HUNGRY FOR MORE!

GET READY FOR A REVIEW FROM AN INTENSE HUNGER GAMES FAN:
FIRST OFF, there is this shaky camera style used for EVERY fight/action sequence which is the MOST annoying and awful thin about this film, I absolutely hated it. At time I couldn't tell who was fighting who, it was that fast and obnoxious. And yes I know that they couldn't show as much violence as the book, but come on, every death was super quick, super shaky and didn't have the same impact at all as the books did.
I really feel like the brutality of the story was definitely softened for the PG-13 rating which was quite annoying.

The actors were all great, I especially enjoyed Effie and Haymitch, the Capitol looked incredible, truly beautiful sets/costumes and awesome gadgets with a beautiful atmosphere.
Anyway, I noticed a lot of time was spent during the pre-games events, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, everything that was shown I thought needed to be shown, but the actual games seemed really rushed and anticlimactic.
ALL IN ALL it was a good movie, but they messed up, in my opinion, on the impact and emotion of the story. They also relied heavily on people reading the book, because if you didn't you wouldn't have gotten ANY background on characters, or any references, there were a lot of unexplained things in the movie, I'm just saying.
