Jennifer Lawrence is pure gold

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2014)

This is an amazing movie in general. Being a film student and a Hunger-Games Books lover, i just cant get enough of this film. i watched it twice in theaters and i have lost the times i have seen the blue-ray edition.
It gets the feeling of the books and i could hear Ms. Collins words in my head while watching the movie. Francis Lawrence was a great choice, has great vision and knows how to engage with the non-reader of the trilogy public.
But the reason i wanted to write this review is non other than Jennifer Lawrence. This girl is amazing. Pure gold. Her talent is huge and I'm sure she is going to become even greater that Meryl Streep (and thats no easy thing). It doesn't matter if it a crazy role (like Silver Linnings Playbook and American Hustle) or a serious role (Winters bone) or an action role (Katniss) she does it with her heart and should and she nails it every single time she is on screen.
She became Katniss. Period. I decided to re-read the books after watching this movie and was amazed by my realization that the Katniss Ms. Collins describes in her books is the same Katniss Ms.Lawrence has created on screen.
The only choice i didn't love was the scene in the training center elevator with Johanna Mason. Ms. Lawrence reaction was, i think, more herself than Katniss. But i have heard must people love it and said that was a pure Katniss reaction.
I cant wait for the next Jennifer Lawrence movie to come out. Even if it sucks I'm going to see it just for her. Amazing talent.
Amazing movie. Worth every penny i paid for theater tickets and for the Blue-ray special edition. If you have not seen it, go see it now!
