-Effie Trinket, The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins
Who watched The Hunger Games opening weekend? I did! That movie my friends was everything that I had hoped for. Except for a minimal lack of accuracy with the book. In the book we are shown with the tributes being savage when killing. The movie was rated PG-13 so that obviously made the gory scenes limited to a minimum.
Jennifer Lawrence, who played the character of Katniss Evergreen, was the perfect fit to this role. She has this emotionless face expression, that fits perfectly with the character. What I had pictured about Katniss was well portrayed in the movie and the actress, Jennifer, was able to even amplified that attitude farther.
For a movie made from kids killing each other, it was pretty good. People where expecting that it was going to be very gory like the book, so some parents were concerned about letting their kids see it. I for one wasn't bothered, I just wanted to see the film. Others came to me and asked me if it was a chick flick. Well I for one haven't seen a chick flick that involves killings of kids. This movie is worth paying for. This movie has become #1 in the box office, it has made over $155 million opening weekend. Surpassing Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1. I rate this movie 5 Stars out of 5, and its a must see movie. There has been confirmation that there's going to be a second part of the #1 book trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
All of you who did see the movie, did you guys like it? leave a comment below with thoughts. Till next time.
Interesting review. I feel compelled to write a response because nearly everyone in class saw it and had some sort of complicated opinion about it, myself included. Originally, I didn't even know it was a book! It wasn't until I had to read it for our AWESOME S.I class (plug plug) that I read it and was actually intrigued. But I must confess that I was intrigued only because it was, as Emily puts it, like "candy". It wasn't difficult to understand, it was straight forward narrative. So, keeping this in mind, I thought the film was going to be the same thing, and to my dissatisfaction, it was. The reason why I wasn't as interested in the film is because it lacked the depth. What was forgivable in the book was unacceptable in the movie. The only reason why I found the movie remotely interesting was because I knew the nuances that were going on, the one's that weren't explained. So basically everyone that didn't read the book were missing out on what was implied, which is everything in a story like this. I can go on longer but I'll save that for another time. Good review, I hope to see many more!
