Best thing ever!

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2014)

10/10 STARS! This movie was so amazing! I read the books, and was a tinsy bit let down by the shaky camera and editing of the first movie. I really liked that one, but I don't know how I could have handled the other movies with that. And then, Gary Ross was replaced by Francis Lawrence. And for God's sake, that saved the movies. The atmosphere felt just like when reading the book, if not better. The soundtrack was beautiful and some scenes were so well done that I got the chills (District 11 scene, Cinna's death, the rising to the arena, jabberjays scene, destruction of the force field, Katniss staring angrily at the screen). Everything wrong with The Hunger Games was fixed here. Jennifer Lawrence's acting is getting better and she did a terrific job. Can't wait for the other movies now that Francis Lawrence is directing them!
