⭒The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins⭒
tbosas is my favourite of the movies
Yeah, that and Catching Fire are my favs both for books and movies.
Catching Fire was truer to its respective book, but... TBOSAS might be my very fav too... idk, Catching Fire is also amazing.
I've seen the movies for BOSAS and its one of my favorite movies, the hunger games also a favorite movie, and catching fire also a favorite, but I need to see the mockingjay movies. How are those compared to the book?
They were pretty good. They def changed more than Catching Fire, and I think The Hunger Games, but not as much as TBOSAS. Of course, since it's split in two, Mockingjay Part 1 doesn't have as much action.
Oh alright. Also, does anyone on here have parents that don't like/scared of the hunger games or is that just me?

He always called them dumb books. 😄
Also, I haven't seen the Mockingjay movies either. But I'm DYEING to. Same with TBOSBAS, though.
I showed tbosas to my mom when i got it for my birthday and she was terrified and wanted to stop watching. My dad watched it for the second time and he doesnt really like it i think, but he can watch it

Oh what does she think?
(I haven't seen BOSAS yet but really want too!!)
I LOVEEEEE the Hunger Games!!! My favorite character is definitely Cinna but I love Peeta too!!! CANT WAIT FOR SUNRISE ON THE REAPING 😁😁😁!!! I read all the books and watched all the movies but I have an unpopular opinion….Books like Harry Potter, divergent, and the hunger games have movie series to go along with the books. The final book in all of the series was split into a two parts for the movie. (Except the final divergent movie never came out). however, the goblet of fire was the longest Harry Potter book, catching fire was low-key the best hunger games book (and they were all a similar length), and insurgent was probably the best divergent book.
Does anybody feel like directors pick the wrong books to turn into a two-part movie? I’ve always felt like that in these cases. It doesn’t seem right that the last book gets a two part just because its a finale. I know they want to full story in there for the finale, but I feel like the case can be made that most of them should have been two part. I completely understand how hard it is to get a book into a two hour movie, but to summarize, I feel like catching fire fire should’ve been too part and not Mockingjay. (Even though I love the Mockingjay movies.)
Yeah it comes down to money I think, in the end. I enjoy the two part movie of Mockingjay because they can fit more in and cut less out, so ideally I'd love if all book to movie adaptations were 2 part!! As for wrong books or not, I think it comes down to personal taste. For me its just fun to see an imaginary world come to life on screen at all. There have been so many bad adaptations that I segregate them in my mind as two different arts all together or else I'm sitting there the whole time listing what they got wrong 😂
Same the second divergent movie had me cringing 🤣🤣🤣
Girl the Divergent movies started off strong and just got worse and worse 😭
Some movies add things to try to tell the story differently for aspects that don't translate well onto screen too, so I've tried to be gracuous and consider that too.
What was up with that box thing in insurgent??? We r never gonna know what was in that directors head 🤣🤣🤣 that whole scene was 🤮🤮🤮
Finally watched ballad. At first, I was getting play vibes, and I just felt like the whole thing was over hyped. But the fact that I loved the story so much, and it DID get better as it went on, helped me to actually really like it. I've kinda been thinking about it, ever since I finished watching it, SOOO....
I’m sorry but I really disliked the movie and the book 😕
Glad you enjoyed it though!
I've seen a lot of people say they like the TBOSAS movie better than the book, but I disagree. I mean, I do love the movie, but the book's still better.

Books usually are always better than the movie

The M wrote: "Books usually are always better than the movie"I agree.
I feel like Snow turned evil to suddenly. I feel like the build up to him becoming evil wasn’t enough. It just felt all out of the blue to me 🤷🏼♀️
Gonna say LOTR movies were better than the books.Just took them a super long time to show up, cause so much of the LOTR material was just terrible prior to that.
The M wrote: "I feel like Snow turned evil to suddenly. I feel like the build up to him becoming evil wasn’t enough. It just felt all out of the blue to me 🤷🏼♀️"I mean, I can see where you're coming from with that. But I feel like when I reread it, I saw that it wasn't quite as sudden as I had thought. Still sudden, of course, but his actions t the end were done in the heat of the moment, and he was still only like 19 at the oldest, so I'm sure he had more development after that.
The M wrote: "I feel like Snow turned evil to suddenly. I feel like the build up to him becoming evil wasn’t enough. It just felt all out of the blue to me 🤷🏼♀️"I thought the whole book was the buildup. And Dr. Goll was just the push he needed, too.
There was some build up but I don’t think there was enough…🤷🏼♀️

Yeah, it was all buildup. It's so perfect. THE PHILOSAPHY.
I liked the first three books a lot though! In my opinion that’s all that matters…🤷🏼♀️🤣

IKR. SO GOOD!!!

It does…but if it was written better…🤷🏼♀️
Somebody explain to me how Lucy Grey had time to lay a snake trap thingy, but not to grab a gun and end Snow right then in there?
Ooo good point!
A wrote: "Somebody explain to me how Lucy Grey had time to lay a snake trap thingy, but not to grab a gun and end Snow right then in there?"SHE DIDN'T WANT TO KILL HIM!!!
So she sicks a random snake on him? Why not just shoot him in the leg?
Uh…sure about that? They both tried to kill each other
Yeah I always hated snow in the og three books. He was literally the worst character ever with the manipulation. But like i still didn’t understand how he turned evil. I came up with an explanation tho… I think he is a serial killer. Like one of those ppl who doesn’t feel empathy and obvi he was greedy but it rlly didnt have enough buildup its a big transition from a bad guy to the most psychotic dictator
Bam!
A wrote: "Somebody explain to me how Lucy Grey had time to lay a snake trap thingy, but not to grab a gun and end Snow right then in there?"Here's what I think: She wasn't setting a trap at all. (not to mention the snake wasn't poisonous, so even if she did, she wasn't trying to kill him).
I think she realized what his finding those guns meant, and that he had to choose between her and the chance to return. She decided that if she wasn't enough, there was no point. And maybe she was also nervous, because she had realized that maybe she couldn't trust him as much as she had thought after he lied to her about Sejanus.
She was giving him a choice: Choose her, or leave now, and go to officer's school or whatever.
But he got super paranoid...
The M wrote: "Uh…sure about that? They both tried to kill each other"Ok. Maybe. I can never tell what Lucy Gray was trying to do, there.
And lucy grey had some issues too she probably had a little ptsd. I don’t think she wanted to kill him…but…
They both went out of the blue psycho at the end…

This all makes sence except, you think there just HAPPENED to be a snake by her scarf?
Nice. :)
I went to see TBOSAS in theaters. It was really good imo.
