The best film adaption! -Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2012)

What a fantastic movie! As a big fan of the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, I went to see the film adaption and was so pleasantly surprised. Director Gary Ross has done an exceptional job bringing the fantastic beginning of the epic trilogy to the screens and producing it in such a way that it will leave the audience hungry for more!
The Hunger Games of 16-year-old hunter, Katniss Everdeen who lives in the fantastical and futuristic world of Panem. Every year, there is an important and popular television show called "The Hunger Games" where two tributes (one male and one female) from each of the twelve districts and made to compete to the death for the entertainment of the ruling and powerful, Capitol. Katniss Everdeen, a courageous and independent girl who has to hunt food to feed her family finds herself being the tribute from district 12, the poorest district if Panem where most of the civilians live in poverty. And there, the audience goes on an epic adventure.
In a way, the movie "The hunger Games" was amazing and could be better than the book. The setting and sceneries were beautifully filmed. Gary Ross got is absolutely right with the way the districts, the Capitol and the arena of the games were supposed to be like and this brought so much life and beauty to the movie. The extra scenes added to the movie where we could watch the actions of the game-makers as they plotted the games, the commentators and the reaction of the audience in the district and the Capitol gives more insights that the novel. I was really impressed with the cast, Jennifer Laurence as Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Elizabeth Banks as Effie, Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman (my favorite) and all the tributes. All these actors played the character the way it was supposed to be. The action scenes were brilliant ; the fight in the Cornocopia, the hounds, the attack of the tracker jackers, etc. could have not been more better. Gary Ross ignored a few minor which will be noticed by those who have read the book but the end result was brilliant and epic as the storyline was so well explained. The Hunger Games is the best film adaption I have ever seen!
I cannot express my thoughts more by saying that The Hunger Games is a must-see and is guaranteed to disappoint anyone!
