I hadn't heard of The Hunger Games until the movie came out last year. I really enjoyed it. Sure, there are things that I probably would have done differently if I had written it. Still, it was very enjoyable to me. Certainly a much more interesting and creative premise then another bank robbery/zombie/slasher/chick flick movie that Hollywood seems to make over and over.

After seeing the first movie, I decided to check out the book. I just recently finished up reading the series. It was pretty good. Not great, but good. I enjoyed them.

For fans of the books, here is something I found on Youtube that you might think is pretty cool.

I just watched on Netflix.

So without giving too much away, do the next couple stories take place outside The Hunger Games?

Oh ok, disregard my last post. This is cool.

Glad they put The Hunger Games on Netflix, you usually don't get such big time movies on Netflix so soon after they are released.

I'll definitely catch the next one in theaters.

That trailer doesn't really answer your question, I don't think.

It seemed like it to me, unless in that trailer they totally misrepresented what is happening in the next movie. Didn't look like we're getting the 75th Hunger Games, but the story is still following Catness or whatever her name is.

Sorta like how The Matrix continued outside of The Matrix for Neo past the first movie.

Some of it takes place outside the games yes, but there are more games. The trailer doesnt even show much of the next games, if any footage at all?

Mild spoiler, I think.

Spoiler, but not too much (it's said in the trailer):

New trailer. This actually looks alot better than the first film. I like that they ditched the shaky cam BS.

I watched the first one last night.


5.5/10

I just got done watching the first one. Not to be contrarian but... 8.5/10. Trying to decide whether to read the next book or wait for the movie.

I love the concept, I just think they could have executed a little better.

I finally caved in and went with my Wife (kicking and screaming) to see Hunger games 2 last night. It got a lot of good reviews but I just don't get it. I thought it was boring, stupid, and predictable. Yesterday was not a good day.

It was fine.


Certainly wasn't Thor: The Dark World though.

Nope it was better.

Disagree entirely.



I'm afraid I'm biased though.

I haven't seen it yet but My daughter said it was great. I'll probably take her again this weekend to the IMAX version.

I would agree. I thought Catching Fire was good, but the first one was better. (I thought the same thing about the books.) I enjoyed Thor:The Dark World more--

I watched the new HG on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm gonna wait until I can watch Thor on Netflix or Epix because I thought that the first one sucked thunder cock and I'm not hopeful that this one will be any better.
