Amazing Movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2013)

I personally loved this movie. No, it didn't have everything from the book, but when does that ever happen? I try not to compare movies to the books because I will just end up disappointed. Movies have to be a little different from the book. It's impossible to get them exactly the same, and I think they did a great job at making this movie. I loved all the actors they chose (although I was a little unsure about Josh Hutcherson as Peeta at first). Donald Sutherland was spot-on for President Snow, and I thought Amandla Stenberg as Rue was great (I still don't understand why so many people were surprised she was black when it is clearly stated in the book). Her death was so sad! I almost cried because she played the part so well. I don't really have any complaints about this movie except that I wish it could have been longer! I can't wait until Catching Fire comes out so that I can see more of this great series on the big screen!!
