It was ok. I was surprised at the violence as well.
Spoiler!
Cool concept but made less cool by PG-13 rating and target audience. |

I thought they ****ed up most of the good parts from the books. It was a really poor adaptation.

Ready Player One
Little Brother Unwind The Shipbreaker All kick the shit out of the Hunger Games. I also prefer The Uglies series to the Hunger Games, because it at least made no pretenses about being written for chicks.

I mean, the Uglies series isn't really better, but I enjoyed it more. And the Hunger Games just felt derivative of it, even though they're very different. Probably because I read the Uglies about 4 years before the Hunger Games.

Im sure its a very fine line the filmakers want to walk. Honestly, this material truly deserves a violent and gritty take. But they have no interest in that. Its a movie designed to pull in the 10-20 year old crowd with a PG13 rating which = more $$$$$$. No way they go with hard R rated take.

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? |

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

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