I just recently read the books, and I am pretty impressed with this adaptation of them. There are a few necessary changes to make the story even *possible* to tell in movie format - so much of the book takes place inside Katniss' head, it wouldn't make any sense if it was done exactly like that. The movie manages to capture the spirit of the books perfectly, however, and some of the casting is inspired (Stanley Tucci in particular is PERFECT in his small role). Usually I am bored or annoyed by movie adaptations of books I have already read, but this made me interested in the story all over again. Nicely done. 4 stars.
Flickchart: #394, below Ghost Town and above Nick of Time.
