Mockingjay Part 1


I have recently finished Mockingjay, the book, and part 1 of the movie is now out.




I think the movie should be close to the book, because those of you that know me well will know that I HATE  movies that change the books completely (*cough* Percy Jackson *cough*). JLaw plays Katniss well, but after watching the trailer, I don't recognise some of the other characters. I don't imagine Peeta looking like that either.
(There may be spoilers from here. If you haven't read the books, and are planning to, stop reading now. In other words, SPOILER ALERT!!!)
To be honest, I never like movies as much as books (with the exception of Harry Potter :)) , but I obsessed over the Hunger Games for a loooooooong time. It is now one of my 4 favourite series' (Hunger Games, Divergent, PJO/HoO, HP). Hunger Games fans? Who else cried when Prim died? She grew up waaaay too fast. I cried when they told her cat :(
Anyway, I would like it to be...
1. Close to the book in the plot line.
2. Smooth and no too long, like some movies I know (*cough* the hobbit *cough*)
3. Good enough so that you can watch the movie then read the book without being lost. (Not that I approve of this behaviour.)
So, yeah. Tonight, or tomorrow, or sometime, I will watch the movie, and criticise everything that didn't happen in the books, blah blah blah.
Bye!
