don't understand all the negative reviews, it was great!

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2012)

I had been waiting ages to watch this movie and was really excited cause it was getting great reviews from various critics. I then read user reviews and was shocked at all the negative responses so I did lower my expectations. however, i watched it and thought it was absolutely brilliant! a lot of fans of the book are giving it a lot of stick cause it misses out a few scenes and some changes have been made but my opinion is, if its good enough for the author, suzanne collins, who did in fact have a part in writing the screenplay and whatnot, then it should be good enough for the fans. I think people are just nit-picking; film adaptations are very rarely better than the books so just deal with it. as for the comparisons to twilight...errr no. the hunger games is better in every way, from the acting to the script. the acting by Jennifer, Josh woody etc. is on another level. its just fab. Jennifer and Josh portray their characters to a tee. everything is explained great so even if you haven't read the books, its easy to understand - no confusion whatsoever. a decent film adaptation doesn't leave people who haven't read the books, confused. only reason I've not given it a 10/10 is cause I would have liked a bit more blood and gore cause I'm weird and like things like that. Ta for reading, much love x
