I saw it last week. I must say, it left me with a queasy feeling in my stomach. Don't get me wrong, the movie was great. It is action filled and has a very emotional/romantic side. The first part between the sisters brought tears to my eyes.. What I didn't like about the movie is the mindset behind it. How humans make other humans go through these "games" where they have to murder each other. I just find that repulsive.

i get the feeling you didnt read the book :p

All this hype about The Hunger Games and I'm clueless as to WTF it's about!

Alot of people are comparing it to the book back in the 90's, Battle Royale. ive never read it, but i think you might relate closer to that than The Hunger Games.

I really liked it. I have to admit, I was surprised they spent so much time on the pre-game stuff and kind of rushed through the games themselves. Not that I'm disappointed in that, it was truer to the book - but I thought for a movie adaptation they might have played up the action parts more.

I didn't but I though Lenny was great and the girl who played Rue was pretty good.

It does say in the book that Rue is dark skinned - basically it says she's black - as all the people from her district, but I didn't catch on to that...

Not that I automatically assume people are blond and blue eyed if there's no description, but I just didn't catch it.
