This is a teenage movie, but what did you expect ?

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2014)

This is just my opinion.
I read the book and... Yes, it was cool ! So I wanted to watch the movie. This is a teenage book, so it is logical that the movie is a teenage movie, no one can complain about it.
So, is the film as good as the book ?
Like always, the film is a bit less good because it cannot show all the details of the book, all the reactions of the characters but Neil Burger directed a very entertaining movie.
The scriptwriter found a lot of staging tricks to put all the important details of the story in the movie even if the script is a bit different than the book.
The actors respect their characters, they are really good in their roles. It is interesting because often, the adaptation of a book series allows to discover some new actors who create a new generation of actors.
I think it is a good start for the franchise which follows the steps of Hunger Games. If you liked the book, you will like the movie (of course there will be some deceptions like I said previously). If you like dystopian stories, watch it right now !
