Okay, I haven’t written a blog in a while, so I’m gonna write a review of The Hunger Games movie.
First off, I loved the movie. I liked the book better, but that’s because I like amost all books better than the movie.
The movie was not at all what I expected. It was about 75%-80% divergent from the book. It captured 100% of what the book was about, but just the gist. I counted about 50 things that were different from the book, but I don’t care much. In fact, I’m actually glad that it didn’t quote 100% of the book. If it had, the movie would have been atleast 4 hours long. Me personally, I can’t sit in a seat for 1 hour without moving.
I like how, since it was a movie, you were able to see what was happening behind the scenes, meaning you got to see what others were doing and saying while the games were going on. I love how Gale’s face looked super mad when he saw Katniss and Peeta kiss. The whole theatre laughed. Also liked that Rue’s death wasn’t as gruesome as I thought it would be. It was still sad, though. I don’t think there was a single dry eye in the crowd. I’m assuming that the man in district 11 that began to revolt was Rue’s father.
Okay, so things I disliked. For one, the mutts weren’t made to resemble the dead tributes. I was looking forward to seeing what they looked like. Second, the movie seemed like it was rushing and leaving out details that seemed important or vital, like Peeta being drugged, loosing his leg, etc. Lastly, I’m sorry, I wanted more blood. Especially with an arrow that was supposed to go through Marvel’s neck.
Well, those are minor. It’s late, I’ll talk about the actors tomorrow. Got school in the morning.
