Read the book first, please.

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2019)

This movie was in it's whole, better than I thought it would be. Making a book-to-movie adaptation can be very hard, especially when you have to try and find a way to portray a character as complex and analytical as Katniss. But I have to give kudos to Jennifer Lawrence for taking on that role, and playing her beautifully. I'll admit, she was a bit more agressive and impulsive than the book version, but it's easily forgivable considering Katniss's thought life being just as cynical and sometimes aggressive. I relate to her very much. She wasn't in it for the glory. She sacrificed herself for her sister and mother, and because she knew she had a better chance of surviving. She has a sense of duty stronger than most fictional characters I've read about.
To people who haven't read the book, I can understand if they don't like it. There are a lot of plot points that weren't explained properly, and for a person who's diving into this movie without having read the book, it can be very confusing, and honestly just unsatisfactory. So, if you want to understand the movie, and maybe enjoy it more, I highly reccommend reading the book.
