Well done and worth the price of a ticket..

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2012)

I will keep this Short. Well cast. story line is followed very close to the book. Some characters not included though that would have made it better over all which is one reason I kept my rating as a 9. It is hard to but a book into a 2 hour movie and not lose parts of the story line that prove to be important especially if there is to be a sequel or two which I am sure there is being as how this is the 1st book of a trilogy. The relationship between Katniss and Peta and Gail was not fleshed out enough which is a mistake because it is so central to the book series. This is perhaps my biggest disappointment. I think the theme however is too adult for the 14 and under crowd although the violence is kept very mild by most standards. It is played out but not overly graphic. The language is mild and there is no great sexual overtones which is refreshing. My summary is go and see it. It is well worth the cost of a ticket.
