Twas good..."but the book was better" Tigr Send a noteboard - 26/03/2012 06:49:26 PM
I'm not sure what Hollywood's fascination with the shaky camera is, but there was no shortage of it in this movie.

It was as true to the book as any movie I have seen, and that was a welcome surprise. Katniss is supposed to be ugly, but I'm glad they cast Jennifer Lawrence, she is one of those rare natural beauties.

I enjoyed the second book even more than the first so I will once again spend my hard-earned money on an opening weekend ticket. Damn you escalating movie prices!

YA has become huge in the past 5-10 years, thanks to Harry Potter and others. Legolas - 25/03/2012 08:58:58 PM 623 Views

Yes, well, I do perhaps spend more time on the books board than you guys... Legolas - 26/03/2012 09:47:08 PM 562 Views
I don't consider The Hunger Games YA. rebelaessedai - 30/03/2012 05:19:51 AM 637 Views
YA is a fairly recent invention anyway. (Not that it isn't great! I think it's a great invention!) Vivien - 30/03/2012 04:01:35 PM 554 Views
It's definitely marketed as such, whatever its content. Legolas - 30/03/2012 08:59:37 PM 580 Views
I don't think you're right. rebelaessedai - 10/04/2012 04:13:32 AM 614 Views
I liked the movie, but the absolute funniest part was during the trailers: Tirenne - 25/03/2012 11:13:34 PM 801 Views
Aww we didn't get that trailer, but I've seen it before. *ending spoiler* ironclad - 26/03/2012 08:42:58 AM 558 Views

I liked it, but at times, I felt like I was a citizen of Panem, watching kids get killed on screen. Bookwyrm - 27/03/2012 08:07:48 PM 610 Views
Especially since Katniss is described as olive skinned herself. Vivien - 27/03/2012 09:25:46 PM 605 Views
I must have forgotten the part where they described Rue. Kaldric - 28/03/2012 02:23:14 PM 683 Views
I dunno, I tend to not be a very attentive reader A Deathwatch Guard - 28/03/2012 09:41:26 PM 559 Views
Well, it's one thing to not pay attention to physical descriptions Vivien - 28/03/2012 11:38:57 PM 552 Views
