Almost Perfect

Having just read the Hunger Games trilogy a couple of weeks before seeing the first movie I had the story fresh in my mind. I had my own idea of how the characters would look and act, what the settings would look and feel like. I was not disappointed for the most part.
Especially impressive was Jennifer Lawrence's version of Katniss, the "girl on fire." She is simply flawless and exactly as I had imagined her.
The two characters I felt were lacking were Gale and Haymitch. To understand the tension between Katniss and Peeta we need to have a better understanding of the relationship between Gale and Katniss. I don't think that was developed adequately in the film
And although we get a picture of Haymitch as a drunken, unhappy "victor" I felt, again, the character was given the short shrift in this first installment. I sincerely hope in the second film these two characters are fleshed out more.
But overall I found the movie very well done. The casting is spot on, the world created matched my vision of it from the books and I look forward to the second movie!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
