This.
Those shaky cameras and bleach white screens that I'm going to guess were an attempt at being artsy just killed certain parts of that movie for me. That said, the rest of it was okay, but this is one of those moments where the book was way better than the movie.

I feel the exact same. It kinda felt cheap... Do people appreciate shaky cameras? Does it really add to the action? Just made me feel bleh. But I enjoyed the movie!

I swear I didn't notice this too much, I think I was paying too much attention to how awesome/gorgeous/godlike Jennifer Lawrence is.

the book is alright.

nothing special. Imo harry potter series were just way better (JK rowlings writing skills are pretty damn good).
Its a good read if you want something that isn't too heavy(although there are a good amount of pages). Its a good HS book level nothing more.

Somewhat boring but has some entertaining stuff for the college population

Depends on what you want. I recommend "A Song of Ice and Fire", but if you like the "teen romance" being a heavy part of the story, sure, why not.

I've read all of asoiaf, but only half of the hunger games (seen the movie tho). And asoiaf is by far the better story. But on the other hand asoiaf is 5000 pages (so far) and the hunger games triology is about 1200(?), so if your short on time you may be better of with the hunger games.

Finished reading the 3 book series over the past 3 nights, gonna see the movie in an hour. I'll post my thoughts on the movie tommorrow when I get a chance, probably with comparisons to the book. The book series made my top 10 best book series, so I hold it in very high regard. As a sidenote I can't wait to start reading Under The Dome, the latest offering by stephen king, it shouldn't be nearly as heart wrenching as the hunger games series, lol.


Okay I saw it, thought meh, wutev's. Seriously I can't bother to give it more thought than that.

As I understood it (without having read the books) the arenas were artificially created and the contestants were "inserted" into them. It certainly felt this way when they were able to use the sky as a giant screen, have cameras everywhere and could create whatever they want anywhere.
Ahh Scept-- hey where did you come from?

I've read enough teen romances as it is ( recently, Cassandra Clare's The mortal instruments :O), so I guess I'm gonna try out asoiaf.

the book was engrossing but short and a little shallow def intended for a young to adolescent audience, all in all tho ive read worse books, the movie looks lame, maybe im wrong but thats what i think.

thats not even a question fire and ice, books 1-3 are amazing, and the others arent bad either, they are also a lot longer and more in depth then hunger games, at least the first one, regardless fire and ice are in a different league from hunger games. Also dostoyevsky is great, timeless classics. kudos

Its a good movie and everyone hateing is only hateing on it because its so hyped up. If this was some underground asian shit it would be so sick and mind blowing... And btw battle royale was a entirely different movie except for "fight to the death people" which is such a hard idea to come up right?

Haters gonna hate I guess.

Author never said anything about influencing from Battle Royale. All she said was she didn't knew the series when she got the idea. And i don't think it's a really "hard to find" idea either. I don't know if she is lying or not but i don't see the reason to. People can think same stuff.

I think the movie was great.
Mostly because I really like the setting, but also, because of how you slowly get introduced to the real nature of the games, which makes it pretty clear that they are neither a fair contest nor just a tradition, but also have a way more important political role. It is a really nice setup for the following movies, if they decide to also make those. (Which I hope they do.)

Maybe I am going to get the book, but I already have enough unread ones (i really should change that.)
All is fair in love and war. Starcraft is both.
