According to Parade magazine, The Hunger Games was the most anticipated movie of 2012. The first, in a three, possibly four motion picture series was released this past Thursday at midnight. I had reserved my ticket back in February and had been anxiously awaiting my chance to see it. Overall, I believe the movie was true to the book, and any small changes they did make, did not directly impact the plot.
Some differences include:
-Madge is eliminated from the movie all together, therefore Katniss buys the mockingjay pin herself.
-While the games take place, Seneca Crane is shown with other Gamemakers creating the events inside the arena.
-The mutated dogs at the finale of the games do not have the dead tributes features.
Again, none of these changes made the movie any less fantastic, and as Suzanne Collins is listed as one of the screenwriters of the movie, she obviously was okay with the changes as well.
The theater was completely full when I went yesterday evening, and many people were dressed for the occasion. One fan, was dressed at Finnick Odair (trident and all) who appears in Catching Fire. Others wore black and gold, or homemade Hunger Games t-shirts.
The movie had some very sentimental moments as did the book. *Spoiler* When Rue died, the entire audience in the theater put their hands up in the traditional three-finger salute.
If you haven't already read the book, I absolutely suggest you do, and then of course, go see the movie!
