May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

I know EVERYONE will be blogging about this, but oh well.
So I was a lucky girl and got to see the Hunger Games opening night. Well, I got to see it a few hours before the opening night, just because I have an awesome sister who scored me tickets with her work.

The movie was pretty epic. I didn't really appreciate the camera work in the beginning, (I don't think it is necessary for the camera to be shaking like it's an action scene when she is simply walking to go hunting). It was also pretty disturbing to see kids brutally killing each other. But the book is disturbing, right? I haven't read the book in about two years, but from what I remember, the movie stayed pretty true to the book. I also didn't appreciate that they casted Liam Hemsworth to play Gale. I like Gale better in the books (up until the very end) and I was hoping that I would like Peeta better in the movie since it ends in his favor, but they had to cast Gale as a better looking guy. Sigh... what is a girl to do...?

Overall I really liked the movie. I thought it was really intense. I don't know if I would necessarily buy it since I'm not obsessed with the books like everyone else, but it was a good flick. I would definitely recommend it.
