I watched it today, it was really good! Better than what I expected because of the mixed reviews that I have read. I can definitely say that the experience for a person who read the books and watched it if WAY more complete than those who didn't... I feel that movie goers got JIBBED on the story lol. Especially in the cave...
Lots of the 2nd film will have to explain small details that were missed in this one... but overall good movie, will watch again if a friend asks.
JEN LAW was fantastic.
=D> couldnt agree more it was great!! cant wait untill november 2013 for mockinjay.
I was able to detect some things that went by too fast on the initial viewing.
The Bloodbath is simply spectacular!
G.G.
yeah... I saw it in IMAX the first time, and a lot of the bloodbath details got lost on me. I think it was just too much to take in. lol... But when I saw it again today, I was blown away by that scene. The movie really does get even better on the re-watch.
I'm really keen to see it again, I think it's definitely one of those movies where you just have to see it again, whether you loved it or not. My brother didn't like it and I told him he needs to acknowledge the film for what it is and not just on the things it didn't show from the book but he's just like no I'm not going to change my mind. I just hate that so much, he's purely basing his opinion on the movie in comparison to the book, I know it's his opinion but AHHH it annoys me.
Because i felt that the only thing she did during the games was hiding. I expected she was going to fight some tributes. That was one of the major factors of my dissapointment.

I feel like if I say too much, I'll give something away haha... You should try the books. They're incredible and a very quick read.
I'll say this... There's plenty of action, and some really awesome new characters that join the story. The second book is my favorite, so my hopes are high for the movie
Honestly It's been the book readers that have drove me crazy, I wish I wouldn't have read the book before the movie because I knew what happened beforehand. The film trumps the book in emotion, similar to how LOTR films trump the books. I keep hearing people getting mad because they 'didn't include this' or 'they needed to expound on this' lol just shut da fuck up and enjoy the film.
I will say it conveyed raw emotion better than I could have ever expected. The untrained narrative was like christmas come early to me.
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."
This movie gives me hope we'll more district uprisings in Carching Fire that lead up to the you know what (don't wanna spoil) instead of just the victory tour. Plus I hope then in Mockinjay we get some full blown out battles rather than what we got.
I loved how they used the camera and sound to make you feel like you are actually there or are Katniss. For example, when the mines explode everything gets very muffled and you start to hear a ringing (like you would in your ear after being exposed to a loud noise). Another moment of this is the hallucinations after the tracker jacker attack.

Yes, I loved this. I think it deserves an Oscar for sound mixing. Like, whenever the hovercraft comes at the end. You hear and FEEL its vibrations. You really have to see it in theaters to get this effect.
Didn't you guys all love how Katniss and Foxface bump into each other on the Cornucopia scene and look at each other like "I don't want to kill anyone"
One of the only things that made me sad was how Cinna wasn't developed at all. He was just like "Oh, you'll win, oh, I made you some cool clothes". He's not nearly as effective as in the book. I hope they make him better in Catching Fire or the tube scene will make no sense.
Hipocrits, when the casting was announced they we're whining because almost all the characters we're white people, and now they complain because there's black people? Racist assholes.
I don't know how i pictured Rue. I didn't picture her as blonde though. I can't remember the description from the book. I really liked the girl they had play her though. She was a good choice.
this is just me , but i really liked how the careers were so carefree and sadistic, it was creepy...i can see how on first glance it seems stupid but i found it kind of scary.

Yeah, after re-watching it, the way Katniss is running away scared makes it pretty creepy.

This time, with a quiet and respectful audience.
The difference was abysmal.
I took the car and went to the cinema by myself.
I wanted to focus completely on the film.
This viewing made me love the film even more.
I recommend a re-watch to everyone, honestly.
G.G.

"Oh look, there she is! Look at how jolly we are! Hahahhaha!"
