I too was (mostly) Team Gale in the books until about the last 1/2 of the last book when I realized he would alwyas make life for Katniss harder, while Peeta would do all in his power to make life for her simple.As for the movies, I was slightly disappointed in the casting of most of the fellas. I liked that Gale looked like he had been doing hard work his whole life, even if Liam was a cardboard cutout of a character. As for Peeta, I’m glad that Josh and Jennifer had such good chemistry, and I was very impressed by the amount of heart he brought to the character, but he’s just so darn tiny. The Peeta in my head looked more like a younger version of Ryan Hurst in Remember the Titans big, solid, and sweet faced. I don’t remember feeling in the books like Katniss could beat the crap out of him the way I did while watching them on screen.Even Haymitch wasn’t exactly what I was looking for even if Woody did a far, far better job than I anticipated. While I read the book I kept picturing Hugh Laurie because he does mean drunk so well. Woody did drunk well and he did compassion for Katniss and Peeta well but he never quite got the surly meanness I though Haymitch had for so much of that first book.Man, it really sounds like I didn’t like the movie, which is totally not the case. I really loved the movie. I loved the tension, the pacing, the cinematography, the emotion they caught from every small interaction. Really, I did enjoy it. Just can’t help compare the version in my head with the version on the screen. Which only good book/movie combos make me do.
