Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- Two kisses.
- A young woman is seen taking a bath. No nudity shown.
Violence & Gore
-
- A boy's neck is snapped, and we see a few people moments after death.
- An arrow sticks out of a boy's chest after he is shot.
- A girl is poisoned, her skin is light blue.
- A girl is killed by a flying spear and pulls the weapon out of her chest before dying. Blood soaks her shirt.
- Another girl is swarmed by violent poisonous wasps and is killed by them. We briefly see her incredibly swollen body.
- Katniss receives severe burns from a forest fire.
- A girl is slammed into a wall, snapping her neck.
- Peeta and another boy roughly punch each other and wrestle.
- Katniss receives a knife slash across her head.
- An explosion is triggered.
- A girl is slammed against a wall three times by her neck. On the third slam we hear a crunch which is her throat being crushed resulting in her death.
- Very violent, occasionally bloody and often intense. This is a hard PG-13 rated film as it was originally rated R and received edits to get its rating.
- Brutal violence.
- Very violent for a PG-13 rated movie.
- The opening fight of the games implies a few deaths, we briefly see blood splattered onto the ground and other objects, and throughout the games, we see open wounds (no longer bleeding) on many of the characters. A group of older teens travels as a pack and hunts down young children, there are a few just-offscreen stabs and kills. They find a teenage girl at night, alone, and we hear her screams, implying death.
- Video footage shows a past Hunger Games, where a boy beat someone to death with a brick. We see the beating partially, with the blood covered brick being raised into the air and brought down hard, almost out of view.
Profanity
-
- There are some mild uses of "hell," and "damn," but are very infrequent.
- Name calling like "lover boy."
- There's one use of 'shit', but it's muffled.
- Katniss says damn you.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Haymitch is constantly drinking when he is on screen and we see him staggering drunk the first time we meet him. He empties a flask into his morning coffee. .
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A beating is partially glimpsed on a television, which is supposed to show the depiction of the Hunger Games' free for all methods of violence.
- Glimps at the lifeless bodies of kids killed inside of the arena
- The above mentioned is intense but the movie is nowhere near as bad as the book it's based on
- The premise of this movie is very depressing and violent. It revolves around slaves who are chosen at random to brutally fight to the death and they are rewarded with food and luxury.
- We see a girl covered in in wasps and all swelled up from the stings.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The Cornucopia Bloodbath scene at the start of the hunger games is very intense and quite disturbing. We see teenagers brutally murdering each other. We see spearing and stabbings and blood splashing out as well as a brief leg amputation. A 12 year old boy hides and when he thinks it is safe to come out, he ambushed and has his throat slashed. We see blood, but this death is mostly offscreen. The shaky camera shots and lack of sound effects lessen the impact of this scene.
- A young man threatening to kill another young man by snapping his neck is shot in the hand with an arrow (we see his very bloody face from a previous fight) and he falls off a shelter and onto the ground where he is mauled by three animals (he screams and pleads for help) until he is shot with another arrow. A young man kills a teen boy by twisting his neck with his bare hands (we see the boy collapse to the ground).
- In the final battle, dog-like beasts attack Katniss, Peeta, and another boy. Katniss shoots one in the neck with an arrow to no avail. When the third boy falls into the pack, they begin eating him and tearing him apart (offscreen), and Katniss shoots him to kill him quickly, as a sort of "mercy killing".
- The district 11 girl has a spear thrown into her chest. A close up is then shown of her removing the spear with her shirt stained with blood. May be uncomfortable for younger viewers to watch.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Rue's death can be quite sad.
