Movies

Yep. If you hadn't read the book you were sunk to some degree. I started the first book, ended up scanning it so I was okay there.

I didn't make it through every bit of the first book, as it just did not hit me enough to keep going like I would with books that really grab me. I had the second book ready to go, but by the time I'd finished the first I was done. I think I picked the second book up one time, read a few pages, and set it aside, and that was it. 

But: having read enough of the first one i was okay; otherwise, this movie could be a head scratcher to a certain extent, as they did a lousy job with certain details. 

So what did everybody think of HGAME? C. {nm} goodvibe61 Mar 24, 18:24

B. It delivered what it promised, but not much more. {nm} RogerMore Mar 24, 18:26

B+ or B. Lawrence was great and the story was compelling, but it was kind of flimsy, and I didn't really care for the ending. {nm} Jelly Mar 24, 18:28

mediocre C - {nm} mickpix Mar 24, 18:36

As a reader of the books, B+. Shaky cam was a bit much, but it overall was a satisfying adaptation. {nm} stevie1der328 Mar 24, 19:05

A - totally into it. Makes the Twilight series look a boring joke. {nm} TheMackenzie Mar 24, 20:17

And what the hell have they been feeding ALUDW since Witch Mountain!!! {nm} TheMackenzie Mar 24, 20:19

I thought the same thing. Definitely took the whole "career tribute" thing to heart. lol {nm} BorderLand Mar 24, 20:37

A+ I felt they made the necessary changes to transition to film and only had a few things for me to quibble about {nm} LanceStorm22 Mar 24, 20:22

Same for me. {nm} ryancoke2 Mar 24, 20:51

A+ Solid film and really liked the scenes in The Capitol {nm} BorderLand Mar 24, 20:37

I think those were my least favorite. I kept thinking, is it this obvious, do you think im an idiot? plot just didn't work for me i guess. {nm} goodvibe61 Mar 24, 21:07

B/B+ {nm} dsbman Mar 24, 20:39

B+ great movie (spoiler) billy Mar 24, 23:16

B. Disturbed that my movie theater crowd was openly cheering the deaths. Very Capitol-like....{nm} rexlax Mar 25, 00:59

I've heard this about a few theaters, my question to you is... LanceStorm22 Mar 25, 07:04

A- Faithful to the book and overall very well done. A couple of minor issue but nothing major. Rupan Mar 25, 03:31
