Thread for the movie only. What did you feel about it? I feel they left out a lot of the important stuff. Also, please use spoilers.

No Red Avox girl, No giving Peeta the sleep syrup when she gets the bag, no Katniss dehydration, no Madge giving the pin, No Peeta's Father giving the cookies, no golden cornucopia, nothing withh the prep them really, she never recieved the District 11 bread, no showing Peeta's amputated leg at the end.....

I could go on, but. The movie was still really good, I just liked the book more. I would rather have a longer movie with more stuff than missing some of the stuff.
 
If I'm going to go see this, I need to know if they made any horrible changes to the book.

You should spoiler it, I've read the book though.

Well I was doing it for movie and in case some people haven't read it. There aren't really any changes (just things left out) , but you do get a view of what the Gamemakers do to make everything happen and stuff which is pretty cool.
 
Just wondering, but how violent is the movie? I read the book and it sounds pretty violent
 
I went to see it yesterday. I thought it was a pretty good movie. The only problem I could really see was that it might be a little bit hard to follow for those who haven't read the book. BUT I am a strict believer in "book first, movie later," so I'm just gonna say it's your fault if you see the movie first.

I was disappointed that they changed from where Katniss got the pin, but the other omissions I can live with. I mean, the movie was already 2 hours and 20 minutes...
 
I saw the movie last night; it was better than the book, actually, and the book was already quite good.

And the mediocre second and third books would actually really benefit from an adaption to film, I think they'd work better as movies than novels.

That's better than when they choose to totally disregard the book (Eragon, Percy Jackson) and make a movie more appealing to common viewers.

That's a great point - I abhorred Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but the movie was actually rather good.
 
I thought Deathly Hallows was worse as a movie, and definitley half-blood prince. They cut out almost all the memories and only focused on Lav-Lav and Won-Won and Hermione's love triangle. Well, most of it was focused on them

Deathly Hallows was the best movie, IMO. They didn't leave out nearly as much as they did in the other movies, plus they added that really powerful scene in the tent with Harry and Hermione.

I don't

How do you

I mean

What


Didn't The Hunger Games set some sort of record for a non-sequel movie?
