The long-awaited Hunger Games

So, yesterday I went to the cinema and watched The Hunger Games. Well.... I'm not sayin' that it was bad.... just this camera movements... really? They really had to hire Michael J. Fox as cameraman? My apologise this was a really bad joke (actually I respect and love Michael, sorry). But anyway I've got literally seasick in the first ten minutes and had a terribly headache during the whole 144 minutes.

Now about the story, I liked it. Well, I've already read the trilogy and it was so good, that I became a big fan, so it didn't surprise me at all! The script pretty much followed the book, expect some extra scenes, which -I have to admit- were great. The one with Seneca Crane at the end (those who have seen the movie now what I'm talking about) was brilliant.

And finally lets talk about the actors and actresses. First of all: Josh Hutcherson. Well I have to admit that I fell in love with Peeta during the books, so it wasn't too hard to make me like the character in the movie, and Josh was good, maybe he will be an actor afterall.

When I first heard that Jennifer Lawrence will play our heroine, Katniss I had some doubts. I don't say she isn't talented, it's the opposite - I just couldn't imagine her as a starving teenager. I haven't seen her in any other film than X-Men: Firts class and I loved her, but she wasn't that... thin, you know... Don't get me wrong she wasn't fat she was just curvy - like me. But I was relieved when I saw the first trailer, and now I have to say she didn't make me disappointed.

About the supporting roles. Of course I should mention Lenny Kravitz, well I'm not a big fan of him, but he wasn't bad, he wasn't that good either, but as my Brother said he's got one of the most loveable character that's why I can't say a bad word about him.
There were a lot of articles about the tributes. Well... I happened to like a lot the finale with Cato but it wasn't the actor's merit (he was pretty average) but he's got some cool lines, which were an extra, the book doesn't contain them by the way.

So overall, It was a 7/1o (it would be 8 whitout the bad camera)
