Well, the reason I gave it 3 stars is because they completely cut off many important scenes & the whole movie felt like if it was going too fast and it was going through a breeze. Yes, I have to admit the director did manage to capture good scenes in the movie but they left out characters like Madge who gave Katniss the mockingjay pin in the book but in the movie Katniss gets the pin for free. Throughout the movie I didn't feel any suspense or thrill as I knew what was going to be expected yet again they left out the important scenes of character development. I was very disappointed when they left out many scenes between Katniss and Peeta because in the movie Peeta has like a minute or so to confess his love to Katniss.I mean one minute Peeta and Katniss shake hands and the other minute they kiss. I think all the actors did do a great job though. In the movie there was little dialogue & personally I would have perferred Katniss to narrate the movie as the book was from her perspective. I would have rather seen a longer movie or parts (1 & 2) that includes the important scenes than a 2 hour and 22 min. movie that quickly breezes through it. I hope that the next movie, Catching Fire, will be better and include the important scenes that does not feel like a rush to get through the end of the movie. Overall I have to say it was an OK.
