To watch with an open mind

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2012)

Just to start, I'm a huge fan of The Hunger Games books. And yes, I really need to say that there's a to many things different in the movie (like the absence of Madge, ) , but also things that's not in the book (like the last speech of Cato). About the actors I have to say that all of them are amazing... excepting some scenes with Josh Hutcherson, that sometimes seems very blocked, but nothing that can disturb our attention to the film. Gary Ross did an amazing job! what happens is that the book is narrated all the time by Katniss and the story happens on what she sees and feels. But the movie shows all about the gamemakers and all that occurs behind the hunger games, what's really interesting. There's maybe some poor effects, but maybe that's not the most important thing on this movie. I think we have to watch this movie not expecting something like Twilight or Harry Potter, with fantasy. Yes, there's one romantic scene that can dissatisfy some people, but the story line is not focused on that. So just watch this movie thinking about all the criticism it proposes about our world.
