Hunger games

Ryan is not masculine enough, not that he is not masculine..I m think of Chris Hensworth ..if Efron was taller he would be my #1 pick for the role.

did you really just say you think Zac Efron is more masculine than Ryan Reynolds? :P

i think it would be pretty cool if they went with lesser known/new actors

I think it'd be weird to have two Hemsworths in the same film... Haha.

In any case, HOT HOT HOT as Chris is, I think he's too rugged and not pretty enough to be Finnick...

It's a tough casting job.
 
^ I was thinking Ian Somerhalder actually. Very good representation of how I imagined him in the books. Dark hair, blue eyes, good features.

In the book he's described with bronze-colored hair, and sea green eyes I think.
 
I'd never heard of The Hunger Games until I went to see the movie. It was alright, I found it really slow for the first hour but enjoyed the actual Games themselves. For all the time they spent trying to explain the whole reason for the Games, I still find myself none the wiser. It kinda felt like there were plot holes because of this, but I guess I'd probably have a different opinion if I read the books.

I don't really plan to, the movie hit too much in the teen category for me personally, which has made the books less appealing.
 
I heard this movie is amoral and gruesome and all about teens killing each other?
 
I think the movie was successful in representing things that were important WHILE not having a voiceover just stating previous events. On that same note - Katniss is very in her head during the entire ordeal during the book, these are the moments that the movie had difficulties with. If you read the book you understand that she is confused about if Peeta is helping her or not and her playing up the love thing as a means to survive and not real. In the movie its somewhat vague and so you might come to believe its more about their love when really it's about surviving.

Teens killing each other is gruesome. But it certainly is not amoral. There is a clear point of view that what is happening is wrong - BUT because it's a dystopian society, that really is the whole point. They have no control over what they must endure.

the thing i think set The Hunger Games apart from typical teen novels was that it didn't really have a proper love story in it. i think the book and the film both handled the 'romance' very differently. i don't really want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet so i'll be careful, but i feel like the film pushed the love story in a more straightforward way to appeal to that audience.

in the book, Katniss has a lot more distrust for Peeta and a lot of the time is spent setting them up as rivals. later on, their relationship is played quite differently, which the film only hints at - eg. Haymitch sending the note that said 'you call that a kiss?' and Katniss' line at the end when she says she wants to forget about it all.

it still follows a lot of the teen audience cliches, but i quite liked the difference there.

Thanks for the insight :)

I think my best mate enjoyed the movie and she's wanting to read the books. We usually like the same things so if she says the books are worthwhile, I'll probably give them a shot.
 
Going to see HG Friday night....The Critics love it, the Bloggers continue to Bow down to it and the Majority of Jubers give it 2 thumbs up...

I never read the books for Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter and I LOVE both flicks...We'll see if HG lives up to the Hype....
 
^ yes, that's where the money can be made...from the youth crowd.
 
The film is absolutely terrible. And I say this as someone who enjoyed the books and DOES NOT require a film adaptation to be slavishly faithful to its source material. It's the ugliest shot film I've seen this year with jumpy camera cuts that renders the action completely incoherent at many points (if I hadn't read the book I wouldn't have known that Cato even reappeared at the end before the hounds got him), its paced badly with none of the significant relationships properly developed, and Hutcherson is woefully miscast as Peeta. And there's no sense of urgency or purpose to it. It's not even entertaining on a basic pop level. It's just a lumbering checkpoint bore.

The only thing worth a damn in the whole film is Jennifer Lawrence's nuanced, affecting and at times beautiful performance. And considering the terrible acting we've come to expect from Daniel Radcliffe, Kristen Stewart et al in the YA-books-cum-film echelon, that's no small feat and something to be grateful for.

Rating: * out of **** stars
 
Thought that Woody Harrelson played a great role. I wasn't expecting the movie to be so well thought out and entertaining given the long duration of the movie. They really spared us a lot of gore and blood given the violent nature of the plot. Two thumbs up for sure.
 
The movie was okay. Not great but then again I didn't expect much. The book was so introspect I couldn't see how they'd ever translate it to film.
 
The Flick was Good...It's very "Twilightish" for the Teen crowd but the killings makes it less Soap opera-ish...You're not gonna roll-your-eyes through this flick....The Theatre was PACKED with Grown-Folks...So the adult crowd is pushing the ticket-sells..

Jennifer Lawrence(X Men First Class) & Josh Hutcherson definitely carried this film...The level of intensity Jennifer brings to her performances is too good for words...Her eyes and the way she looks at you will either cut-you-deep or bring you to your knees...Very FEW Actors have that...I wanna see more from her in Dramas and I expect to see her winning an Oscar one day...

Lenny Kravitz is just Beautiful to look at...After all these years, no matter what role Woody Harrelson plays he Ooozes Sex-appeal...The Great Donald Sutherland delivered as only he can..The studio should have cast Kiefer Sutherlund to play the Prime-Time host of the Games...

I was expecting more of an edgier cliffhanger since there's talk of a Part II...Everyone left the theatre wanting to see more and that is a GREAT thing..

The Hunger Games is not a must see but you'll get your monies worth if you do see it...
 
All I can say regarding the ending for book 2 as haymitch said to Katriss at the end of book 1,is one world for both book 2 and 3.."CONSEQUENCES!" and trust me we have only begone to scratch the surface with book one...many many more surprises.. I will give a clue to my fellow science fiction fans, think Battle Star Galactica , and how many colonies left "Kobol" and how many districts are in the Hunger Games, according to book 1?(!)(!)(!)(!)(!) Flip that COIN! ..|
 
It was reported on MSNBC that Hunger Game Fans took to Twitter in an uproar about the Black characters in the movie...

One commentator asked "Did these angry people read the book(s)?"

Are the characters in the book described as Black? Is Lenny Kravitz part suppose to be white?

Yes, they are described as having dark skin. That would have been enough for me.

There's a whole discussion about it on the first page of the thread.
