I never felt something for him, from the moment I saw him.. And I'm reading the first book for the first time right now and I just don't feel the romance now?<br /><br />I loved the movie and the cast!

I heard some people complaining that there was not enough of the love triangle, but since Suzanne Collins helped write the screenplay, I think the movie is as close to the visual interpretation of Collins' true story as we can get. It was definitely one of the best adaptations I've ever seen!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-89317124634851930182012-03-25T05:25:05.409+02:002012-03-25T05:25:05.409+02:00I am glad you liked this!

Could have used much more Haymitch!<br /><br />Steady-cam was kind of distracting. Definitely can't take my mom to see it on the big screen, she'll have to wait for the dvd. I hope they fix this in the other movies.<br /><br />One content complaint, missing/changed the final book train scene. They are probably saving it for the opening of Catching Fire, but still.candice (thecrjreviews)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16711317038508300131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-76529112756682424822012-03-24T01:53:48.032+01:002012-03-24T01:53:48.032+01:00i am anxious to see this one...mainly to see Panem...i am anxious to see this one...mainly to see Panem. i was concerned about the casting..glad you liked it.<br />but i get motion sick. hope that is not an issue. maybe I need a barf bag..lolcaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-6270125935422430832012-03-24T00:51:31.840+01:002012-03-24T00:51:31.840+01:00Hmmmm...

I never really felt the chemistry between Peeta and Katniss to begin with so that part probably won't bother me. <br /><br />The possibility of motion-sickness, however, does worry me a tad. As I mentioned on Twitter yesterday, I felt that way a few years ago when Johnathon and I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum. I hated that movie because all of the hand-held camera work made me dizzy and woozy. I realize this is an artistic choice and helps you feel like you're part of the action, but I'm definitely not a fan.Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-47885241145468050522012-03-23T20:36:12.938+01:002012-03-23T20:36:12.938+01:00So much goodness in this movie!So much goodness in this movie!dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276023987667841735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-7578584916606280422012-03-23T20:04:09.556+01:002012-03-23T20:04:09.556+01:00I am hoping to take the family to see this over th...I am hoping to take the family to see this over the weekend, but if it doesn't work out, we will be there next weekend for sure! It sounds like it wasn't an A+ adaptation, but that it was very good nonetheless. I can't wait to see what we think.

Thankfully, it’s no Twilight- meaning that future installments will actually be something to look forward to and there won’t be any mopey romance angles. Fancy that!

I'm really excited to see this now :-) Just have to get the book back from my friend so I can give it a quick re-read before going, as is my habit with books adapted onto the big screen.
