Alex Osborn from GameZone writes: "Let's face it, filmmakers have one heck of a challenge when they take on an already well-established franchise, as fans of the series already have their own expectations of what it should look like. The beauty of a written story lies in its ability to tap into one's creative mind and conjure up images that are virtually impossible to replicate on the silver screen. That is why I was left dumbfounded after watching Gary Ross' take on The Hunger Games, a film that not only stands toe-to-toe with Suzanne Collins' original work, but surpasses it in many respects."
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it trumps the novel. There are aspects of the novel that just couldn't be portrayed properly on film because of the first-person narrative. Such as Katniss' romance with Peeta in order to save his life, and the muttations.
However, I will say that Gary Ross made the best possible adaptation of the book as is possible. I don't think it could have been done any better than it was.
Well after reading above, going to see this movie for sure. haha
