Brilliant! Fantastic! Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2012)

I haven't read the book for this film and so unlike the people who have it didn't ruin anything for me! This film gets negative comments because it didn't follow the exact rules in the book but then if it was exactly the same it would be receiving negative comments that it's been copied straight out the book! This film was absolutely brilliant, although I still don't quite understand the logic of having people separated out into districts and being forced into participating, I was gripped throughout the entire film! The effects were brilliant and the acting was very good and although it's based on a book it's still very original. I also love the fact that it's totally unpredictable and you become very attached to some of the characters and you know that they'll eventually have to die because there can only be one winner. I cried very much when characters that I did like had to die and this is a very good sign because I hardly ever cry from films! This really was an excellent film and I definitely recommend it.
