I have been getting asked by alot of people if I liked the movie. Yes I did. However, there where alot of things that did not appear in the movie as I had hoped. I think that I had very high expectations for the movie since it was all they hype. I throughly enjoyed the books. I understood every moment of Katniss and Peeta. But I think that if you didn't read the book beforehand...then you wouldn't understand the characters and the way they behaved. The book built and expressed a very detailed persona to each character. Peeta I believe could have been better...with how his love is expressed in the book did not go into the movie. Overall I think that the movie was better for the second time around. I had to watch it twice...lol..with my friends and then with my daughters.
