Just watched The Hunger Games

And the movie was seriously good! You should go watch it, but after you read the book, you won't be able to stop reading.
Not reading the book first may cause lots of stupid questions about nearly everything.

There were some changes that made some people complain but they were so minor.
People are saying how the acting sucked but it was actually really good, in the book you get an idea of what Katniss is thinking.
When you look at what she actually did, she didn't really do THAT much, you just don't know the whole idea.
The book fills the emotions of Katniss and the movie fills in the surrounding.

They show you the mind and workers of the Capitol. For all I care, the book and movie explain each other.

This movie is going in my favorite movies list.

Off topic: lol yeah, I am also excited about the Avengers.

I love you.

OT: I read the book in like 7th Grade (2 years ago) and nobody liked it. Now all of a sudden everyone loves it </3
Thought I heard the movie sucked since it didn't even follow the book.

You don't have to be 15 to like The Hunger Games. I'm 20 and loved the books. They make a statement.

OT: Haven't seen the movie yet (going tonight), but from everyone I've talked to, they loved it. Books are always better than movies because so much of a book lies within the character's head. It's hard to convey thoughts in a movie. From the looks of it though, the movie won't pale that much in comparison to the books.

The books are better but the movie isn't that bad.
