Fantastic adaptation to the hunger games!

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2012)

Let me just say that I have read the books many times, at least five times each. I have been looking forward to this movie ever since they announced that lionsgate had acquired the rights to make the film. That being said, I have been slightly dreading the release of the film because I was so afraid that they would butcher my favorite books ever. I am very, very happy to say that that did not happen!
My girlfriend made me read these books and I was not expecting to enjoy a book starring a 16 year old girl but suzzanne Collins is a genius and truly knows how to capture an audience's imagination. I was worried that lionsgate would be unable to do the same thing, even though I was ecstatic about the hiring of Jennifer Lawrence (she is an incredible actress!) I am glad to say that they completely blew me away! I have no idea why people are complaining about character development, they did an incredible job with that, and why they are saying katniss should have been skinnier; I would rather take a gorgeous and talented Jennifer Lawrence over some anorexic terrible actress like Kristen Stewart. and I loved the shaky camera, it makes you feel like you are right there in the action. Incredible movie, way to go Gary Ross and Co.! I intend to sere this movie many more times!
