I have to say, the trailer for the film looks quite good. It's rare nowadays for a trailer to make me want to watch, but I may give this a go. I haven't read the books, the over-hype on here has really put me off.

You should read the books first though

I may, but like I said, the over-hype on here has put me off.

Scott I swear I finished them before you. I remember Shaun telling me to delete posts on Tumblr for you cause they had spoilers :suspect:

[Niall]

I just finished Mockingjay

Those last few chapters were so despairingly sad. I thought it would never end. The whole last offensive in the Capitol was awful. That little girl in the yellow coat that got shot omfg. :sad:

And Prim. Oh sweet Jesus that was horrible.

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxgsp1RSyg1qivdhm.gif

I'm happy that Katniss pretty much got Peeta back in the end tho. That made the whole thing slightly less sad and more bearable. That was just one of the saddest things ever tho omg. :bawling:

-phones therapists-

i finished mocking too :amazed:

it ended a lot better than i thought it would, i mean happier not better if that makes sense

i was sad when prim died but it was nowhere near as upsetting as rues death :nono: neither was finnicks tbh even though i love him

the saddest bit for me was when buttercup found his way back to 12 and katniss threw the pillow at him and was screaming 'SHES DEAD' at him and he was just howing :sad:

the epilogue was lovely though and im so glad she ended up with peeta in the end :love:

See.

All have 100% of RT

[Shaun]

I'm surprised by how many great reviews it's getting... I was expecting it to be received like another Twilight movie and all the reviewers would be like OMG TEEN RUBBISH UGH.

But yeah I'm hopefully going to see it on Friday :D

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i heard somewhere that the evil dead was the only film with 100% or rt :/

[Shaun]

well you read wrong clearly :idc:

I heard about Toy Story 3 being almost 100% for a while until some arsehole was a dick for no reason and it had 99%... but I guess that's been discounted

[Shaun]

oh no... I thought TS3 was up there. ignore me.

[Smithy]

Yeah TS3 is @ 99% I checked

[Shaun]

I hope that critic gets third degree burns or something

[Tom4784]

I'm getting quite excited for it. I'll let you know my thoughts tomorrow after I've seen it.

[Tom4784]

I like how they've done the marketing, there's been very little shown of the Games so I'm really intrigued to see how they handle some of the gorier moments since I have no footage to gauge a guess from. On the bad side I feel like I'll be able to recite the first 20 minutes of the film by heart :laugh:

:amazed:

Everyone who saw it at the premiere said it was perfect in comparison to the books (that could be fan bias but w/e).

[Glenn.]

I'm really happy about its reviews. I don't think I've read a negative one at all :amazed:

[Niamh.]

Going to see it tonight after work, can't wait :amazed:

[Glenn.]

:amazed:

I can't pull that sickie:sad:

I have to go to work tonight so I'll have to wait to see it tomorrow night instead :bawling:

[Niamh.]

aww, it's only a day though :hug:

[Glenn.]

But still :sad:

[Niamh.]

I thought the film was excellent, it's as bleak as the books and every actor bar one is pretty well cast. The violence isn't handled as well as the rest of the film though and I think that affects the impact of it all a little.

The film stays very close to the book and there's only really one plot point that has been dropped (the Avox side story, they're present but there's not much explanation about who they are). Everyone does a good job with their roles but I found Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz and Donald Sutherland to be the standouts. Clove's actress is very pantomine though, at points I expected her to grow a moustache so she could twirl it.

There's a really nice touch applied often in the film which is that they rmute all the music and added sound at certain points and it just does wonders for the tension, in particular at the Reaping in the beginning.

They added some bits which I thought really added to the film, you see a lot more of Seneca Crane and President Snow for example and most of the narration and exposition is handled via commentary from Ceasar Flickerman which was a nice touch.

As for negatives the only ones I can think of are that the deaths lack the impact they do in the books and that Clove's actress is awful. It's also a bit too dark visually at points and the camera shakes far too much during action scenes. Aside from that though I really enjoyed it.

8/10.

[Jords]

Im seeing this Saturday :amazed:

Although I havnt read the books, I sort of figured for the film the violence would be restricted a lot. Disappointing they made it 12A tbh.

[Glenn.]

I can't wait to see it :amazed:

[Glenn.]

Happy Hunger Games everyone!! :amazed:

-weeps-

[Niamh.]

