Read the book first.

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2012)

Fan of the books- finished them all within 4 days. Overall the movie was great! Of course like almost ANY movie based on a book there were some flaws. They did change a few things yes- nothing drastic. The story is still the same. However If you haven't read the book you WILL NOT understand a lot of it. There is soooo much more to the story than what they were able to squeeze into this movie. Honestly it was expected. It was already over two hours. They rushed the beginning- it was horribly sloppy. Other than that I cant complain. Oscar worthy? No. But worth seeing. I think everyone is being wayyy to harsh! If it was in their control to make this movie I don't think anyone could have done it much better.
Harry Potter> The Hunger Games> Twlight.
