Last Friday the first movie of The Hunger Games trilogy hit the theaters everywhere. The movie started off to a great start. It was interesting, and gave you a lot of information you needed, for example the reasoning behind the games.
The book stuck to the book very well. There was only one minor part that they left out. I understand why they did it, seeing as the movie was already 2 hours and 22 minutes, but I was still sad to see this part missing. Other than this part the movie did a very good job getting everything in. I have heard a lot of people say that they pictures District 12 a lot differently, along with other things such as The Captiol, Cinna, and more. The fact is, everyone pictured them differently, and this is just one way someone pictured it in their minds.
The action packed movie was also full of heart wrenching parts. Rue for example. Even you did not have much time to get to know her in the movie, you quickly saw her innocence and quickly loved her. When she passed away I found this a very sad part in the movie. A mixture of helped pull this off, the music, the camera angles, and many other things.
Another thing that made this movie so strong was the acting. Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) did a fantastic job. A lot of what happens in the book happens within Katniss' mind and when put on the big screen a lot of which can be lost. Lawrence did a very good job with her acting. You could always tell something was going on within her mind. Also I found the Career tributes did a fantastic job in making you dislike them.
All in all this movie was fantastic and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone. I give it a 5 out of 5.
