**WARNING! This post may contain spoilers, if you haven't seen the movie but read the books it won't be that bad. If you haven't seen the movie or read the books -VIRTUAL SMACK- get on it!!**
Okay, so I went on midnight of the night it was released and due to school reasons my computer was occupied with editing software so I could get my projects done before their due date. But all of that is over now so I can officially do my review on the Hunger Games movie.
First impression of the MOVIE, great movie. I LOVED IT! I really want to go back to theatres and see it again if i can get enough money around to do so. The way that they incorporated the game-makers into it unlike how it was portrayed in the books was ingenious. I felt like the movie gave you a better feel of just how in control the game makers actually were. In the books Katniss would always tell you what she thought the game makers were doing and that gave you the idea of their power. But the movie actually showed them manipulating it to the point of making certain trees fall at the touch of the screen. Their power was pushed forth ten fold and in my own honest opinion this made the movie great.
Now for the part of every review of a movie based on a book. *A-hem* The parts of the book I WISH had been included in the movie or the parts the movie messed up. Starting off from the beginning and working our way through. Katniss (as all who have read the book know) received the pin from madge. She didn't buy it while in the shopping the Hob. And continueing with the pin aspect of it, Cinna made it seem like he had to hide it on her person. The games allowed for each tribute to brink a token into the games that represented their district and reminded them of home. Now you can't do anything drastic like bring in a ring that has a poisonous spike pop out of it (*cough cough* Glimmer *cough cough*) but a pin isn't harmful at all. Moving on to something I wanted to see in the movie was Haymitch falling off the stage. I don't think that it would have harmed anything, and the rest of the capital was supposed to be making fun of them because of his actions. Then the only other problem I had was how Peeta managed to escape the games with BOTH OF HIS LEGS. Peeta was supposed to loose a leg to a mutt or something (i can't exactly recall at the moment) yet Josh Hutcherson just prances out of the games unharmed with all of his limbs.
Those were the only things I didn't all together like about the movie. If you saw something you didn't like or would like to see included please leave a comment. Over-all i thought it was a GREAT movie and will probably go and see it again. Well that's all for now.
