Oh and the whole movie by yourself, it is the only way to go, since I usually decide 10 minutes before a movie starts to go see it :)MegShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405363169410568568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381094666549503104.post-74415317259034106472012-03-30T12:13:50.871-04:002012-03-30T12:13:50.871-04:00Wanted to like the movie MUCH more than I did.

Definitely agree that the tribute presentation at the capitol really missed the mark.

Yes, but overall they did a great job and didn't go too off the storyline. I felt the changes they made were necessary to streamline the movies. The one character I really didn't like was the president, in my head he was younger and very sterile looking. Attractive but with an edge that made him come off too attractive and evil. The old dude just didn't do it for me. I also agree, Woody was a great choice for Haymitch but they didn't really portray his alcoholism enough so you understood how affected he was by his life as a winner. Actually, come to think of it, they never really even got in to it about him being a former tribute/winner.Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381094666549503104.post-16096672529347841362012-03-30T10:04:09.835-04:002012-03-30T10:04:09.835-04:00I had to close my eyes in some scenes the filming ...I had to close my eyes in some scenes the filming bothered me so much. I agree that they did a really good job translating the book to a movie. I think I want to sit on my couch all weekend and reread the books. I was floored at the parents who brought such young kids to the theater. Not appropriate.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857281729036390422noreply@blogger.com
