Faithful Adaptation
PostedMarch 25, 2012

Even though my expectations were very high for the film, I am happy to say that "The Hunger Games" does not disappoint. It remains a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material and I would recommend it to both people who have or haven't read the books. The performances from the cast are the main strength of the film, and Jennifer Lawrence does an amazing job carrying the movie on her shoulders. The only complaint I have about the film is that the shaky, handheld camera direction was annoying. I felt like the main reason it was filmed this way was so they could show violence without showing too much violence in order to get a PG-13 rating. Stylistically, it's cool for about a minute, but then it just becomes headache inducing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
