    The Hunger Games

    Who has watched this teen movie? As for me, I had very little interest in this when I heard about this movie adapted from the original book. Poverty in Earth meets archery and other sports?

    I didn't like the hook message of "The World Will be Watching" for the movie poster, because I think that message applies to other epic movies like The Dark Knight Rises and possibly Avatar 2 and 3.

    Now I wonder if the book title was named after Neil Manke's They Hunger mod game for Half-Life.

    I have seen it and I found it good enough to go see, and I can say this. It is a way better movie than Twilight is, a lot more action and a better story overall. The only bad part is some of the scenes the camera is to shaky to see what is going on. Especially when the games actually start.

    I've been eyeing on this, now I'll really watch it for sure.

    Well, I think it is a very enjoyable, well-done book series, and it was an enjoyable, well-done movie. Of course, I might just have these opinions because I'm a young adult, but even so, the professional critics also gave it a good rating; that is a rare thing for action movies.

    Even though I saw the movie I don't really plan on reading any of the books. I would rather just enjoy the movie for how it is without knowing the plot already. I am looking forward to next year when they will release the second movie.

    Hmm, now I wanna read the book after watching it. As that would have more detailed stuff imo.

    You should read the book. The movie was awesome, but the book was better. It has a lot more details(Haymitch falls off stage during tribute drawing).

    Isn't that usually the case?

    The books were good. Have not seen the movie, and probably won't.
