The best literary adaptation seen in a long time

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2014)

The film 'The Hunger Games' queues in the first category of my favorite movies. Because of many action scenes, it contains a lot of tension. But there are also touching scenes which make the film sentimental. The story is compelling and also understandable for people who did not read the book. The introduction explains the situation of the character's life well, so that the audience can follow the subsequent storyline. The actors perform their role heavenly, so they act convincing. They are well chosen, so they match into the atmosphere. The costumes and the make-up underline the story and are conducive to the ambiance. Based on the clothes, you can notice the life situations of the characters. The backdrops of landscape and sceneries seem real and they are animated well. The same applies to the special effects. They are not used too often, but they are, like in every new film, amazing. I also love the soundtrack. It is fantastic, touching and matches the feeling of every scene perfectly. The method of utilizing no music is also used because the missing of music sometimes expresses more than every piece of music. The film "The Hunger Games" is very close to the book. That's why it is the best adaptation we have seen for a long time. This film is unique because there are just a few films which have this kind of ending. This ending whets the audience's interest for the next parts. All in all the film is a perfect mixture of action packed and sad scenes. It is a good choice to watch the recommendable film.
