I've read the book, pretty interesting. The movie won't be shown in my country "due to its violent scenes" (damn it)

The 2nd book is very boring though.

I thought it was pretty great!
I think if I read the book first I would have been a little disappointed, though. There's so much more to everything that happens that just can't be shown in a movie, when the book it's made from is in first person; so much of what The Hunger Games is about was portrayed through Katniss' thoughts.

I can't wait for the next movie. I wonder if they will make Mockingjay, as well. I can't imagine them not, but the book is so, so violent; it's going to be hard to hide the gore through shaky camerawork in that one.

The only disappointment, was no Madge I mean seriously she was the ONE who gave the mockingjay pin!

The writing was what let down the books... whereas the film didn't have to worry about that, it excelled on it's own. To anyone complaining about left out bits: It was incredibly long! Not in a bad way, they kept it lively, but I'm pretty glad it wasn't any longer! Plus, I'm stoked they didn't rely on a cliché, first-person voiceover. That would have sucked.

The book was absolutely amazing!!! All the details were perfect and then watching the movie was a whole different topic. I felt like I read that book for nothing. I could've skimmed the book and understand what happened in the movie. The details that made it the Hunger Games werent in there.
Wheres the part when she bathes peeta?
Two kisses the whole movie?
The funny story about the goat and when peeta first met her?
That urks me. But it was a good movie. Sorry for the rant lol

I thought they did a great job~ its so difficult to make a movie from a book, and for what they were able to do I really appreciate them trying to keep it to the book as much as possible (although I did miss seeing the prep team and effie's role wasn't as awesome as it was in the movie )

i dont see the movie yet , but the books are amaizing !

Havent seen the movie, thought he book was decent, but not terribly great.
