Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (19 August 2012)

Firstly giving it a 4 only because at times it was enjoyable, the book was really awesome loved everything about it but the movie just falls flat in every way. - there is no insight into the relationships at all, if you've never read the books you would have no idea who the hell Gale was and what the point of him even being in the film was, you just have no idea about anyones relationships, rue and katniss, katniss and peeta , making all these so called emotional scenes just fall flat. - somethings had no significance in the film, when Katniss has the flash back about her fathers death they barely mention him so if you haven't read the book would have no idea what that flash back was about - you didn't really get a sense of who the other tributes were. - In regards to the actually hunger games, i've never been so disappointed, it seemed to just fly by, one minute they were they the next they weren't , the whole Peeta and Katniss thing in the hunger games was not given nearly as much attention, which is really significant. - you don't get the sense of what the hell is going on and why they have to have the hunger games as much as you really should.
Based on this film it makes me feel that the book might not translate well to movies, Katniss is the books and her thought and feelings are no where in the film, i would honestly love a katniss narration in the film.
to sum up, if you've read the book prepare to be seriously annoyed and disappointed and if you've not read it you may enjoy it but also might be totally confused.
