Worth the wait

from Scottsdale, Az
We bought our tickets 2 weeks in advance to see Hunget Games the first night it was out. We waited in line 7 hours to see the first midnight showing.
It was worth the wait. As with all books made from movies it had additions and deletions from the book and was of course condensed from the book. This is expected and happens all the time, hence why the book is always better than the movie.
My biggest complaint is the actors they choose for the characters. While Jennifer Lawerence did an awesome job as Katniss and the did will casting Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, the movie lost it when they casted Peeta. I think the actors playing Gale and Peeta were wrong. Josh Hucherson should have never been cast as Peeta. Peeta is supposed to be tall and very good looking, and instead they made him look like a geek and unsure. While Liam Hensworth was a good choice for Gale, he would have been a better choice as Peeta. The reast of the casting was very good. At first I wasn't thrilled with Donald Surherland as President Snow, after seeing the movie he does an awesome job in fantastic Sutherland style.

Of course, and hopefully they left the movie at a perfect place for them to make the second book Catching Fire. I would be more than okay if the re-cast Peeta though. Frankly I think it is a necessity that happen.
I also think they did well in the violence. In the book it is not graphic or too much for the younger readers and I think the same can be said for the movie.

So all you Hunger Games fans go see the movie because you will love it
Yes, I recommend this movie.
