Having read the books I was expecting a little bit of a different film. Alot of the plot remained the same, but what I believe to be important moments were absent. I love the books and because of that the film was just lacking to me. I would say if you want to see the movie keep the book out of mind. The filming style also bugged me. The camera shaking and crazy angles in some shots made me a little sick. I know they wanted it to seem raw and like the viewer was seeing it through Katniss' eyes but it made it very comical in a way and nauseating. Similar to the blairwitch project. The actors are the saving grace of this piece Jennifer, Josh, Elizabeth, Lenny, Donald, Liam, and Woody kept the show rolling and made it intriquing. If you want to see a good blockbuster movie then yes go but if you want to see a good book adaptation film this is sub-par.
