The Hunger Games

DH is at work tonight so I decided tonight's the night I'm going to watch The Hunger Games. I'm gonna put the kiddies to bed early and order Chinese for myself and watch it ; I've got a real exciting night planned, haha!
Am I the only one who hasn't seen it?

You might as well just change this title to "Swimiz" so she can revel in your moment with you.

I hated the movie.

No! It's not really a bad movie, I just couldn't get passed all they left out from the book. I just loved the books a lot, so the movie didn't do it justice for me.

Here I am! The movie was amazing IMO. Not as good as the books, of course. But I think given the challenges of adapting a book like that into a movie, they did a really amazing job! Let us know what you think!

I'm the opposite. I read the books before I saw the movie, but I enjoyed the movie MUCH more than the books. Much, much more. Really, I thought the story was great (well, it was great in the first 2 books at least... didn't like the 3rd). But, I didn't like the author's writing or character development. I found Katniss a MUCH more likeable character in the movies, and i don't typically like a book unless I like the protagonist.

Ok, I'm back! I watched it, and ate my Chinese. Now my stomach hurts, haha.

I never read the books so I can't base what I just watched on them.

I liked it. It was definitely different, strange and interesting. I'd like to know what happens next but I'll wait for the movie. I don't see myself getting into the books. If I had to predict, I think Liam Hemsworth gets sent out next?

If you had to choose a Hemsworth brother, that'd be a tough choice to make! Good genes run in that family.

Yay, I am glad you liked it! Now you just have to wait until November 22, 2013 to find out what happens next ;)

That is one attractive group of people. I love the guy who plays Peeta though!

I have to wait that long?!! Well, that's just not nice.

I wasn't a huge Peeta fan. He's kind of a wimp. I'd go for Liam Hemsworth, hahaha.

I feel like she was only kissing Peeta for the sponsors?

In the books, she was mostly only kissing him for the sponsors. But, there was one authentic kiss that you really couldn't decipher in the movie.

Also, Peeta is far less of a wimp in the next 3 movies, and is not as big of a wimp in the book either.

You should read the books! And don't listen to swimiz- Peeta is still a wimpywimp in the rest of the series. He just appears to be braver on one leg.

I hope the 2nd one is better, I agree it was the best book- but I really liked the end of the 3rd too.

Hahaha, maybe after the New Years I'll read them. I'm kinda dying to find out what happens now. How many books are there, 3?

lmao! I can only judge him by the movie, and in the movie I kinda hoped I heard the cannon for him ;)

"Peeta- hot or not"

Love this! Do not love the cannon part so much, though it did make me chuckle. My mom liked Gale better too. I, however, love everything about Peeta. Swoon.
