I loved The Hunger Games movie. I will try to be as
vague as possible, so that I don't spoil anything for those who haven't seen
the movie yet. Yes, there were a few
bits that I would have liked to be more like the book, especially the
muttations, but whenever a book gets made into a movie, things have to go. Also, I would have liked the end of the movie
to be a bit more like the book, concerning Katniss and Peeta's relationship, it
was too positive. The movie was a lot of
action; a lot of the explanatory parts were very condensed, but since the movie
was almost 2.5 hours, that is understandable.
Gale also felt a little stuffed into the movie, but whatever.
Overall, I
was not disappointed. I enjoyed The
Hunger Games and my hubby did too. If they
made my hubby like this movie, I think they did a good job. This movie is definitely not just for fans of
the book. People who like action movies
will probably like this too. A warning
for those who think it’s all about the “teen romance”, it’s not. There is death, a lot of it (not that it’s
brutally violent, it’s rated PG-13).
It’s about 12-18 year-olds killing each other. In The Hunger Games, the rules are 24 go in,
only one comes out. Some of the people
in the theatre sounded shocked at some of the death scenes; what did you think
was going to happen? I described it once
to someone as homicidal Survivor… with teens.
One more
thing, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
It must still be leftover pregnancy hormones or something (they can last
for a year post-partum), because the same scene that got me a bit teary in the
book, got me in the movie too. I’m so
crazy! It’s not like I haven’t read the
book twice! I knew it was coming, but it
was so wonderfully done and pretty much what I had pictured in my head. There is a lot of emotion in this movie, so
don’t be surprised if you end up feeling whatever it is Katniss is feeling too.
They Saw
It Too:
