Good job fitting in most of the concepts from the book. Just wish all of the detail could have been included. But that would have required it to be 2 movies.
I understand parents being concerned about violence against teenagers, but this book and movie are about the 2 teens who fight against a situation that caused them to participate in socially-forced violence. Hooray for rebels against violence and social inequality!!
Do like that the gamemaker, Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley) was featured more in the movie than in the 1st book. His focus on raising the entertainment factor of the games, then coming down to a somewhat moral decision in the end was a plus. Of course we're proud that Wes is from Arkansas as well.
