Could have been better

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2012)

I won advanced tickets and saw the movie on Wednesday. I think the tributes made the games feel like a joke. They seemed to happy and laughed to much when they were chasing after Katniss. Katniss's relationship with Rue wasn't explained and they didn't even mention District 13. Another thing was Buttercup wasn't orange, he was black & white. Is it really that hard to find an ugly orange cat?! Both Prim's and Peeta's eyes were brown, not blue like they were said to have been. And the Cornucopia wasn't gold,honestly the built it themselves, they could have painted it at least. There were so many ways they could have made it seem more like the book. The movie wasn't nearly as deep as the book. There was no near-death of Peeta or near dehydration of Katniss. But the capitol was almost spot- on. But I was wondering where Octavia & the rest of the prep-team was! The acting was amazing, but Jennifer Lawrence just seemed a little bit to old to play Katniss. But, I guess maturity comes young when your starving to death.
