I felt that there were a lot of points that almost expected you to read the book. Like the sponsors, the history of the game, who the hell Woody Harrelson's character was (didn't really explain the whole previous winner/mentor thing too much), etc. It was a movie made for the book's fans, and it's alright otherwise.
Yeah I'm with this guy. As somebody who never read the books, the movie makes a lot of more sense after reading a lot of the explanations in this thread. I hope they spend more time on character development, and exposition is the sequel.

I haven't read the books just yet, but the movie was really good however some of the camera work was really annoying on the eyes.
|
Just watched the movie and I thought it was a bit cheesy with the romance, but then I read a couple pages here and thanks, it helps clarify a lot. Great movie, lots of details are reflecting our society right now, dogs eat dogs world, Government is fucked up.

The only reason I would ever watch this is to see Katniss shooting down a plane with explosive arrows.
Unfortunately, that's in the third book.
|
this movie/book just seems a bit derived from battle royale. just my 2c
|
I read the book and the I dont know what people mean it was exactly like the movie they did not show alot of the main parts and when they rated katniss it was out of 10 not 12 that was not the way thresh was suppose to die in the movie missed alot of main lines just not what I expected Book was WAY better.

Actors Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi definitely hit it big when they landed the roles of Rue and Thresh, respectively, in "The Hunger Games."
But the relative unknowns playing tributes from District 11 in the dystopian saga (which scored a historic $155 million its opening weekend and rave reviews) are the subject of an offensive debate among a few, totally clueless fans of Suzanne Collins' blockbuster young adult novel, as pointed out at Jezebel.
Why? Although both Rue and Thresh are described as having "dark brown skin" in the book, some bigoted fans, oddly enough, object that both Stenberg and Okeniyi are black.
Complained one fan on Twitter: "Why does rue have to be black not gonna lie kinda ruined the movie."
Added another ignorant fan: "Why did the producer make all the good characters black?"
"Why is Rue a little black girl? Stick to the book, dude," said another.
In something of a spoiler tweet, another fan admitted he was "racist" when he learned of tragic Rue's racial identity.
Another tweeter even uttered the "N" word in decrying adorable African-American actress Amandla Stenberg's race.
"I'm still pissed that Rue is black," wrote another.
"Ewwww rue is black?? I'm not watching," another person wrote.
The Tumblr blog "Hunger Games" Tweets was first to decry the shocking, offensive trend. "The reactions are all based on feelings of disgust," the blogger wrote. "These people are MAD that the girl that they cried over while reading the book was 'some black girl' all along. So now they're angry. Wasted tears, wasted emotions. ... This is a BIG problem."
Sigh and this is happening right around the time as the Trayvon Martin tragedy, this is starting to get real depressing.
In other news, contrary to my previously held beliefs, this proves that ignorant racists are actually capable of reading albeit simple teenage literature.

You know what, I am bringing my copy to the theater and read it as the movie goes.

The sequel is already set for a November 2013 release date, even before the movie was out. They were putting all their eggs into a single basket if you ask me but I guess it paid out.

other than katniss' acting, i really did not like the movie. i left the movie thinking "poor writing."
|
I just got back from watching this movie in IMAX. Absolutly worth the 20 bucks I paid. Had to resist buying tickets for the next show.
This is easily the best movie I have seen in a few years. Its not that hard of a feat to accomplish with the crap being churned out by hollywood these last few years but this was a excellent movie IMO.
Im gonna have to read the books now.

Maybe League of legends is affecting me but nowadays, all I see on TL are assholes. It's been long confirmed that Hunger games would be a quadrology. Since the first movie made profit, there's no reason to not at least make a second.
