Best adaption of a book to film yet!

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2012)

I am usually very picky as I love a good movie and have usually read the book beforehand if it is an adaption. I have been very disappointed with most giving them a 6 or 7 rating at best.
Hunger Games stayed true to the vision, the characters and the story. It had everything that I loved about the book and the screenplay's omissions and additions where appropriate and sometimes brilliant.
Also I was worried about Hollywood watering down a female lead character, or changing her personality to match expected social norms. They did not. She is totally Katniss. The characters where all very good.
I was so impressed with everything overall. When I see an adaption of a book, this is what I want to see.
