I think they could make a perfectly serviceable PG-13 movie out of Hunger Games. BUT, if they want to make a really good movie, it should be R rated. The reason is that I don't think they can portray the full horror of Katniss's situation without a lot of bloodshed and adult content.
Well the last Harry Potter film was fairly violent. So..but I think you may be right. To get across the degree of violence, it probably should be more graphic and exaggerated - as it is in the book. The one boy is literally torn apart. Catching Fire in some respects is the least violent of the three books. Mockingjay is the most, albeit in a different way. Although you could make a valid argument that Hunger Games is the most...due to the type of violence.
