Read the book first.......

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2012)

OK, so I just watched the Hunger Games.......... You should really read the book before going to see this movie. A lot was left out and the entire movie was rushed. I enjoyed the movie and thought it was good but from reading the book first, I was able to fill in a lot of the blanks. There was a lot of the movie that stayed true to the book but had I not read the book first, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much.
By reading the book first you can actually feel and understand what's going on mentally, physically and emotionally with the characters, all while the movie is rushed from one scene to another up until you get to the actual games. Even though the movie was 2 1/2 hours long, it still seemed like that if you didn't read the book, there's stuff you would not understand or feel regarding the character, their families, their home and their districts.
The scenery setting for the entire movie is pretty close to how I pictured it while read the book.
I give the movie a 7 and say that it's worth seeing if you read the book.
