First let me say that I absolutely loved the Hunger Games books. I couldn't wait to see the movie. The books are thought provoking, gripping and gut wrenching. The movie just didn't capture it for me. The "shaky cam" made me feel disconnected. I wanted to see the guttural emotion on the faces of District 12 when Katniss takes the stage. The camera merely captured anything but a blur of the most important part of the book. The same with the scenes during the games. It is about survival, fear, danger and death. I couldn't even focus on what was happening during those scenes, let alone feel a connection to the character's feelings. I understand that movies can only give you a portion of what you get in the books. But, I didn't think this came close.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
