And then I see the movie and the actress has an ass and boobs and meat on her bones. No she wasn't fat at all, that's not what I'm saying. She just wasn't broke ass poor skinny. Katniss describes being able to see her ribs at the end of the games in the book, stuff like that helps. It's powerful. I never got that same feeling in the movie at all though. That really bugged me about the movie compared to the book.
I don't think comparing the book to the movie is ever fair. The book will forever be much better than the movie. Stand alone it was an okay movie, I actually sat through it with ease. It just bothered me how sloppy the script of in terms of describing the back story. I think the movie just assumed everyone read the book and skipped very important details and that's just not cool.
