Came back watching The Hunger Games...

There is so much to say... but then, its always best to say it based on the rating and that is enough. If I go any deeper, surely its "Clash of the Titans" all over again...

Overall:- 3.0 out of 5.

i didn't read the books.

the idea of this movie is good but i think it is being executed poorly. the movie contains much important scenes/points left unexplained and few flash back shot are done in a way/style that makes the flashback scene seems unnecessary to the movie.

there are few shots about surviving in this death game doesn't make sense as well. one of the example:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


and also, i think the ending aren't ended nice enough as it doesn't give a strong hint about a trilogy or what actually happened with the triangle relationship.

usually domestic box-office is more important first than overseas takings. if domestic box-office fails, then they will look at foreign box-office earnings to cover up. foreign box-office only comes in later. Variety reports is over-glorifying the earnings, unlike most sites which focus more importantly on domestic profits.

i tried reading the first book. it's not fun at all. the way the story unfolds in Catniss's POV was just not my cup of tea.

i liked the movie Catniss better but that's because J-Law is so good. plus she's hawt too. the way she shoot those arrows, i've never wanted to be a bow so badly before in my life until those close-up scenes HNNGHHHHH

the shaky cam and mutated dogs were a bit too much though.. sweat.gif

Well, I guess not all movie can please everyone. When I read harry potter and see the movie, i was disappointed on how it was show to us. Some point which was important was cut and some was totally unimportant was put in it. So, I guess you cant be a crowd pleaser.

Smartly filmed with a budget of $78 million, being set in the future and all, it could have been higher. The popularity of the books definitely propelled the film and in turn the books are now still selling really well.

I believe the film execution indeed could have been better. It is still a good watch. The book is still better than the film in my opinion. The film just didn't have the room to accommodate all the elements even when the run time is 2 hours and 30 minutes.

I guess watching Battle Royale first kinda stole the thunder away from The Hunger Games.

Think it is overhyped and over rated.

Not exactly, though set in the future the story behind the games is different.

Battle Royale: Social problems rise among youth,resulted in the government allow the Battle Royale thing to happen

Hunger Games: 13 Districts tried to rebel, they failed then Panem have the games annually to remind the districts of their rebellion would cause two kids from each of their area to die each year. For Panem, its entertainment, for the 12 districts its not.
