Thursday Thoughts: The Hunger Games

 Ok so the Hunger Games movie has been in theaters for a while now.  I would like to know what you all liked and didn't like about the movie vs. the book!

Here is my list:

I loved that we got to see a little bit about the capital.  Things that in the book you didn't know.  As the book is set in the POV of nothing but Katniss it makes the movie much better.  I look at it this way.  In a book you are just that person but in a movie you are more like a goddess looking down on everyone seeing everything that is going on.  

The changes that they made didn't make the movie any less than the book.  I know they cut a lot out.  But as far as I'm concerned they did a wonderful job.  I think the movie people learned a lot when they did Harry Potter and Twilight.  They learned that there are things you HAVE to do to make the movie live up to the book.  

The one thing that I didn't like was the relationship with Katniss and Cinna.  I think all in all that it didn't feel like they gave them enough time to have one.  
The other thing I didn't like was Haymitch.  I don't think they started out with his charter the right way.  I mean ya he looked drunk but it didn't seem the same as in the book.  
So what did you like and not so much like. 
And were any of the actors not right for the part?
