So good that it out does The Hunger Games in nearly every way, something that is quite the opposite of the novel. However, the film has done something I didn't think it could do: not suck. As someone who takes the content of these books and the things that themes and stories they are trying to tell just a bit more seriously than the target age group might, I groaned and moaned throughout the novels, especially the last one. However, having read the entire trilogy, I feared that adapting the rest of the material would result in something similar to the books: terrible follow ups. Maybe it's the Battle Royale and Lord of the Flies fan in me. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of the books, but I did enjoy Hunger Games, despite it's tweenie appeal.
