Good

Rating: 3/10 (29 August 2012)

Well, I just watched the Hunger Games, and I personally like the book a lot better. To me, the movie just didn't have that same feel. For one thing, it kinda felt too rushed to me (seeing as the book was a whopping 384 pages, not a short book by any means) and to me the movie just wasn't able to convey all the same emotions experienced while reading it. Having said that, I do think that they did a good job of portraying Gale, Prim, and some other key characters accurately. I do kind of wish though that a little more was put into Thresh and Rue (though they did do a fair job with her) and I would agree that it was kinda violent, though it was only semi-realistic for the most part (for obvious reasons of course). Over all though, I would say it was a fair movie, though I much prefer movies like The Chronicles of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
