A decent action Film

from Cedar Falls, IA
First off, I have not read the books nor will I. I am going to just see the movies so I don;t get upset when they change something. (Which is what happened with the Harry Potter Movies) The problem I had was that this movie had a lot of hype so I came into the theater thinking that this would be a spectacular film. First of all, I enjoyed the film and will probably see future installments, but I could definitely tell this movie was aimed toward female audiences. The love story between Katniss and Peeta seems really corny and is designated toward tween fans, but in its defense it is still way better than the Twilight Sagas love story. Also I was really hoping that the action would be intense and intricately stylized like a Jason Bourne movie. Obviously they are children and not as highly trained as Jason Bourne, but they could have at least made it somewhat stylized. The action was short and not as good as I was expecting so that was a disappointment. Also the shaky camera made it sometimes hard to tell what was going on with some of the fights.I did enjoy the beginning where the contestants all run out and start butchering each other which was more intensified with no sound except for some sep music. This was short lived however. The story is quite good and is very sad at parts and the audience really cares about some of the characters. Jennifer Lawrence is very good and Josh Hutcherson also did very well. Woody Harrelson was my favorite and stole the show for me. All in all if you love the books, go see the movie, If you are a female or a teenager, then go see the movie, If you are expecting a top notch action film however, you should probably pass on this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
