This


while I was watching it, although the cinema was packed, it was like it was empty, the audience were captivated. So once the movie starts and it's dark you might not mind about the other people so much.

Yeah, me too, and usually when I see a film after I read the book I'm really unhappy with the casting but they did such a good job with this, Interview with the Vampire was my most disappointing book to film I think

Scott we went to a 3pm showing and there was only about 30 people in the whole cinema,

I agree with what shaun said about rue she was def underused I wanted to see her bond with catniss develop and sorta explain her reaction

Spoiler:

to her death, which the girl to the left of us cried at bless her

GypsyGoth 23-03-2012 11:37 PM

I think they didn't want everyone sobbing.

And what got me was when

Spoiler:

Katniss done that salute and all of those watching in D11 replied, but I didn't cry for long.

I think they showed Rue as much as they could though, besides in the arena but in the training aswell, you could see the little bond beginning between them. The film was over two hours long and tbf to them they fit an awful lot of the book in and I think they did their best with Rue and it still ended up being a powerful and poignant moment in the film

Did you think it was accurate to what you imagined in the book?

No, Peeta makes her more human. I'll have Gale for myself :evilgrin:

Spoiler:

I was actually routing for Gale all the way through till right at the end, I just think Peeta is better for her and Gale needs to find a female Peeta also!

Review!!

Glenn. 24-03-2012 01:07 AM

From the top of my head.

Spoiler:

I was hooked from the minute it started. I loved District 12. It looked old but in a futuristic sort of way. It wasn't what I imagined in the book. It was better.

Effie. OMFG :lovedup:

Exactly how I imagined her. Elizabeth Banks did an amazing job :worship:

Haymitch was played to the letter to. Woody was incredible.

I thought The Reaping was done to perfection and Elizabeth stole the entire scene. She stole every scene she was in.

Jennifer was outstanding throughout the entire film.
I don't think anybody could of played her better than Jennifer did. Josh as Peeta was amazing and Peeta really come across like he did in the book.

Rues death:sad:
This was my favorite part if the entire movie. The sadness and sorrow Jennifer played was top class as was the score. The music was amazing. The salute was so touching I had to pull myself together for fear of blubbing like a baby. I think Rue could if had a better part in the film. I didn't really connect with her like in the book.

The uprising in D11 was a good touch considering the direction of the story.

Now for the niggles I had about the film.

I didn't like the Tribute Parade. I thought the fire looked crappy compared to what it should of looked like. Plus I thought the effects were a little rushed and out of proportion speed wise. It just didn't look right to me.

I didn't like the careers chasing after Katniss. As far as I remember it didn't happen that way. Maybe it did but I can't remember.

Lack of Rue. I know they had a lot to fit in to the film but another 5mins of Rue would of been amazing.

Lack of Peeta losing his leg:nono:

Niggles aside, I loved it so ****in much. It was adapted well and everything was pretty much perfect. Great cast, great everything.



I'm seeing it again tomorrow afternoon with my cousin:D

Niamh. 24-03-2012 01:11 AM

I agree with everything you said Glenn except :

Spoiler:

I'm pretty sure the careers chasing Katniss happened just like that in the book, remember Peeta befriending them to pretend he'd help them find Katniss and Katniss thinking he'd turned on her?

Glenn. 24-03-2012 01:15 AM

I can't actually remember. For some reason it didn't sit well with me.

Amazing film though. Can't wait to see it again:D
