      So this movie is supposed to be like Battle Royale? If that's the case I'll have to check it out eventually because I've watched BR several times.

        24 people in a arena trying to kill each other, and also trying to fight the corrupt government, so it's really cool and exiting. Plus the girls like it because of the love triangle

            Sort of like a PG13 version of Battle Royale yes.

              The last fight scene was weak. Much more dramatic in the book. It was too quick in the movie.

                1. take a cool idea like vampires or fighting to the death
                2. turn it into a teen drama
                3. profit

                  It's funny how the movie is different from the book yet the original author cowrote the screenplay

                      Yeah, this was one of the closest book to movie adaptations I've ever seen. There were only a couple of minor divergences from the book. The only complain any book reader could really have is the lack of context to some of the things. Since so much of the story telling was in Katniss' mind in the book it's hard to show that on screen. I thought they did a great job with everything though. I loved the movie.

                            Not really funny.

                            Books aren't movies, and movies aren't books. Different things work in different mediums. Things that would work in a book, don't often work in a movie and vice versa. Also, movies are much more time constrained and things need to be moved along more quickly, thus things need to be altered to either make sense, or just be completely left out.

                            So it's really no surprise that it's different from the book, regardless of who helped write it.

                              this. like i said, the movie was pretty darn close. You can scrutinize every movie adapation of a book.

                                Yeah I've heard it was pretty honest, true to the essential story. Some stuff doesn't translate and some jazz you just gotta omit, alter for time as well. Aren't they making 4 movies? Assuming 2 for the last one ... would hate to think they'd make 6 movies for 3 books .... LOL
