I loved seeing the background of the games, but the switch to third person presented difficulties in bonding to some of the characters because we don't share Katniss's emotions. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm pondering on the implications to writing, etc. Lots of food for thought.<br /><br />BTW, I was really skeptical that blond JL could pull it off. But she was fantastic.Connie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774616533630985219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-3656528854373636272012-04-09T00:08:26.618-07:002012-04-09T00:08:26.618-07:00Team Gale for life!!!!!

I have a feeling the things you didn't love will also be the things I didn't love, but overall, I was really happy with the film and I've seen it three times now >_>;;Lori M.

JLaw was a fantastic Katniss, though I doubted her when she was initially cast. Oh, and that gif of Gale thinking about baking bread cracked me up. :) Looking forward to your next post on the movie!Katy Uppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725740174190514869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-864659040685619042012-04-06T07:52:27.424-07:002012-04-06T07:52:27.424-07:00Yay, awesome review! :D I also loved some of the t...Yay, awesome review! :D I also loved some of the things they added to the film, like showing Seneca's fate, seeing how the Gamemakers manipulated the arena, and seeing Gale watch Peeta and Katniss kiss (the theater I was in burst into laughter every time that happened, lol). And yes, the actors were great.<br /><br />Can't wait to read part 2 of your review! I think I'll have more to chime in there, even though I enjoyed the experience a lot as a whole. I'm just nitpicky. :Plindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524291742541007382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-87883262986685965942012-04-06T06:22:44.321-07:002012-04-06T06:22:44.321-07:00Great review!

I actually really enjoyed this movie and can't think of anything I'd like to have changed, aside from having Katniss recognize Glimmer in the cornucopia scene at the very end. I had my doubts about Jennifer Lawrence but she was fantastic. I can't think of anyone who would play Katniss better. She's definitely not exactly the way the character was described, but she did such a powerful emotional job that it made me forget!Julie Daohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814052162359300933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-47077891278676704972012-04-06T03:09:54.986-07:002012-04-06T03:09:54.986-07:00I really enjoyed the movie, I liked the books too....I really enjoyed the movie, I liked the books too.
