Could have been better!

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2012)

Like many of the Hunger Games trilogy book fans I waited for this movie to come out and had extremely high hopes. Although I did not hate the film, and felt it had some good moments, I felt they didn't spend the money on effects and really making this movie as grand as it deserves to be. It honestly comes off as cheap. The effects, like the fire costume were really bad! I am sorry, but there were movies made years ago that are more stunning. Over all, it was nice to see my favorite characters come to life! Haymitch is exactly as I imagined. And Rue is awesome! I will definitely see the next two films (whenever they come out, seems that they are really spreading them out.) I don't know how I would have felt if I didn't read the booksbut I would still say, with an amazing story such as the Hunger Games, they should have done better!
