not terrible but not the best movie ever

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2012)

I love the Hunger Games books. When my best friend told me they were making a movie about the first book i was super excited about seeing the movie. I saw it after it had been out for four days and all my friends who saw it before me said it was really good. If you haven't read the book I'm sure you would find it a great movie, but i thought it was kind of average. Some of the parts where really close to the book but others where completely different... e.g. the wolf mutts didn't look anything like they were described in the book and rue's role wasn't that big in the movie, whereas it was more significant in the book. I also found the action scenes really hard to follow because it was all blurry close ups and you couldn't figure out who was fighting who like when the tributes first entered the arena and they are all running for back packs and weapon I had no idea what was going on until Katniss had run into the forest.
Overall The Hunger Games wasn't a terrible movie but in my opinion it wasn't the best movie I have ever seen. BUT I STILL AM A HUGE FAN OF THE BOOKS!!!
