My review of the movie . . .
I believe lionsgate did an okay job recreating the book, but they left out some things that they could use later in the series. The movie was all-round fantastically done, but the books were definitely better (aren't they always). It was VERY emotional and pretty well scripted. All lot of people were asking if they showed the violence, and truly, the hid it very well, but if they had to show it, it wasn't that gruesome or bad. I personally didn't like that they left out the avoxes and Madge, and they left out a lot when Katniss was with Peeta in the arena, in general. Overall I give this movie an nine-out-of-ten star rating for lionsgate's version of the Hunger Games.
