I am a huge fan of the book trilogy so obviously I was extremely overwhelmed about the first movie. The Hunger Games was the first movie that I read the book before seeing the movie so it was pretty awesome watching it on the big screen. The director (Gary Ross) did a pretty good job trying to make sure the movie was as similar as possible to the book. There was one thing that Gary changed that I didn't like. He made the Cornucopia jet black even though they specifically identify the Cornucopia to be shiny and golden in the book. Other than that it was pretty well made. I guess there was a few little scenes cut out but the director only has around 2 hours to explain the whole book. I watched the behind-the-scenes of the movie and I was pleased to find out that they had Susanne Collins (the author of the trilogy) behind set making sure that they stayed connected to the book. I've watched this movie plenty of time and will certainly watch it more in the future. I am overly excited about the second movie Catching Fire that will be coming out November this year!
Of course I will rate the movie 10 / 10
