A review from someone who didn't read the book

HUNGER GAMES REVIEW: The movie that all of the teenagers have been waiting for. The next BIG franchise to fill the gap that Harry Potter has left in Hollywood (and Twilight...thank God that's almost over). Does it live up to the hype? In short...it's a solid movie....but not the greatest movie ever made. The acting was pretty good, and you can really tell that a lot of thought, time, effort and money went into making this book a realistic world (for the most part). People complain that its slow for the first 40 minutes, but honestly that's called character development. It was laying down the plot, telling us everything we needed to know to comprehend the rest of the movie...and did a nice job of keeping it interesting. As a whole, the movie was well made, the actors did their parts well, and the story was interesting. Also, it did a good job of making us care about the characters, and drawing out certain emotions when necessary. My only complaint is that the camera was way too shakey during action sequences, (almost as if the camera man was trying to survive as well). I'm happy to say that this is a "teenage book franchise based movie" that isn't a pain to watch. Looking forward to the second one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
