The Hunger Games

[Darth Snoopy]

Yeah, this was a quick 2.5 hours for sure.

It's one I will consider seeing again for sure. Like you said everything about it was excellent. It was like lotr for me in that it stayed rally faithful to the book with changes for the theater that worked. A great time was had for sure.

Agreed. The changes worked for the movie.

Afterwards at dinner all we talked about was the movie. I love when a movie makes people do that.

Yeah, this is one that sticks with you after leaving.

Being 14 chapters into book two I cussed out president snow everytime he was on screen knowing what's coming so far in book 2.

 

[meth head]

I am intrigued to see where this goes now I must say. I didn't get a trilogy vibe from it once it had ended.

 

[DinoLast]

I am in the UK.

Well at first I thought hang on Teddy is from the UK isn't he? but the Ohio location confused me.

Same here!

I did,

Spoiler

especially after President Snow finished watching the District 12 celebration and turned his back to the camera.

Bring on the next two movies!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, you could tell with the ending there is more coming.

saw the movie last nite and it was awsome.
katniss is a great character. the movie had me on the edge of my seat at times. me and the wife enjoyed it.

the one thing I thought it was hard to buy was the holograms able to hurt you (fire balls, dogs) but it's set in the future so.

man I would love to have a holographic arena like that.
the possibilities are endless.

8/10 for me.

cant wait for the next movie.

ohh yea and people saying this is like twilight they are on crack.

I will buy it on blu ray.

yeaa the 9:00pm show was sold out. not one seat.
we had to wait for the 10:00pm show but it was worth it.
10:00pm show was sold out too.

 

[Project_A]

That's what I'm trying to avoid, well the crowds mostly and noisy people. Can't enjoy a movie. :| LOL


But I'm really excited!!!

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

I went at 1:45 yesterday to beat the crowds and it was worth it.

movie sucked, the first half was boring as hell, the second half does pick up once the actual game started, but there is no twist and showed very little human emotion conflicts in those situations, all the characters are flat & linear. It was so watered down, almost close to a disney movie. I guess if you are a 15 yearold, might find it interesting.

If you want the real thing, watch Battle Royale.

Any of you guys seen the Japanese movie Battle Royale which Hunger Games ripped off them? Its way better and more graphic then Hunger Games.

it's not just more graphical, it showed the realism & human emotion conflicts, also all the alliances formed & broken. Hunger Games had none of that, everyone is flat, you are either good or bad, and the alliance they had was a joke - a bunch of guys going around singing & be merry, nevermind the backdrop is they all have to kill each other at the end...

 

[Darth Madden]

I guess you guys missed the other 20 posts in this thread where Battle Royal was brought up.

 

[Adolfo]

It still sounds like the Running man to me...I will see this on Sunday

Yah I only read the the end of the thread instead of flipping through all those pages.

 

[Darth Madden]

Not to sound like a jerk but just about every movie has been stolen from something in the past, it doesn't mean it can't be as entertaining or as good as the original. I think everyone can take them both as separate movies and enjoy or hate them accordingly.

 

[The Josh]

Thing is this was in the book long before the movie so it kind of had to be in there.
