Just watched the movie.

In my opinion la, the story in the beginning which is before the arena scenes is very good. I thought it was good that they talked about it every single thing in the book (except the mockingjay pin part without Madge in it).

But then in the arena, everything happened too fast. As i expected, they really didn't focus much on other tributes like what in the book (i mean, not as much as in the book). But then my friends couldn't really catch up who is who, you know what i mean laugh.gif

I also expected the MOST important scene between Rue and Katniss to be appeared in the movie, but then it didn't. I feel kinda disappointed with that la.

Overall it's still a good adapted film. Just that if you read the book, you'd feel slightly disappointed. I will still watch the 2nd and 3rd part of the movie.

OH and btw, Elizabeth Banks as Effie and Tucci as Caeser, THEY ARE VERY VERY GOOD. I like them.
And not to mention, I think Jennifer Lawrence is perfect for Katniss this role.

Which Katniss and Rue scene are you referring to?

I have to agree that everything happened way too fast. However, the book is originally fast paced anyway.
One thing I'm concerned about is that those who didn't read the book will have trouble following the movie. Especially the romance. I asked my friend if she understood that part and she told me she didn't.
*
not sure if it's spoiler but since it didn't appear in the movie...

the part when Rue saw Katniss with the mockingjay pin and because of that, she trusted Katniss.

maybe because they changed the mockingjay pin story, that's why they didn't add that scene.

hmm.gif I see. That part wasn't really significant to me.  blush.gif
But since that was one of the parts that you were most looking forward to, you have every right to feel disappointed.

There was one scene that I was really, really, really looking forward to seeing but wasn't there. And I was almost sure that it would be in the movie too, but it wasn't.  sad.gif

Just done with the movie last night. I can say, i never read any HG novel. After I watch it's trailer 2 weeks ago, I started to borrowed my sister's book and managed to finish first novel. (will continue with 2nd n 3rd) Overall I'm satisfied with the movie, luckily i read it first so atlest i get some pictures what is all about, coz some of my friends a bit blurry keep asking me many questions...I give 8.5 out of 10!! One more thing, I noticed too many censored scenes especially the killings part, maybe it's too extreme sad.gif
*
no, it's not censored.

it just happened very fast..

Lol. Luckily I read the book. No wonder everyone said it was not nice. I guess because it just happened so fast. Even for me. Zoom and we are here, zoom and we are there. I guess to those who didnt read the book, it can be so boring and so confusing. But gosh, I guess I liked it since I see some of the scene which they really follow from the book.
*
haha not everyone laugh.gif

for me, i thought it was a GOOD adapted film. it's definitely not a bad film.

Ha ha... almost all the top rated comments on Youtube has either "overrated" or "overhyped" in it. I still believe it was a good but not great movie, and it did not really do the book justice. Most of the emotional aspect was left out. Have never seen "Battle Royale" so can't comment, but seeing some clips from it I got scared already...  sweat.gif  I am wondering what rating I would have given the movie if I hadn't read the book. I still want to read the other two books in the series. Oh, and no way is this in any way a "Twilight" - the fanfare yes, but not the film. "The Hunger Games" has genuine emotional moments and great acting performances compared to it. I'm fine with the fans being the way they are about "The Hunger Games".
*
Yeah

but the movie's over-hyped or overrared is because we as the book lovers love the book so much!! tongue.gif

Yea it's sad, now to look around shops in Malaysia, THERE MUST BE ONE!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Oh and I watched it on the first weekend it was released, found it disappointing since it skipped some key plots from the book.

Here's a list but don't read it if you don't want the movie or book to be spoiled.

http://www.mercurynews.com/movies-dvd/ci_2...sons-still-read

But still it's a good movie, just that the whole thing was a little rushed so emotions couldn't set in, I never cried at Rue's scene (I actually almost shed a tear when reading this part of the book), Katniss never screamed "THEY ARE THE TRIBUTES!" when they were climbing the Cornucopia scene while being chased by the mutts. No robotic leg for Peeta, no Madge and well, they didn't really did a lot of introducing on most characters, like the Avox, the make-up crew and Cinna's assistant, Portia.

Oh well, at least it won over Twilight and Harry Potter's earlier movies, only lost to The Dark Knight and Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
*
me too. Rue's scene wasn't as sad as i expected, but the reaping scene was actually good that i actually cried a bit haha

introducing portia and octavia (if i rmb her name correctly) wasn't important tho imo, at least they appeared in the movie laugh.gif
those who read the book will know so i think dont hv to worry about that laugh.gif
