LOL Late comment from me. Yes, the movie was amazing. I feel bad the tribute parade was not emphasized that much (I don't think I've seen all the tribute costumes). And the muttations you're saying. The book was written from Katniss' point of view so she can't tell "OMFG Peeta, those creatures look like the other dead tributes :O" and it's a little hard to imagine so maybe they just stuck with the scary monsters.
I'm glad you enjoyed the movie as much as I do :) Can't wait for Catching Fire.
I've seen it yesterday and I just loved it! I thought the fire on them would look more spectacular but, well, it wasn't that bad.
There couldn't have been all the book in the movie, or else, it would have been too long. I mean, almost half of the book is the preparation for The Hunger Games! I like what they add instead, what's happening behind and stuff... I liked Seneca Crane so seeing how they got rid of him was quite sad... :'(
So, yeah, I liked it! I hope they will do the sequel :)
Thanks for the advice, I was planning on reviewing this and wanted to see if it's really worth seeing it :) I'm not that into YA books, but all the positive reviews for this movie definitely got me curious!
I saw it!
I agree, it was pretty good. I think it lacked some character development and they disappointed me with those dog things. But overall it wasn't a failure as I had worried.
I was surprised it wasn't even half as violent as I expected, though.

Saw it and enjoyed it. Haven't read the books though, so I can't compare. ^^;;
