The Hunger Games Movie Review Part 1

So, I've finally seen this movie, and I. LOVED. IT. It was awesome! It didnt stick as close to the book as Catching Fire did but it was great. I think I have to say that I liked it better than Catching Fire (sorry Callie). So...where to start...

I think I HAVE to start with the Career Tributes. They were pretty

good in the movie. The actors were good I think...although I'm not

a total fan of Jack Quaid or Leven Rambin as Marvel and Glimmer, they did a good job, only

Alexander Ludwig and Isabelle Fuhrman took it home as Cato and Clove.

Careers again...

Haymitch and Effie...I have to say Haymitch is probably one 

of my favorite characters. He's hilarious and yet you can see what

the games did to HIM, and yet he still tries to help the tributes survive. I 

absolutely loved the part  when Effie's freaking out about Katniss

shooting the apple, and Haymitch gives Catnip a thumbs up and 

basically tells her "good job!"

Effie drives me nuts. She's such a "everything has to be perfect" so

of person it's disgusting...She does bring a very good light hearted

humor into the movie though. The two definitely have their disagreements, 

but there's also 

a respect they have for each other that's always there

Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks

did a good job in my personal opinion. 

Cinna happens to be my dad's favorite character. He said he likes

Cinna because he's kind, and actually cares about the tributes

he works with. He doesn't belong in the capitol, and he actually

tries to help Katniss.

Gale is...well...I'm not sure how to describe him. He cares

about Katniss and tries to make her feel better at the reaping. 

You know, my dad wasnt sure about the Hunger Games when

I started reading them, and then after he watched it with me one day

I think he sort of changed his mind...because a couple days later, when

I was getting read to watch it again, he says "You know...I'm still not 

convinced..." and he pauses so I thought he was going to say something 

along the lines of "that the Hunger Games is a good thing" or something

like that, but no..he says "...that she liked that one guy". I was like...*expressionless

face*.  He doesn't think that Katniss likes Peeta. He ships Katniss and Gale.

Katniss Everdeen of course. She was somewhat intimidated by the Careers,

especially Cato, and yet she showed determination, and did not give up.

Like I said in my Catching Fire Review, I relate to Katniss. You can read about

it in the review.

Okay...I LOVED Rue. She was so sweet and she was only 12!

TWELVE!!!! What is the Capitol's problem?!?! She warned Katniss

about the tracker jackers, rescued her, and helped Katniss blow up the Career's supplies. And then

she dies? NOT. OKAY! NOT EVEN!

Peeta Mellark...he actually loves Katniss. She doesnt see it at first...

Peeta is a baker. He's not much of a fighter and has a kind heart. 

There are so many characters and topics to discuss, so I'll post Part 2 later!
