Disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (8 April 2012)

I was so excited when I heard they were doing a movie on The Hunger Games...that being said when I actually watched it I was so disappointed.
First off the opening of the movie was awful.It was so boring to me.Just text telling a little bout the uprising and then right into district 12 where they didn't really do much character developments. And the fact that Gale gives Katniss a biscuit and she says"oh my god is this real" doesn't really show that they are starving and this is something that is considered rare and a luxury for district 12. I hate movies where I have to explain things to my parents on why something is happening.And I had to explain a lot to them about this movie.My dad even stated my explanation was better then the movie itself.I like a movie that has a story that even people who haven't read the books can follow. This movie was decent but it seriously failed its fan base.I saw a review on TV that said this was extremely violent.And when I was watching I was wondering when the extreme violence was going to happen.They didn't really show much in regards to extreme violence. And the love story between Peeta and Katniss was horrible.You didn't really get that Katniss was falling for Peeta.And one particular scene that irked me was the scene where Thresh pulls Clove off of Katniss and kills Clove then turns on Katniss.In the movie he says"just this once district 12" and runs off.I was sitting there thinking they couldn't even get that one scene right.Safe to say its a waste of time to someone who read the books.
