the Hunger Games, a great surprise

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2012)

I was proved wrong when walking into the cinema with low expectations, thinking "well, yet another twilight flick to get over with". Having not read the book or even heard of the series before seeing the trailer, I was surprised of how wrong I had been. When walking home from the cinema, I kept asking myself the question, why, why it wasn't great, what made it bad. And I found myself unable to answer my own questions. Other movies adapted from books, where I hadn't read the book before seeing the movie, I hated to ask the question "but, why did he say that or why did that happen?" and getting the answer "you gotta read the book to understand that". But after watching the Hunger Games, the question I have is, what's gonna happen next? So while waiting for the sequel, I'll gladly recommend The Hunger Games to others.
