The hunger games on a scale 1-5?

What would you give this movie. I'll start out by giving it a 5. I think the move was an absoulute experience.

I'm not watching it.

As a person who hadn't read the books first: 4/5

I'm not watching it.

Haven't seen it and don't plan too.

I have read the first book. I give it a 4/5. They changed and left out a lot of stuff though.

4/5

Any movie that makes teenagers kill each other in a Free For All Deathmatch as part of a public spectacle is full of win.

I don't what that is but when I hear Hunger Games I think of African Children.

Is this you by chance?

:P

Anyways, I give the movie a 4/5. Was a pretty cool watch but the shaky cam got freaking irritating...

Solid 4. It followed the book closely, which was a good thing, but since most of the book is her thoughts, its kinda a bad thing. The movie is well done, its exciting, and it really is a good visual of the book. They did a good job.

It was pretty solid. I'd give it a 4. There were some parts in it where I really think the director had a chance to take it to the next level and didn't.

If it's anything like the book, probably a two. It was fun, but not very good. I imagine the movie is more entertaining though.

Also I am reading the third book now and man is it bad.

So its pretty much just Battle Royale?

I saw it last night, it was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. I'd probably give it a 3.8/5

I don't mean to just be yelling at you. It is EVERYONE comparing the two movies when they only have one damn thing in common, that being teenagers forced to kill eachother (and I suppose main characters who don't want to get involved with the killing).

The Hunger Games doesn't use the violence for sport. The violence is really toned down, and in fact the actually games don't start until like over an hour in the movie. There is alot of lead-up and story.

Battle Royale on the other hand uses alot of the violence for amusement and goes over the top. It also has alot less backstory and is more just good fun then trying to tie along some loose message or something.

They are very different movies and personally I prefer Battle Royale because of how crazy and fun it is.

I find it funny that people refuse to watch it just because they think its a ripoff of Battle Royale.

Four. Loved it! What's with all the hate?

3.5. It has a very gritty atmosphere and good acting. However, its premise is too ridiculous for my taste (kids killing one another), and I don't like its retro-futuristic look (seems paradoxical). Regarding its retro-futuristic look, I think it's odd that they use things like old fashioned microphones and Victorian style clothing, but have things like futuristic looking aerial vehicles.

EDIT:

[spoiler] I also don't like the fact that Rue didn't play as big of a role as I expected. [/spoiler]

Maybe thats the style in the future. :P

It could be, but I don't think it mixes well.

It was an alright movie and way better than the book. I hate how the book trys to be more than an exciting adventure and some kind of moral story or allegory for where the future is heading when everything about the world makes about as much sense as Hogwarts.

pathetic shakey camera, cannot stand it in any movie. wasnt a terrible film though, 3/5.

I haven't seen the movie, but I'd give the book a 5 since I really enjoyed it a lot

4, good movie and worth watching, but they did tone down some of the more viloent aspects of the book. Also they jump the gun on a few things, there are no riots on the first book, and it has nothing to do with Ruu.

Can't complain though, good movie and was pretty accurate to the book over all. I am looking forward to the next one, just hope they don't go overboard with the romance stuff and make it like some twilight crap because that's not what the books portray.

I have not seen the movie yet but I would give the book a 3.5 or 4.

Haven't seen the movie but i'll rate the book a 2. Just my opinion though highly disappointing.

I was drawn to this as well. I was expecting a mess of a film but the director and company behind the film really did a solid job. The movie wasn't earth shattering by any means, but it was a good movie nonetheless. Some of the logic was off, but overall I felt the film was a good effort.

I can't believe I've never heard anything about this series and it's already racked up over $200 million. I literally heard about it a day before it came out.
