many critics praised jennifer lawrence for her portrayal as katniss everdeen, as well as most of the main cast. according to "the hollywood reporter", lawrence embodies katniss, "just as one might imagine her from the novel". "empire" magazine said "lawrence is perfect as katniss, there's very little softness about her, more a melancholy determination that good must be done even if that requires bad things." several critics have reviewed the film favorably and compared it with other young adult fiction adaptations such as "harry potter" and "twilight". justin craig of fox news rated the film as "[e]xcellent" and stated: "move over harry potter. a darker, more mature franchise has come to claim your throne." rafer guzman of "newsday" referred to "the hunger games" as being "darker than '"harry potter",' more sophisticated than '"twilight"'." david sexton of "the evening standard" stated that "the hunger games" "is well cast and pretty well acted, certainly when compared with "harry potter" juvenile leads".
the hunger games (film)
bullet::::- effie trinket is a capitol-born chaperone who was assigned to oversee district 12's tributes in the hunger games, specifically katniss and peeta in the 74th and 75th games. she must carry out such tasks as drawing the tributes' names at the reaping and escorting them to the capitol. at first, she detests her association with district 12 and hopes to be promoted to a better, richer district after she pays her dues for a few years. later, effie becomes attached to her district 12 charges. she has no moral qualms about the hunger games or the capitol, and appears totally oblivious to the misfortunes of district 12. she does not appear to be very intelligent and gets basic facts wrong, such as confusing how diamonds and pearls are made. effie wears wigs of different colors for various special occasions, is very strict about manners, and is always punctual. katniss notes in the first book that "although she can be tiresome, effie has a very keen instinct about certain things" and "a certain determination i admire". effie's catchphrase in the first book is "happy hunger games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" in "mockingjay", it is said that she was imprisoned after katniss’s escape but unlike many others katniss knew in the capitol, she is not executed. she meets up again with katniss before snow's execution, and katniss notes that she now has a "vacant look" in her eyes. the book states that haymitch and plutarch had some difficulty in keeping her from being executed at the end of the war, but her imprisonment had actually helped in that regard. in the films, effie's role in the third film, "mockingjay part 1", is expanded as, rather than getting captured by the capitol, she is instead evacuated against her will by the rebels and taken to district 13. though initially hesitant, she eventually consents to help katniss and effectively replaces the role of katniss's prep team, who do not appear beyond the second film.
