Loved the Book, A Great Adaptation!!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2012)

The Hunger Games (**** out of 5) - The loved the books, and the movie was true to the story!!!! An excellent adaptation. The movie was dead on, except for a few minor deviations; first being that the mayor's daughter gave Katniss the Mockingjay pin and not Prim..... but a minor point. The movie fulfill my every whim.... though I was expecting Cenna (Lenny Kravis) to be a little more flamboyant....lol!!!! My most anticipated scene was when the tributes... are first introduced in the Capitol.... from the book, the flaming costumes of peter and Katniss were remarkably described, and again the film did not disappoint. A small scene that must ended up on the cutting room floor, but which I enjoyed in the book, was when the loaf of bread from District 11 was delivered to Katniss and Peter; after Rune had passed. But all in all, two thumbs way up!!!! A fantastic film, a phenomenal book..... an incredible night out..... This film will not disappoint even the most avid fan!!!! I highly recommend!!!!!
