The Hunger Games

[CelticPredator]

This is NOT a film for a 12 year old, with or without an adult, IMO.

With Teddy and CP as to views on the film mostly

Well, I wouldn't say it's not. Depends on the kid, really. I'm not playing morality police here, but it just struck me as odd that there were families, with kids from ages 5-10, and then the pre-teens, ect.

As for the Battle Royal thing....yeah, the story is unoriginal, and really doesn't do anything new with it. It was also part Running Man thanks to the great Stanley Tucci ....but the story didn't sell me. The characters did. Great characters are better then a story for me. If they work, and they have a great arc, or they're likable, it's a win for me.

Saw it last night. I't a solid 3 out a 5, possibly 3 and a half. I liked it ,but I liked John Carter more.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ I liked this more. I'm a fan of this sort of sci-fi. Gritty, dirty, and also the bright updated culture...

I feel like there's something more for me to connect too, then Goobly Boo Boo and Glornack's Ceickara.

I don't see anything wrong with liking both the Hunger Games, and Battle Royale, both of which take concepts from Lord of Flies and other stories

I saw both br and hunger games and the only thing they borrow from each other is kids killing kids

 

[ironwez20]

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.

He insulted the people who like the movie. That's not opinion at all. Saying you must be a 15 yr old to enjoy this isn't really an opinion now is it

Yeah, at least he actually saw it before not liking it.... not something most people do. And its not like his comments makes me like it any less anyway.

 

[ironwez20]

Whatever ..... Could care less if you love it hate it .

 

[CelticPredator]

So they go away....

 

[ironwez20]

You mean me go away ? Not a chance

I missed the part when someone told him he couldn't.

Yeah, that post isn't gonna change how I feel.

Opinion police was on full prowl today.

Ummmm it's just a damn movie which had very similarities. IMO hunger games had inspiration from BR. Let's not take it personally guys

just saw this flick. The girl was cute.

From the previews I think she is a little too cute. Katniss needs to be a little more "homely" but it sounds like she did a great job.
