Excellent Adaptation
PostedMarch 23, 2012

from Atlanta, GA
Gary Ross has done an excellent job interpreting the world created by Suzanne Collins. The cast really makes an effort to capture the uniqueness of each character. Jennifer Lawrence, who many claim does not "look 16," is a wonderful actress who plays the conflicted roll of Katniss with a high degree of believability. The supporting cast definitely brings it home. Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, and Wes Bentley put up stellar performances. Nobody is phoning it in. The pacing of the movie left me feeling like I did not have enough time with some of the other characters, Rue in particular. I did not have time to develop that emotional attachment that makes her such a critical character in the book. Overall though an excellent adaptation of the novel. The best compliment I could give it would be to say that I cannot wait to see Catching Fire. I'll probably reread the book just to get a taste.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you like stoner comedy and intense graphic action, then this movie is for you. I could not stop laughing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
