Went to see The Hunger Games today in the cinema. I was really sceptical from the minute I finished the books last january as to how they would pull it off. I didn’t want to see another twilight type thing.
However, they pretty much nailed it on the head. I can’t comment about how it comes across to non-readers, or if they’d understand some of the underlying strategies in it (for instance, its not a tale of love, but of deception and survival) but for me it was excellent. I really loved the portrail of the capitol people too, exactly what I had imagined. Still would’ve prefered to see Philip Seymore Hoffman as Haymitch, and Steve Buschemi as president Snow however!
