The best movie i have seen in my 20 years of life

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2014)

This was by far the best movie I have ever seen in my life. However, I haven't seen many so don't take it to heart all you hard core movie lovers!
It followed the book as well as it could which was great to those who read it and are fans. It was a very intense movie experience with all the action scenes and romance in between it all. The acting was superb from all cast members (the best I have ever seen). As a sequel it was definitely taken to the next level! It was an emotional roller-coaster to say the least.
However there was some things I would like to address.
First and foremost: Listen to the rating!! It is PG-13 for a reason. it is really violent but that is what makes the film so good. Anyways, the first time I saw this in theaters, I sat next to a maybe 9 yr old boy and halfway through he was cuddling up to his mother. Im sure the kid was traumatized after seeing this movie. Even if your under-aged child has read the book and knows what happens, it's very different seeing it all spilled out in front of you on a screen vs imagination.
My biggest critique would probably be the ending. It was a little cheesy how it ended with Katniss breathing heavy and staring into the camera. They should have used some movie magic to create a scene or something to make it end less abruptly. (although its hard because the book ends abruptly too)
The only other thing is the special effects. They were AMAZING!! don't get me wrong but sometimes it was obvious they were fake.
I'm sure the film has less of an impact on those who do not read the books and are not emotionally attached to all the characters. But I rated this one so high because it left me with my heart racing. It was the best movie I have ever seen.
