Forums - Movies & TV - The Hunger Games Early Reviews Are In: So What Are the Critics Saying So Far?

I haven't read the book, but am now considering doing so after the movies. I found it really enjoyable and very well shot and acted, and just an all round very good film

What I don't get is why it is just SO popular, it is a very good movie, but not the best I have ever seen or anything, just a very good film, not quite enough to justify being one of the best starting movies ever at the box office

personaly I think the movie didn't do the book justice... was actually kinda dissapointed

Still I'll give the movie a 6/10

Short of making the film 180+ minutes long, I don't see what else they could have done with the movie to make it better reflect the source material.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Just watched it and quite liked it.

They did just about as good a job with the source material as they could. Jennifer Lawrence is fucking awesome. The cinematography was beautiful. There were shortcomings in the movie but given the constraints of adapting a book to film, I give it a big thumbs up.


In that case I must go see it. I usually agree with what you say. Also...I liked your old avatar.


I liked that last avatar but it felt weird going too long without a proper Rocketpig avatar so I drew this last week.
