I was also disappointed that district 11 didnt send bread like in the book, and the fact that it was 11 that started rioting after rue died, when it is supposed to be 8 after peeta and katniss almost ate the berries. I hope the next movie gets a little more amped-up!! :) but it was still a really good moviekatie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17473332777466540453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-13095058938637795502012-04-04T08:22:37.279-07:002012-04-04T08:22:37.279-07:00I hate when my favorite books or movies are dumbed...I hate when my favorite books or movies are dumbed down to be for 13-year-olds. I loved the Gossip Girl books, but the show should've been on HBO -- not CW. I can't watch the show because the books were so much harder (drugs, f-bombs, explicit sex, etc) it's like watching something completely different. Same with One for the Money -- I can't go see the movie because it looks SO cheesy compared to the books.<br /><br />Okay, rant over. Haha! Where in California are you?

I feel as if there was so much more that they could of showed, and the rating did limit it. Especially the ending, I feel as if, if you didn't read the book you wouldn't have gotten it. I think after Rue, things went downhill for me, as far as book to movie adaptations go. But I still rather enjoyed the movie!<br /><br />-B<br />http://www.mighty-bside.blogspot.com/Mighty Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057669938811951200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-18598017156759243742012-04-03T11:09:20.628-07:002012-04-03T11:09:20.628-07:00haha I only know Katniss but the other characters ...haha I only know Katniss but the other characters you're talking about went over my head completely :p I've still yet to see the movie :( My sister is currently reading the books so when she's done I'm going to read them!Kimberleehttp://www.ihaveadegreeinthis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-15619874176992755522012-04-03T10:44:16.436-07:002012-04-03T10:44:16.436-07:00So true about your pros and cons...esp LOVE, Love,...So true about your pros and cons...esp LOVE, Love, Love Rue and the actress who played her, she is so adorable! <br /><br />Also what was with the story of the pin?!! <br /><br />But overall I loved it and hope that the 2nd one is even better! xoxoDianahttp://allwomenstalk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-42840750947072720722012-04-03T10:08:55.043-07:002012-04-03T10:08:55.043-07:00So, I haven't read the book :( lol but I plan ...So, I haven't read the book :( lol but I plan to! I plan to AFTER I watch the movie since many people seem to be dissappointed if they read it before hand. I figure, when I love movies, I always want more afterwards and can't wait for a sequal. So, if I love the movie, the book would be a great follow up for more details of what happens!

I do like h...I have mixed feelings about the book. <br />I do like how things were depicted/visualized in the movie versus what I pictured in my head. However, there were many gaps for me. There was no story for the Avon characters and that's important! I totally agree that Seneca was way too much in the movie. They never had so much of him or the command center in the books, which i do feel took away from other items they should have brought up in the movie. Like<br />1. The major and his daughter's relationship with Katniss!<br />2. How she really got the pin <br />3. What the pin and Mockingjay really mean<br />4. Why is it called "Hunger Games" !!<br /><br />I guess it is hard to translate everything from the book into the movie since its written in first person view (of Katniss) and all of her thoughts are pretty crucial to understanding a lot. But I really think they could have done a better job at that. Also, like you have said, yes, totally wanted to attract a younger crowd. The whole Gale-Katniss-Peeta triangle was awkward and not explained. They didn't even have the Peeta washing scene. Another item , grazed over that I was actually looking forward to in the movie, was the mutants! I really wanted to see how they made it "look"/have the eyes of the tributes. That I was super excited for, and then, NO MENTION OF IT. :( lol. Lastly, just like everyone has said, I hate that the violence was toned down. Or to not show the violence, the cut away or shaky camera. That was a true cop out.<br /><br />Over all it was a good movie, if you don't come in with high hopes of everything in the books, being in the movie. If you haven't read the books, I think people will still like it but have questions which I guess helps a sequel because people will go hoping for answers. :)<br /><br />-KarinaKarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289640039412878919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-81929033117909444482012-04-02T15:47:13.060-07:002012-04-02T15:47:13.060-07:00Do you think I should see the movie or read the bo...Do you think I should see the movie or read the books first?BonBon Rose Girls Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699626979106427874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-56795448880841043182012-04-02T15:40:41.199-07:002012-04-02T15:40:41.199-07:00Hi dear, I haven't read the books or seen the ...Hi dear, I haven't read the books or seen the movie, so thanks for the review and insight...I am now interested in seeing it.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925023568867910705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558210961108124107.post-25018978036280470362012-04-02T13:52:44.784-07:002012-04-02T13:52:44.784-07:00Thanks for this review, Cheryl.
