twilight was such garbage it goes to show that angsty teens are really the majority going to movies now'a days. Surprisingly hunger games was not awful. I'm not a fan of all the close up shaky camera angles but they followed the book pretty close.

Whats really amazing is that they got away with calling it a PG13 movie.

I watched it premier night, I thought it was okay. I read the book first, it followed it almost exactly. Left out a lot of details, but that always happens. Definitely one of the best books I read. I was also pretty surprised it got away as pg13. Lots of killings, and neck snapping.

I am thinking of watching it cause it looks interesting.

Here the movie minimum age is 11 years old, however there has been quite the debate about that.

Gonna watch it hopefully tomorrow <3

I'm a big fan of the books so I have been looking forward to this :3

It exceeded predictions. 155 first weekend, 3rd best behind The Dark Knight, and the deathly hallows part 2

Yea the the Movie was pretty good, I thought it would have been better with the R rating but I know they did for demographic purposes. But the things they changed were not too bad and I could understand why they did those changes.

I've heard good things about the movie but I never really planned on going (mostly because I barely have time to watch TV let alone find a couple hours to go the theater). I'll probably wait for the DVD or On Demand release. Never read the book either.
