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.

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.

battle royale was created from one of the best manga ever in Japan..it was purely 100% based on the idea of the creator the name i forgot..

Watched the movie yesterday and if I was to compare battle royale and Hunger Games, quite a few scenes didnt make any sense.

1. Those are not sponsors. According to the book, the sponsors are sent to the arena by using the parachute.

2. I believe Peeta doesn't have the ability to kill people because he doesn't have the expertise in this.

3. If i remember correctly, she hid behind those trees first right, before she appeared and blew up the supplies.
And those supplies are for the careers, which consists of quite a few members. There's no more members left that time except Foxface and Thresh.

4. Because their relationship (in the book but not really shown in the movie) were very close. It's understandable that she spent much time crying.
And i don't really understand the next question.

5. I thought there was nothing wrong here.

Earlier this week, some "Hunger Games" fans tweeted their discontent because the characters of Cinna, Thresh and Rue are played by black actors in the big screen adaptation. This, despite the fact that both Thresh (Dayo Okeniyi) and Rue (Amandla Stenberg) are described as having "dark skin" in Suzanne Collins' novel, while Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) is simply described as having short brown hair.

Whether fans' remarks -- such as, "Awkward moment when Rue is some black girl and not the little innocent blonde girl you picture" -- stem from poor reading comprehension or intolerance, they're indicative of a larger issue in Hollywood, said Harry M. Benshoff, an associate professor of radio, TV and film at the University of North Texas.

"For a white person reading a book, they're very rarely going to go, 'I'm just assuming this is a black character' if he or she isn't marked as such," he said. "A nonwhite person might project their own identity onto the character."
Skin color is a recurring but understated motif of the novels. Many Capitol residents, for instance, dye their skin to make a statement of affluence, taking on exotic hues like green, gold and olive.

"Put Donald Glover as Spider-Man, (and the movie) will only make $80 million rather than $100 million," Benshoff said. "If it's Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield, it's a Spider-Man movie. With Donald Glover, it's a black superhero movie."
