In 1 minutes and 11 seconds we get to see the emotional power of Jennifer Lawrence which Kristen Stewart cannot produce even to save her life with the combined running time of 4 Twilight movies. (What there's 5 u say?) f*** Me

Watched the movie this afternoon. IMO, the movie was very good. Loved it. wub.gif It stayed true to the book. There are a few faults here and there but I'm okay with it. Nothing's perfect. nod.gif

I'm not disappointed with the movie. But then again, I didn't have crippling expectations for it either. I have to admit that I am easily satisfied when it comes to movies.

i know there are those who read books & compare the movie. 99.99% movies are never able to envision the same as books. words (books) are powerful & everyone has their own interpretation because the mind is as such.

movies are visuals way to interpret a story to a movie goer. in that aspect, well.. the hunger games is an attempt. sci fi future of the human race of the future will be difficult to tackle.

this movie has an interesting theme, unfortunately i...

Poorer version of Bella Swan? Wait, what? Are you kidding me?

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

I never read the book, but I really enjoyed this movie.

OOOOOH. Wow, why didn't I think of that? rclxms.gif

EDIT : Thinking back, actually, it wouldn't make sense. rclxub.gif Catching Fire starts about half a year after the ending of The Hunger Games. But we'll see. Now I just have to wait for Catching Fire lol.

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.

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.
