Loved it despite some minor plot changes

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2012)

Loved it I am a 23 year old who read the books over a year ago and loved them to death. I read all 3 in 3 days they were so good and so was very excited to see the movie. Its always interesting to see what view of the story the movie will take.
Now I reread the book right before watching the movie and so I caught all the little changes. And yes the books are better than the movie but thats almost always the case.
Despite all that it was a great movie, one that i would definitely watch again. The acting was great and whenever I read the books i will see Jennifer and Josh as Katniss and Peeta. They noted all the important aspects of the book though they didn't go into a lot of depth. Someone else commented that they didn't focus enough on Gale and Peeta's relationship with Katniss, but to me the romance triangle was never the primary point of the book, so it didn't bother me that much. Also seeing as it was already 2.5 hours, there wasn't much they could do. I hope they split the last the next two books into two movies a piece though.
Overall the effects were great, lots of action, a great story line and great actors. Loved it and will definitely pre-order the DVD :) However to anyone who hasn't read the books, I highly recommend you do so that you have a better understanding of the movie.
