood or anything groosome the camera just starts moving alot.

EDIT: According to the International Movie Database - it is "Rated PG-13 for intense violent thematic material and disturbing images - all involving teens" - Snakester1962 (Supervisor)

Answer 5

This will vary depending on the kid, although as a general answer, no. The Hunger Games talks about very dark, violent things. Half of the book is about 24 teenagers being thrown into an arena to kill each other, and we are shown stories of how they are killed from the perspective of one of the tributes. Any people who are about twelve and under who are reading The Hunger Games should be told that it's a story, and not to take the violence and some parts of the book too far.

As for the movie, it is most definitely not something a nine year old should see as we are actually shown people who are killed, or whose bodies become covered in boils. It has a very accurate PG-13 rating.

Answer 6

That really depends on how mature the person is. In general I would say no because the Hunger Games is a very violent book. There are lots of gory deaths which are described in great detail.

Answer 7

Oh totally! The Hunger Games series is becoming wildly popular with children ages 12 to 16. I myself, am 14, and I love the series!! Go ahead and try it out.

Answer 9

The book is... Well it's a match to death so they do explain killing so not really. And the movie its the same thing so you see the killing.
