Movie Review: The Hunger Games


So of course right after reading the books I had to watch the movie! And I had to say... I should've watched the movie first while I had the chance. I don't know if it was because I was watching it online but the quality was really bad... everything seemed like it was from an old movie and that I was watching The Wizard of Oz when they got to the capitol...

Well probably because I read the books I didn't like it... but they just left out some stuff I was looking forward to (as of most movies when it is based of a book).
I suppose it's because the book is narrated in first person... and in the movie you don't want to do voice overs, so it's not as impacting as you don't know what the characters are thinking, since they are very silent in the movies.

I must say though, the acting wasn't bad... could be better of course. I don't see what all the fuss was about the cast. I liked the cast... Rue was wonderful and Cinna was exactly as I imagined him (except without the beard).

I found myself crying at Rue's death in the movies because of when District 11 held up the three fingers. I got shivers and I stared crying... no idea why... I liked that part but not that much.

Anyways it was good to watch but I don't think I'll watch Catching Fire... unless it's to see Finnick. (That HAWTIE)
