Brilliant adaptation!

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2012)

I've watched the Hunger Games twice now and loved it both times! Amazing adaptation of the book, even if it missed out some parts of the book, it made up for it definitely in the climax of the film. I've read a lot of negative reviews from very 'small minded' people and think that they don't see the bigger picture. People keep comparing it to battle royale but it's nothing like it!! I think that true fans of the book will appreciate the 2 and a half hour long extravaganza especially with the cave scene, and Rue's scene (which I cried at both times). Overall, a fantastic and tasteful adaptation that does the books justice. The talented actors ( Lawerence, Hutcherson and Banks in particular) capture the characters mood perfectly, with the men of the hunger games excelling in the looks department ;) Definitely worth a watch, but read the books before watching the movie :) This is a film that will keep fans hungry for more!
