Very pleased with the movie version of "The Hunger Games". I felt the movie followed fairly close to the book (there are always creative changes that have to be made when telling any story). I really enjoyed the cinematography - the way the camera moved as Katniss moved, the muted sound when she lost her hearing, the out of focus shots when she was stung by the tracker jackers. I thought that the storyline was well explained so someone who hadn't read the book could understand what was going on (there were a few spots that weren't explained, but I thought for the most part, everything was covered). I thought the actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters, especially Jennifer Lawerence - she was fantastic as Katniss. Overall, it was a brilliant movie adaptation of the book!
