Amazing view of the book turned into a movie!

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2012)

I must say, I have been waiting for this film since the summer. In addition I read the Hunger Games two more times so that I would know what would be happening and that I wouldn't miss a single detail. The film stayed true to the book, but I would have to say that it did speed up some parts that should have not been missed out on. The movie was mostly in the point of view of Katniss and it took us in her journey, which was well thought out and it showed on the screen. *spoiler alert*the ending part was not close to the book's ending at all and it upset me, because this was a very important piece of information. But all in all, this movie was excellent and stayed true to what it was meant to be. I still say that reading the book first is better because you will have some background knowledge and usually the book is better than the movie. Now I can not wait for Catching Fire!
