The Hunger Games - James Newton Howard

It's crazy how many people went to see The Hunger Games. I never read the book, but I was one of the crazy people that saw the movie opening weekend. Now I'm reading the book to see what the movie left out. Obviously the book would have more detail that they left out of the movie. Not to give any of the plot away, but I wish they would have created more of an emotional attachment to some of the characters. The score was originally suppose to be composed by Danny Elfman, but it ended up being composed by James Newton Howard. I think he was a better fit to score the movie. There is also a soundtrack called The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond with music inspired by the movie.
