went to the midnight release of Hunger Games last night. Hadn't read the books, so I wasn't sure what to expect ( review )

Not sure yet if I'll see this in theatres - though I probably should, just to know what everyone's talking about. *g*

pokecharm March 24 2012, 00:03:46 UTC

that was where I was, curious what the hype was...but should I read the books or avoid them?

padabee March 24 2012, 07:50:37 UTC

I've heard that reading the book(s) before watching the movie is recommended. Then again, I also heard the first one is awesome and the other two are crap. *rofl*

really? I hadn't heard that...hmm...

They'll release it soon here,too :) But I'm not sure if I¨ll go..

pokecharm March 24 2012, 00:03:57 UTC

have you read the books?

atanone March 24 2012, 09:51:15 UTC

No I have not :) haven't even noticed here..may be it was released,but as the books are more expensive now,I rarely buy something I don't know,I prefer to buy things I know something about or actions :)
But the movie-trailer runs in our Tv daily :)

I haven't read your review yet, becuase I'm staying away from all opinions ever until I see it on Sunday, but OMG excited (and nervous)!

pokecharm March 24 2012, 00:04:18 UTC

you're a fan then? should I read the books...you know how I can go overboard sometimes...

londonesque March 24 2012, 11:58:56 UTC

I really enjoyed the books, which is why I'm nervous, the version your brain comes up with when you're reading is hard to match, you know?

londonesque March 24 2012, 11:59:50 UTC

Hit send too soon.

Anyway, yes, I recommend the books, they're a good read. :)

I haven't read the books yet either and I only had a vague idea what this was about. To me it kinda felt like it was dragging a bit at times. I think the book would probably be a whole like better.

pokecharm March 24 2012, 01:27:10 UTC

I did feel like it was forced at times, so I'm right there with you. I just worry that I'll get hooked, like I have with HP and LotR...I can't get distracted right now, you know ;)

Katniss' wodd-ness was on purpose. She doesn' allow herself to feel much, and only cares about her sister and their survival day-to-day, unlike Peeta, who is a bit less cynical.

pokecharm March 26 2012, 23:29:12 UTC

hmm, interesting...good to know.
