Having read the book and falling completely in love with it, I was wary when I heard they were adapting the series into films. But I have to say, the Hunger Games did not disappoint. The characters were beautifully cast and Gary Ross did an amazing job directing. I let out a breath of relief when I found out that Suzanne Collins was helping to right the screenplay. I could definitely see her handy work in the little details that are present in the movie. They definitely do a good job setting up clues for Catching Fire. I loved that they added the scenes with President Snow and Seneca Crane, giving the movie details and depth to help those who haven't read the books. It really is one of the best book to film adaptations I've seen! Everyone really needs to go see this movie!
I have to say that this was one of my favorite Harry Potter movies to date! Even though there scenes left out and details that were skimmed over, which was inevitable, I loved the way the movie was constructed. The characters and the actors have matured and the movie reflects it. I was laughing and crying and cheering and screaming and just having a good time. I loved this movie!
"I've been a Twilight fan for about four years now, and have to say had mixed feelings for this movie. Was it going to stay true to the book? How were the actors? Will I love it?
Let me say, it wasn't as good as the book, but for a movie based on a book, it was pretty damn good! I loved the casting, and I loved how the incorporated favorite lines from the book!"
