Hunger Games

Just watched the Hunger Games. It was hmmm. Okay. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't super awesome either. The whole time I felt like something was missing, besides some of the plot, which is inevitable. I had to bring my brother and his friend along with my sisters, and the movie is PG-13 for a reason, they were giggling and talking the whole entire time whilst munching popcorn really loudly! So annoying.

The movie had a few really good moments, but it was very rushed. The characters didn't have enough time to develop, and Gale literally had maybe 10 min. screen time. Josh Hutcherson was actually a pretty good Peeta and Jennifer Lawerence was a pretty good Katniss, but the movie felt a bit empty. It was missing the small details that gave it life, life Katniss' love for the lamb stew, the girl without the tongue, the mutated dogs with the dead tributes, the bread from District 11, etc. That I believe would have made it a bit better. Also I didn't hear many songs in the movie, like the Taylor Swift one. I really liked the training scenes though, the girl who threw the knives was pretty awesome, and Peeta's camoflauge was so realistic-freaky!
