If you read the book, NOT GOOD... If you have not, it's confusing...

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2012)

I was really looking forward to this movie especially after reading the books, and I am not one of those delusional people who believe the movie will not change at all compared to the book. I usually like most movies when based on the book. But The hunger games movie didn't even try to retain some of the story, feelings, or anything else that made the books great. I believe the first Harry Potter film did better from book to the big screen than this. Heck, I disliked The Golden Compass movie (not because of the book, I never read it before seeing the movie) but I loved it compared to The Hunger Games. I was so disappointed that I actually left the theater mad.
Now the actors they chose were decent for the characters, except for Haymitch. At first I thought he would be an awesome choice, but he didn't even play into the character very well. He was supposed to be an a bit of a jerk and he was actually very nice... he wasn't supposed to be.
Lastly, the cinematography was like blair witch, clover, field... basically it was moving around so much It made me and most people in the theater dizzy.