:amazed:

Saw it last night, it doesn't disappoint! I agree with most of the points you made Dezzy, except Cloves actress didn't bother me at all :laugh: Yeah, they didn't go too into the deaths but I was expecting that since they rated it 12A. But yeah, I really thought they did a fantastic job and was surprised how close to the book it stayed and how much they managed to get into the film. I thought Jennifer lawrence and Josh Hutcherson had a really good and believable chemistry together too.

Oh I rate it 9.4/10

Also, I liked how they added in some of the back stories through katniss hallucinations, that was clever

[Marc]

-might find a website-

very specific 9.4/10 niamh :suspect:

Not amazing tbh, they didn't have a huge part in it, plus the tracker jacks just looked like normal bees

[Glenn.]

Effie looked amazing in it, all the capitol people did :amazed:

I downloaded the first book, but couldn't get in to it at all. I'll watch the film as soon as there is a copy on the net.

Does this film cover all 3 books, or is it a twilight saga in the making?

No the film just covers the first, there's no way they'd be able to fit all 3 books in one film, the film is over 2 hours long as it is!

And it is nothing like Twilight :nono:

I didn't mean in the rubbishness stakes, I meant in the film for each book stakes.

I think I just boobed by using twilight as a comparison in thg thread.

I will say 10 hail Katnisses to repent :joker:

:laugh:

Yeah, I think I heard that they might make 4 films, the last book could be split in two which might be better so they fit most of the book in. They did well with the first film, they didn't lose much from the book and only changed a couple of small details.

The special effects were a bit disappointing, the fire outfits were pretty crappy. They were just big leather coats with fire coming out of the shoulders. The special effects on the creatures were passable but they weren't really in it for long.

The whole film was filmed in a very kind of bleak realistic style (aside from the capitol bits obviously), it's not got that Hollywood gleam to it which works really well given the subject matter but it didn't work as well with CGI.

[Niamh.]

Cgi?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

niamh how was rue's death? :sad:

[Niamh.]

niamh how was rue's death? :sad:

They did that really well actually, it was so sad and the girl who plays Rue is adorable

[Niamh.]

Oh yeah and one other thing they changed was :

Where katniss got the Pin and her friendship with the Mayors daughter, not that that was overly important anyway

[Tom4784]

Cgi?

special effects.

[Niamh.]

special effects.

Oh :laugh:

[Smithy]

why are people talking about the film in the book thread :nono:


anyway it was amazing :amazed:

scott
I was right about cloves death, she was hit twice against the cornocopia and died, she wasn't beaten to death :idc:

Rue's death was so sad :sad: even though i knew it was coming it was still heart wrnching

[Niall]

That film was utterly brilliant.

I was enthralled from start to finish. I could not take my eyes off the screen for anything. I just omg.

Elizabeth Banks as Effie was absolutely spot on. She made me laugh so much. :love: The guy who played Haymitch was equally fantastic. As was Cinna. All the supporting cast were almost exactly what I imagined from the book.

The scenes of District 12 and the Capitol were also dead spits of what I'd pictured in my head. I didn't think they looked much like what I'd visualised before when I saw them in the trailer but in the actual movie, they're spot on.

I loved the sort f shift the film underwent from almost lighthearted to extreme seriousness as soon as Katniss emerged in the arena. The omission of noise during the bloodbath only made things all the more engaging. I was looking around to see what was going on. There wasn't much gore (thank God) but the suggestiveness of the actions of the tributes was probably much worse than seeing blood go everywhere.

The tracker jackers scared the sh!te outta me (I have a phobia of wasps/bees). And the hallucination scenes were pretty damn good.

When Rue came into it fully I just started feeling so sad. When Katniss got back to her (after blowing up the Careers' food), and she was speared I almost broke down. If I was on my own I would've been in floods of tears. It was so utterly heart breaking. The singing just exacerbated it all. When they added in that scene of District 11 rioting after, it just made things even more poignant - such a brilliant idea to bring that in.

The cave scenes were also excellent. The 'feast' at the Cornucopia, was again, exactly how I pictured it.

The mutts were utterly terrifying. The little speech Cato made was real sad too. :sad:

I think the ending could've been better. They didn't show Katniss putting down Peeta. I thought that was pretty vital tbh. That was my only real discrepancy with the whole film though.

Oh and the way they weaved in the actions of the game makers was fantastic.

Easily my favourite film ever now oh God.

[Black Dagger]

I hate you all for seeing it 5/6 days before me :idc:

[Niall]

You should go and see it now. I don't care if you're alone. Go Lucas. :idc:
