book lovers, you will probably be disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2012)

I just got back from seeing The Hunger Games, I've been waiting for this film for weeks after reading the first two books and am currently reading the third one I would definitely consider myself caught up in the hype. I was so excited to see the movie and once I got there I found my self immediately disappointed. People keep on posting here how it's a great interpretation of the book and I completely disagree. The book was much much much better. There was so much left out of the movie that really helped to understand the story. I feel like they left out a lot of information that set the stage like information about the capital and katniss's relationships with her family, gale, and peeta. In the movie they made it seem like katniss had little to no relationship with peeta and was not close to him. Whereas in the book you see so much more chemistry between them that you want katniss to fall for him in the movie you barley get to know peeta's character. Its hard to judge the movie for people who have not read the books , you might really like it. My recommendation to the people who have not read the book read it and don't see the movie. or see the movie and then read the book. I also feel like the movie ended in such a way that it does not set it up properly for the next book/movie. Well see what is to come but I'm hoping for more from the next one, I hope I'm not let down
