boring at the beginning but I didn't think the movie was that boring tbh. I cried and I laughed. and I think they ended it at a pretty good spot. good enough cliffhanger BUT I CANT WAIT FOR PART 2 HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT A YEAR

There are a lot of teary-eyed scenes and my friends practically cried the whole movie. I've not finished the book yet, but it was a refreshing experience to see the movie before reading the book, I didn't expect anything like that. I didn't expect to see Peeta like that, Josh was perfect, he was a real slave for the Capitol, the change was REAL as soon as you see him at the end, he was so incredibly thin,it was like he was,in fact,oppressed. The movie was just EPIC, "MOVIE OF THE YEAR" was the only thing in my brain after watching it.
What else can I say?!! The movie just swallow you whole, you cannot not love it,the acting, the directing, the montage, the music, THE HANGING TREE SONG, the attacks, the reality of everything just makes you want to scream and do something!!


Superb movie!



The changes they made were for the best, and even though they left out some scenes I would've wanted to see, the added POV's were AMAZING. The fact that Effie was added is just perfect, everyone loves effie and she gives the whole movie a bit of humor. Also the acting level on this film is OFF-THE-CHARTS for both Jennifer and Josh. I didn't exactly like the way Coin is played out so far, they made her look too "nice" at the beginning of the book she is harsh and kinda rude towards Katniss, but I think this "nice" approach will make the change of heart of the reveal of her true intentions further into the book way more shocking to the viewer. I just can't wait for pt2. And they ended on the perfect part of the book. WOW just WOW.

It's really a great movie, action packed and so so fast paced ! The added scenes were judicious, it adds to understand the story when you can't "read" Katniss's thoughts.
Josh Hutcherson made an awesome job with Peeta !

Josh did such a great job I think and I can't wait to see more of him as hijacked peeta in part two. Jennifer was amazing as per usual!
I know a lot if people are complaining because it had more talking and less action than the others but just wait until part 2!








I loved the movie although the ending was a little weird... It was so emotional I was crying through the entire film. JLaw's acting was perfection and i loved cressida. I think this movie really followed the book( Re-reading the book right now).

Same here! It was so perfect! "Are you, are you, coming to the tree?"


Is it just me that I find Cressida so cool?


was it your favourite book as well?




I always felt for Gale and I think Liam has done and is doing an awesome job. And I have to admit, I was very distracted seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman again. RIP.
I loved The Hanging Tree. Gorgeous.
It's been quite a long time since I revisited the books and I'm inspired to reread them all over again. I loved it so much!!! I think all involved have done such an awesome job bringing Collins' world to life!

Same here. It made feel like I could do anything I wanted to. It was a powerful speech that brought out the hero in all of us.

it made me cry in a public setting when my friend didnt cry and she is and emotional person and i'm not
I don't know if I'm the only person who thinks this, but Glale's presence in the movie just felt...like he wasn't supposed to be there. Like he was kind of just...there.
