Maybe it's just be, but the film was mad overhyped and overrated.

I just downloaded the book for $5 on the Kindle market, from what I've seen in this post it should be worth it. I'll check out the movie when I'm done.

The numbers are saying this will be the 3rd biggest opening of all-time,155 million, behind only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 and The Dark Knight.

The movie made over $155 million over the weekend
. I watched it yesterday and thought it was very good (having not reading the books). I knew this movie was going to be big but didn't expect it to rake it that much dough. Also, Jennifer Lawrence only made half a million for playing this movie. She better get a least $8 million after incentives on how well the movie did or she's better off finding a new agent.

It was to create a spectacle for the capital crowd. Everyone was in love with their relationship and wanted it to continue. Another dynamic was how President Snow felt about giving the people of the districts "hope" and then snuffing that out (hence the reversal on the rule change at the end.) When Katniss and Peeta almost commit suicide at the end, it was their way of saying "+$%# you" to the capital but they had to let them live.

Thresh was that dude though.
Close to everybody in the theatre cheered when he came out and slammed Clove at the feast part.

However, the filmmakers probably took the stance that they could slide any young, up and coming female in her
role and still crush. Look at Twilight, the acting is
really matter

The hype surrounding this movie is RIDICULOUS. I know THAT many people didn't read the book.
The movie was good though. Besides the shakey camera and the corny love %##+, I liked it.

Katniss
The corny love stuff wasn't real to her... She's still definitely feeling homeboy from her district. She just knew that if they wanted more help, they'd need to play to the desires of the audience, and it ended up working for them.

Okay. Now that I've seen the movie I still think it takes the main plot from Battle Royale, some elements from Deadman Wonderland, and presents it in a more grandiose manner.
But overall I thought the movie was good and I've even started reading the book just to understand a little more that was left out of the movie.

This was the first novel that I've read in around 10 years and I thought the book was actually dope. Just got back from the theater and I'm crazy dizzy from the camera angles. Movie was disappointing to me as it felt real slow and was less descriptive than the book. It's probably always like that but until now I've never seen a movie after reading the novel.

Honestly didn't know what this movie was about. Just went to see it cause my lady wanted to. As I sat through it, It started to remind me of another movie that I had seen before. Then it hit me. It was battle royale like everyone else in here has realized lol. So Im thinking that this movie was a remake of battle royale. But, finding out that there was a book before then says not so. All in all I thought the flick was pretty good. It was very predictable at times. I knew they were going to change the rules at the end because the way Gales feelings for Katniss. They set it up for a sequel for sure. The running man though? You cant compare that movie to any other movie lol. That flick is a cult classic!!

Just finished the 3rd book.
too many
moments in there. As there series goes on you just get insanely frustrated with her thought process so maybe it's a good thing these movies aren't in her point of view.

Wanted to see 21 Jumpstreet but was forced to see this as the movie took over most of the screens. Playing every freaking 30 minutes.
I give it a B-. The concept was great but it had too much wasted potential. The battles were not creative, all you had were zombie teenagers jumping out of the bushes at top speed. The heroine only won because she got lucky, they almost killed her 3x. The relationship between the 2 from District 12 was very awkward.
The highlight for me was Woody Harrelson. I'm sure the book was better with its vivid details.
