Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2015)

I'm a big fan of the books and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The casts acting was superb especially Jennifer Lawrence's and Josh Hutchersons. Although it was a little slow paced at the beginning I'm glad the movie is being split into two as it gives more time to explore the book in depth. The movie lived up to my expectations although I was sad they cut out a few scenes from the book. Elizabeth banks was also hilarious in her role as Effie Trinket and I loved that she was included in this movie unlike in the books. The singing scene where katniss sings the hanging tree was one of my favourite scenes and in my pinion one of the most powerful scenes. I really like the way the director portrayed that. I'm not really sure why there are so many negative reviews as we all knew there wouldn't be as much action in the first half because this movie is supposed to be about how Katniss deals with everything that has happened. The second part of the movie will have all the action. Overall the movie was an excellent film.
