The Hunger Games

[weliveandbreathewords]

I think it has something to do with the fact that,

[spoiler]for the first 2 books katniss was fighting against the control, the evil of the capitol and had become quite independent and knew the consequences her actions would bring her. Yet in the final book she lets herself becomr a pawn for the rebellion, she gets given orders, she follows them, people get hurt, its no different from the capitol, I know its resolved eventually but I don't think she would have gone a long with it in the first place[/spoiler]
Maybe they handle it better in the film

I feel like [spoiler]she was in a daze through a lot of it, because of the District 13 revelation, the thing with Peeta, and not to mention Prim. And eventually she did do the right thing.[/spoiler]

In my opinion [spoiler]Katniss responded in the correct way during Mockingbird. Distraught over the destruction of her home, the capture of Peeta and they even describe her as unstable due to the trauma received in the last arena. She's a very broken person who is being pushed and pushed in one direction and it's the only option she can see where she can hopefully put things right. Then once she's there and begins to be pushed within that role and given orders she feels she has to keep to them to make sure that Peeta, Johanna and Annie don't get killed once the rebellion is over.[/spoiler]

A very fair point, but I certainly agree more with the subsequent responses! I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Francis Lawrence comes up with.

I know I'm very late in joining in this thread, but just saw this yesterday with my teenager on a two for one ticket kindly given to me by McG.

I originally read the book at book club and enjoyed it. Saw film one and enjoyed it. Hadn't read either of the other books and went to see this film yesterday and have to say that personally I think it is at least as good as the first movie. In fact, based on seeing this film yesterday I have now downloaded the third book in the trilogy as I don't want to wait till the next movie comes out till I find out what happens. It isn't too often that a book makes me want to see the film version and vice versa but this Trilogy has done both for me.

On an aside, my daughter who is studying advanced higher art, thought that the costumes were totally amazing.

7/10

Watched first part of hunger games last night for second time. Again enjoyed it fully.really liked the end of first chapter. Can't wait to see the second part.

Loved, loved, loved Catching Fire! I expected a lot following the first film (which I really liked), but this exceeded my expectations. It was a long film but it flew by for me, didn't look at my watch once. I thought all the new characters were well cast and I look forward to the next film. My favourite film of 2013, want to watch it all again. 10/10!

Watched the second film recently, and was surprised that I preferred this one to the original film. I did criticise the first film for being a 12A as I found it too violent for young children, but the second film in comparison has improved on this heavily, as it doesn't feature that much violence. Like the first film, the 'games' only start quite late into the film and also the film ends quite abruptly, and I wanted it to carry on lol. Don't understand how they can do another 2 films, so I can imagine the next film will be a lot of talking. Overall i'd give the film a 4/5.
