Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2012)

Okay first and for most, a huge thank you to Gary Ross for making this amazing phenomenon story into a movie. It is an extremely hard job to do that. I loved every second of it. Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress, I know she was going to be amazing the minute I watched "The Winter's Bone". You can feel every emotion, every feeling and sentiment through her performance. Many critiques pointed out her body as not being "Hungry" enough. I DO not agree with that, she is fit enough to portray Katniss, obviously she hunts she has muscles and even to bring this up as an issue is just ridiculous.
Furthermore, everyone in this movie did an excellent job and oh my god JOSH HUTCHERSON wow he really is Peeta. In general, I believe, the movie was really true to the book yes there are parts of it that are new and parts that we expected them to be in the movie but trust me I know hopefully they will build that up in "catching fire". Overall I give it 9/10 and it DID truly live up to my expectations and I think people need to be less picky.
