Rue should've gotten her bread, too.

I totally pictured Rue and Thresh being black. I'm not sure what I picture Cinna being but it didn't matter either way. Jennifer Lawrence pulled off the part of Catnis just fine but I pictured someone smaller and with a middle eastern or even latino look. |

I went through the whole movie thinking, "My gosh, that man looks exactly like Lenny Kravitz." As we were walking out, I glanced up at the credits just as Kravitz's name came up. Surprised the hell out of me.

I know nothing of the books and never heard of it. But maybe it's my age. The trailer I have seen makes no sense to me.

Finally got around to seeing this film this afternoon. It was good, but not great. Seems like it tried to do a bit too much. First half was a bit long, second half was a bit short, didn't come to any real conclusions either politically or personally for the characters. But it was well-done (although I'm not a fan of the shaky camera work). And Jennifer Lawrence is stunning. (Although probably too fat for Omaha.)

I think my favorite parts about it were Woody Harelson and Lenny Kravitzs characters. They were both basically mentors for Katniss. Hopefully they expand on those characters because they were great. Hated the shaky cam work. WTF? Maybe they were trying to disguise the violence to get a PG13? I'm still amazed that a book series and movie about kids trying to kill each other became this huge pop culture event. Heh.

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.
