Loyal to the book

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2013)

This movie was great for me, but not perfect.
First, i got to say it follows everything that is on the book. Every detail needed to understand the story is in there. And the plot is well directed to, what i'm guessing, Suzanne Collins wanted. This movie is completely different from the first one. Don't expect to see the same Hunger Games. From the beginning of this movie (and book) is a whole new story.
But here is the reason why this movie is not a 10. If you haven't read the book, you won't understand some of the little details that make the book so enjoyable. And also there are some other parts of the book that are not very important for the plot, but makes it really interesting and could add more drama to the movie.
Talking about the director, i see he did a great job catching the essence of the book and putting it in a picture. Francis Lawrence did take the reins and accomplish what the book did... Make us want to see the next movie soon.
The acting was really good, but i'm gonna focus only in Jennifer Lawrence and say just one thing: she shows us why she already win an Oscar!
The last i want to say is: i'm expecting the next movie. But this one, is a great movie and is speaking for itself at the box office.
