hey guys .this is so exciting. i literlly just got back from seeing the hunger games and know my opinion.the book and the movie are 2 different stories. the book has a small romantic flair between katniss and peeta through the entire book while the movie highlights all the action and forgets about the love intill the cave seen which was cut way to short.some other things i didnt like were that some of the facts were wrong.for example haymitch was supose to be bald and i dont blame him for not wanting to wear a bald cap and not show it off. one thing i can not get over is the forocious beast from the book. the sound was spot on i jumped out of my seat but the thing itself to me looked like a larger than life bull dog. on the ride home i said to my friend i expected more . yes i do understand this was their take on the book and the movie could not be made any longer but it was missing the romance which was what made me keep reading. overall the movie was great and i probally wouldent have enjoyed it as much if i did not read the book . their were gaps that needed to be filled. the ending of the movie i did not understand because i remembered reading that katniss and peeta were mad at eachother.the first thing i would have changed was at the begining when the words appeared on the screen givingh the backround knoledge i wish they narrated it. My two favorite things that they did right for this movie was pick charecters and how they change the point of view to the game host who narrated parts which i thought was cool.ill give the movie 4 stars . it was an okay  movie based on a great book. please leave your views and ratings below thanks.
