Wow!!! I have been looking forward to this since the book came out, hoping it would be turned into a movie! They truly knew what to keep in the movie, what to adapt and what to leave in the book. Absolutely fantastic! I'm so happy and I loved every second of it. The actors did an amazing portrayal of the characters and the movie had great pacing and flow. As soon as it finished I would have happily stayed in my seat for a second viewing. You could watch this as a standalone but you do get more out of it if you have seen the other movies. You can see all the ground work and you get insight into many characters as well as the creation of the system and how it grew to be what we see in The Hunger Games.
