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.

QUOTE(chrommed @ Apr 7 2012, 02:29 PM) what did he said to Katniss? Sorry I couldn't remember. You will be surprise in Catching Fire. Lol. Somehow more than one of your imagination up there come true. Wakaka.Anyway, through out while watching the movie I kept imagining some plot twist going to happen, e.g Peeta gonna somehow betray everyone and be the winner, or Katniss manage to escape the hunting zones and somehow able to get back to the city, or even Haymitch did something in the backstage trying to sabotage the game and somehow release every survivor left from that game, and destroy the game once and for all.. but..yeah maybe the next movie would be better..I'm looking forward to it but might not watch it on the silver screen tho.. QUOTE(defaultname365) My pick - Alfonso Cuaron ("Children of Men", "Prisoner of Azkaban"). I love his realist film making style, and if you've got fair bit of violence then all the more effective. I didn't really like Gary Ross' direction. I love Alfonso Cuaron who directed Prisoner of Azkaban. It was the best HP movie in my opinion. |

Haha, Michael Bay direct? Everything will explode. Lol. Then he better direct Mockingjay better. Wakaka. They need exploding there. Practically everything explode. XD
And to those who watch the film and say it sucks and confusing, just read the book or ebook cause it is so much more in it. And don't start comparing it to Battle Royale. This two series has two different thing. The only thing same is the teenager battle each other but in the end, what was the reason for the games? It is a different kind of thing. That's my opinion. I'm just grateful to have some nice movies around and some nice books to read. After Harry Potter ends, I can't seems to find anything interesting. Don't even get me started on Twilight... |

QUOTE(hfi @ Apr 12 2012, 11:25 AM) After hearing mixed reviews, I held off from watchign this for a long time until last night. And i have to say i was quite pleasantly surprised by it. I kept thinking about BR at the start but after awhile i was totally absorbed by the story. I really like the character Katniss, and i didn't realize the actress was also the lead in winter bone, she was amazing in it - and the male lead was great as a love conflict. But i just wish my active imagination wasn't so intruding during the show. I kept thinking Peter was playing Katniss to gain her trust before doing something dodgy. As it turns out, the story is as predictable as it gets but that's not necessarily a bad thing if done properly. Im glad that you gave Hunger Games a chance to proof itself. But the movie did not explain much. A lot of people were confused on the romance part but Katniss did not know that Peeta was really in love with her until the end of the book but then they didnt show it in the movie where Katniss told him that it was all an act to keep them alive and how he was so heartbroken about it. There were few things i didn;t really like - the shakecam imo was over-done to a point where i felt a little uncomfortable. But there were times it was used to great effect like during violence scenes. The film felt a bit draggy at times but i suppose its meant to be faithful to the book ? Rip off or not, i thought it held its own. It had good characters and the performances were also quite good. If Ross didn't sign up for the sequel i say give the reign to Matt Reeves. I think this kind of film is tailor made for someone of his caliber. The part where he saved her life by giving her the bread also didnt tell much. How he rather be hit by a rolling pin from his mom so that he can give the breads to Katniss. It was the hardest point in Katniss's life after her beloved father died and her mother went into a depression that she had to scrape around the garbage bin to find food for them. Then the next day when she was no longer starving, she saw him at the school and when she turned around, she saw the dandelion on the grass which reminded her that there is always the option to go into the woods like she used to with her father to hunt for more food. That's why Katniss will always remember him because it was the thing that had kept her and her family alive. But I guess it was too much to put into a movie with only 2 and a half an hour show. I dun feel the draggy-ness. Maybe its due to the book. In the book, when katniss is in the arena, she had a hard time finding water and how bad her condition was until she found the spring but in the movie, XD she found water instantly. Lol. They didnt even explain much about her designer Cinna as well. He was a very good friend to her. Volunteering to be district 12 designer. Katniss was lamenting what type of costume she will wear remembering how when one year, the tributes were practically naked and covered in coal dust. I personally don't like the shaking cam as well. I know they wanted to make it into Katniss' pov since the book is from her pov but it caused us to lose a lot of action scene. But i guess overall, the director did a good job on the storytelling. Most of the important plot was told. |

QUOTE(hfi @ Apr 15 2012, 05:47 PM) Thanks for clarifying some of my concerns. I might look up the book and give it a whirl. It looks like the book is way superior than hte film - which often is the case. Haha, well its just like Harry Potter. Movie cant explain that much but when you read the book, its so much more awesome. |

LOL. in the book, it was heavily described about how katniss dun like the smell of blood president snow keep emitting and it sickens her when he tried to cover it with white roses. that is why she felt disgusted when she saw white roses and smell it.
