Yeah, I think that was fairly spot on to how it happened in the book though, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Me too, I'm definitely going to see it in the cinema before it goes out

[Glenn.]

And the shaky camera in some parts were too much as well. Couldn't really see what was happening in some places.

[Niamh.]

A few people said that, I didn't notice tbh

[Niall]

I'm seeing this again today, and I've persuaded another friend to see it with me next weekend. :3 /obsessed

my friend said that, and it being all shaky during the initial cornucopia fight gave him a headache, but i guess it was shot like that to try and cut down on the amount of violence on screen

See it again today and it was just as amazing as last nights viewing. I enjoyed it more today than last night.

Saw it yesterday, cinema was fairly empty.

Good film, did the book justice. By no means was it the greatest film ever, but it did a good job of making me feel emotion and I really got into it, jumped like hell when

Spoiler:

the dogs appeared

but yeah, I'd give it 8/10.

I just noticed today that Capitol had really Roman Empire kind of feel in the movie. Did anyone else get that?

[Smithy]

GaGa walk on please

Definitely. I got that when I saw it.

And I was reading Catching Fire on the journey back and showed my friend

Spoiler:

the bit where the stylists are telling Katniss and Peeta to drink that liquid so they puke and can eat more food

and my friend told me that the Romans used to do that.

[Shaun]

pretty much everything in the book is derived from Roman influence - the cornucopia for example was a festival for feasting, there's a whole range of Catos and the word capitol is from there

Hotly anticipated movie The Hunger Games has smashed US box office records on its opening weekend.

It was the biggest ever opening of a non-sequel movie, raking in an estimated $155m (Ł100m) in three days.

The film has also been credited with the third best weekend start of all time.

The teen favourite was launched worldwide to massive fanfare and in Britain, amid a period of warm and sunny weather, it still had ticket sales of around Ł5m.

Box office receipts in Australia - with a third of Britain's population - topped Ł6m.

The result "shatters expectations", according to Hollywood.com analyst Paul Degerabedian.

Great news, I believe it though, tbh I can't remember the last time I've been to a film that was so packed, people who didn't get there early enough couldn't even get seats together.

Oh yeah I knew about that too. It's pretty insane when you think that people actually did that.

It was that really, just the style of the Capitol and it's inhabitants. I think it was all the huge walkways and big stone buildings. And the music too, there were loads of Roman sounding horns I think.

it was good, would have been better if there wasn't a guy behind me who cried for 60% of the movie though
