Catching Fire Aftermath!

Okay guys. It has been forever since i posted something but here it goes! I want to talk about how accurate the new Catching Fire movie was! I was excitation with the new director Mr.Lawrence! He did a fabulous job keeping the story line exactly the same as the book's!
There were a few small problems which got on my nerves though. Peeta and Katniss for one. They did not seem to be fully, completely, and utterly in love during the Quarter Quell like they were in the book. The beach scene was less then par and for any of my avid Hunger Games trilogy readers out there you know that this scene is supposed to be filled with emotion.
Also during the victory tour Peeta and Katniss were not seen sleeping together every night on the train like they were in the book which is also a major lovey point in the novel. Even how they started being friends again was different. In the Lionsgate movie they talk in the back compartment of the train but in the book Peeta stops the train to run away from her and get space and then Haymitch tells Katniss to fix it. That is way more romantic and cute but Lawrence did not add that into his movie either. So overall Peeta and Katniss's relationship could use a lot more work in MockingJay part 1 if Lawrence is planning on having any of that work.
The only other thing that was left out that made me sad was Haymitch's Hunger Games video. That was one of my favorite parts of the book because you get insight into a character and you see how similar him and Katniss are. It is a bonding moment for her with him and it would have been amazing to see. I will post a fan-made version of his hunger games very soon.
Overall though this movie was FANTASTIC! It was a ton more accurate then the first movie. It did not feel like a 2 and 1/2 hour movie! I saw the midnight premiere and when i looked at my watch as I was standing up and saw 2:45 i was aghast because it did not feel like i was there for that long.
The graphics were fantastic and the setting and scenes were amazing.
If you have not seen this movie find a way to see it!!! It was an amazing way to spend my money and I would have sat back down and watched it again if they had another showing that night!
