Yea but as far as incorporating as much as humanly possible into those movies... He got the job done lol.
Im not even sure how many times ive seen them. Like at least 10-15 each lol. Ive also read all the books at least 2-3 times. I love them!

I've only just finished the first book and I went to the movie this afternoon. I really enjoyed the book and the movie was well done. It's a good read and a good book, but it lacks the ingenious creativity and brilliant writing of series like Harry Potter and LOTR. Hunger Games is definitely more of something to read for entertainment.

I did not read any of the books, but did see the movie and thought it was really good considering the only thing I heard about it was on radio.

Haven't read books yet, ordering next month maybe. But I -did- see the movie, and though I heard there were some key differences in movie vs. book that might mess up the movies later on, I still thought the movie was INCREDIBLE! Absolutely amazing. One critic summed it up well:
"It exceeds the excitement of Twilight by a considerable amount, and adequately fills the void left behind by Harry Potter."
Though I don't like Twilight, it does patch up the void from HP ;) Awesome series from what I can tell! :gj:

Battle Royale.

That is all.

I read all three, loved them! And I personally felt the movie was great. :P

Then again i thought that the twilight books were O.K... but that the movie was the WORST thing id ever seen. And ALOT of people said it was great. So what do I know lol :rolleyes:

Ok I finally saw the movie, and I think they did a pretty good job with it. Obviously there were some differences from the book and they left some things out. But all in all I think they could have done a lot worse, as some movies butcher books. This one IMO did the book justice.

I was not impressed with the movie. My wife and I both found it hard to connect with the main characters, and I found myself getting annoyed at the stupid decisions they were making. Some of the supporting cast did a pretty good job (I liked Woody Harrelson's performance, for example), but that's not enough on its own - the main characters and plot need to be good too, and, in my opinion, at least, they weren't.

I was thinking about reading the book(s), but after seeing the story, I find myself uninterested.
