Review of The Hunger Games (2012) by D.a. Z — 29 Mar 2014
As supremely cinematic and ridiculously faithful The Hunger Games was to the novel, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. The characters were so two-dimensional that I wouldn't have cared much for them if I hadn't of grown so attached to them in the novels.
Still, the film did an incredible job of explaining key factors of the Games via The Capitol, and their portrayal of the reactions occurring in the District were spectacularly creative. The only thing missing: Peeta's heartbreaking reaction to Katniss's lies at the ending.
Would that have been SO difficult to add?
