ENMaker Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I've read the books, but I haven't seen the movie yet. The trailers are epic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hated the books because of how they were written. It was a turn-off of the plot, so I didn't like it. The plot is fabulous. Movie was so different from the book and that is where I draw the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDorago Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I loved the books. I'll be seeing the movie on Tuesday and I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I love the movie, it was exactly like the books except for how Katniss got her mockingjay pin and they cut out the story about Prim's goat, but that's okay. Not sure what Daemon's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't exactly like it, the interpretation is what was off for me, which is why I state what i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 The first thing I think when I saw the trailers was "Don't tell me that's the chick for Series of Unfortunate Events" I'm not really sure, but that was my first thought. I personally hated the books, since I didn't really understand what was going on The trailers, however, look so f[i]u[/i]cking badass that I really wanna watch it one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Cutting out things is different than changing things, it is a movie after all. If I judged it by that, every movie would suck in comparison because it wasn't 3-5 hours to fit everything from the book in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm sure changing it from the first person view to a third person view is call "cutting out things". Leaving things out is ok only if they leaves out events that won't affect the core plot of the story. The american adaptation of the girl with the dragon tattoo also leaves out some unnecessary detail from the book but it didn't affect the story and made it feel rush or too fast paced.

Some things just can't be done. And movies will occasionally feel rushed because they can only fit so much in a movie. Not all directors can make four hour movies like Perter Jackson did with the Lord of the Rings. You have time restraints, budgets, etc. Personally, I think they did an EXCELLENT job of staying as true to the book as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENMaker Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 A film in first-person would be absolutely s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragovian Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Got the books for Christmas, thought that they were good, then this film came out and now everyone's reading them! Then they say that the books suck and throw them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Revan of the Sith Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I personally found the movie better than the book which is the first time I have ever thought like that and is most probably the last. Jennifer Lawrence is amazing, 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I don't think they could've gotten a better Katniss. I love how she acts in interviews, too. "Some people say you're really down to earth." "No, I'm just dumb." Haymitch was great, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agaming Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 My fav bit must be when she shoots the apple where all the posh guys were and the she says 'Thank you for you consideration' or somein like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer the Wise Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Absolutely loved the movie and I thought the changes they made were well thought out too. Me and a friend of mine both think the movie adaptation was better than the book itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidfire Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I loved the movie... Sadly never read the book... The cast was awesome... And was i the only person who cried during the movie??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDorago Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I saw the movie yesterday. I didn't think it surpassed the book, but then again movie adaptations never do, do they? However, I certainly feel that the movie did the series justice, and was honestly amazed by the accuracy of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm still a bit questioning on the camoflauge thing with Peeta. I even was when I read the books. "Oh, I decorated cakes!" I'm like, "I don't think it works like that..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twig Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Overall, they did a good job on making a movie out of the book. I didn't expect them to have everything. I do wish they'd have more focus on the avox and dog mutants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
