Really, it's a pretty good approach if you think about it. Include a love story to draw in the chicks, but not so much that it overshadows the action and killing so you still draw in the guys. No wonder it is such a hit.

Sure, the first one was mostly is she just faking or does she really. Some of my feelings about the relationship throughout the books:

Spoiler!

Woody Harrelson is great casting as well. I seen an interview where he let
it slip that he signed on for 3 more movies.

I'm thinking this movie will box office around 70 million first weekend.

My guess is around 120 million.

I took the kids to see Secret Of Arietty last night and there were some goobers already in line for the Midnight showing of this. Three middle aged moms and ten girls apparently aged ten to fifteen. On a Thursday night. And the chances of that theater being sold out at show time are about zero.

My lady friend is all over this series.. I've only seen a trailer for it but it seems awfully similar to the Japanese book turned movie "Battle Royale"

I own both the book and the movie and there were talks of a US re-make but doesn't look like that would happen now.

Either way, I'll be seeing this tonight.

Watching it tonight. Read the first two books haven't had time for the third one.

Enjoyed the movie. There were, of course, a few characters from the book left out, but they fit most everything rather nicely. Some of the back story that couldn't be described like it was in the book was done through showing certain memories. Overall, I was very pleased with how the movie followed the book.

Great movie.

Took the wife last night. Neither of us knew jack about the books other than what I have read here. The movie was very enjoyable and fun to watch. And, as previously noted. J. Lawrence is HAWT.

My daughter went to see it last night. She said it was underwhelming, and she is a huge fan of the books.

That's probably why it was underwhelming. I think Shawshank Redemption is the only movie I've seen that lived up to the original written story. The Road came close.

**petegz28** · 03-24-2012, 10:49 PM

Just got back from the movie. Very good. Not much left out from the book.

I loved the books. I didn't think the movie was disappointing at all. Sure there are parts left out but for the most part they stayed true to the books. Even parts I didn't expect.
