well i said in the book lol, in the movie they weren't

but the poster above already said, why waste the energy when they were quite sure she wont go any where? hell if not for the tracker jacker nest she will be dead any way in the morning regardless of the wound, she was extremely lucky in that circumstances

it's part of training in any of curriculum clubs camps or forces(armies, fire fighters, etc). maybe not on trees, but the purpose is to train to have sharp minds to overcome obstacle, which i think, is shown poorly in that scene.

if careers were trained since they're child, i would imagine they would go through something similar. so, i do have an issue in here, which is, either they show that careers are what they being said being trained for the games, or they shorten the the scene.

This is why. I agree wif apocalypxe. She survived bcuz shes lucky. For a person who supposingly trained their entire life. They seem pretty sh!tty.

" trained to fight and kill, not necessarily to climb trees" Wow... they thought of killing but they forget that they gonna fight in a huge arse forest?

Its called Hunger Games, Hunger indicating possible death by starvation means u gotta learn some survival skills bro. Not Small-Roman-Gladiator-Arena.

their strategy is to hoard the supplies and kill the others, and they did kill most of the others except again, the 2 main characters

but again, lots of movies have that kind of moment where the main character got "lucky" (and no matter how strong the antagonist are, they're always being dumb when coming to deal with the protagonists)

Yeah this is why I like those movies wif smart villians like in The Dark Knight. Joker is the most brilliant villian i ever seen. He looks crazy juz to deceive your perception of him but he is a true genius manipulator.

And Bane, the main villian in Dark Knight Rises is supposed to be a smart brute. I hope Christopher Nolan dont disappoint me.

Ra's al Ghul didn't kill off Bruce when he was unconscious and his house burning down and left him there

Joker decided to tell his story of his scar just before he can kill Batman

Bane (to a beaten down Bruce): when Gotham is in ashes, you have my permission to die

there you go, not even these escape the stereotype

To their defence, they are sadistic. So they want Batman to suffer as much as possible. Well like they say... if the main character died, there isnt much of a story now.

Atleast their ploy gave Batman a time in hell to get out off.

And their plans n traps are so interesting n intriguing.

so basically its down to because you don't like this movie lol

we aren't likely to come to any kind of agreement on this, so lets just rest it before it turn into anything nasty shall we?

jus watched Hunger Games...and boy.i was was left starving for a better ending.
the overall movie was so-so for me but brilliant cast i must say.
But boy...the ending was a joke. Katniss and Peta should ended up eating the berries together and die.

then it'd create an uprising at all of the Districts to overthrow Kapitol...led by Primrose...but then again, its based on a bestselling book, so who am i to comment..

I really don't understand people who say "I don't like this movie because it's not the movie I created in my head."

lol'ed

Based on the book, the arena can be at any type of place; a desert, forest, swamp, mountain, etc. Not necessarily a forest.

Also in the book, it's not that the careers can't climb trees, it's because they are too heavy and the branches will start to break under their weight.
Of course, Clove and Glimmer don't look that heavy in the movie.

Don't blame you for thinking that way though. The one gripe I have about this movie is that sometimes it won't make sense for the non book readers.

It made perfect sense to me. What I find funny is all these people who say "if it were me, I would be so much smarter/badasser than the characters in this movie."

Battle Royale rip-off?

hahaha well everyone is entitled to their own side of the movie..then again, the movie ripped the boxoffice.
so i guess there are more lovers than haters..

Not dissing the book, but for a non book reader like me, I think the storyline is quite linear. Don't you think?

Katniss got chosen, she trained, she survived, she won the game.

Maybe if I actually read the book I can relate to whats happening in the movie.

Not sure why everyone giving a high rating, even tops the box office sales.

Might be not my cup of tea. I'll watch the 2nd movie (when is it again?) just to see whats the hype.

It's true. I quite disagree with the score on RT (which is rare for me). Indeed if you read the book you would have watched a 'different' movie but for those who did not read the book it is like you said, linear from start to finish.

Anyways, the whole thing about the Careers, I agree... they are super lame if they indeed had trained their entire lives for the games.

it's like twilight (the crappiest movie in history) but it's got high ratings from it's (mad) fans, sometimes ppl are just

I'm saying that the idea is similar to Battle Royale.
