Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (21 September 2012)

The books are very good, although a bit too twilight for my liking but still very nice but the adaptation was not too good. There were gaps in the story, the film was rushed and not enough action. Hopefully the sequels will be more impacting and effective. However Jennifer Lawrence was a brilliant choice for Katniss Everdeen. The sound tracks of the film could have been more impressive and majestic and I felt that music was not played at the right points of the movie. The final wolf seen was well done, with a good surprise and exhilaration. More emphasis could be placed on district twelve but the tribute selection was quite intense. If the film had been extended it would have been beneficial, and although those who didn't read the books found the movie very good, those who did may have thought it boring and it was. They persisted too much on Peeta and Katniss' romance and not the the action. Overall an average but recommendable film. The ending was unclear, and it was not clarified or made apparent that Seneca crane had in fact been executed, and the scene where katniss learns of her mistake with the berries was too short and uneventful.
