The ...what Games?

First, I did not read the book. For some reason the title made me think of sparkling pseudo bloodsuckers. My teenage son read the first book after much persuasion from friends and thought it was great, so off to the movies we go...
Considering the incredible hype surrounding it, I found this movie somewhat lacking. First person narrative is difficult to portrait in film, so flashback sequences must do. Only here these scenes did not clearly reflect the internal monologue (yes, I've gone back to read the book). Too many close ups, too much jiggling and jumping with the camera and an almost anticlimactic conclusion make this movie a less than stellar start to a trilogy.
HOWEVER, the acting saves it. Sure there is some witty dialog, but it really is through the body language and facial expressions of the actors that this movie comes to live.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
