The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

I was not a fan of the Hunger Games film, I just didn’t think it was that great of an adaptation of the book. I feel the same about Catching Fire. I am also not a big fan of most of the casting, as they got rid of a lot of the diversity that makes up the books. I think the only thing the first movie did better than the books was increasing Seneca Crane’s role and casting Wes Bentley.
I can’t put my finger on exactly why I don’t like these movies. I love Jennifer Lawrence, but I am completely lukewarm about everything else. I think they made Peeta less likeable in the films. He comes across as sort of a wet noodle, although he was better in Catching Fire. Visually the movies are great, but they just don’t have the heart of the books in my opinion.
