So final opinions, is it worth the price of the movie ticket?

Yes. What do you pay for a ticket, anyway? Only cost me $6 which is dirt cheap compared to home.

Went on a Saturday night, so the ticket was 10.50 after tax. On a weekday/night, it's only $5.

10.50 is norm here unless you go on tuesdays which is then 6

day one purchase

Now your kids can pretend to kill people too! ;D

I'm excited for a Finnick Odair Ken-doll who's wearing a golden net around his loins.

Wow, your tickets are cheap. They are 13 bucks in the $an Franci$co area.

I thought it good. They kept it close to the books and I can imagine the author would be proud of them. The acting was terrific by all involved.

She completely stuck out.

I have to disagree. I thought they were perfectly cast, as was the rest of the characters. I thought thy guy who played Peeta was perfect for the role. He portrayed his humbleness brilliantly, and I thought he looked how Peeta should look. As for Katniss, same applies. I would have a gripe if she had make-up on in the district but she was all natural. Still very attractive but still.

You're in the minority there. Those guys were more of a Disney Channel quality. Peeta had his moments but Gail was pretty awful and I'm not looking forward to his expanded role in the next films.

I just finished the book over the weekend and liked it quite a bit. My chick friends were all like "Team Peeta go" but I'm like meh. Don't get me wrong, I love Peeta. Just not the idea of their relationship.

Maybe I'll go see the movie soon.

Also, mark your spoilers, especially for items in future books. :)

FOA, did you only read the first one?

For now. I'm trying to finish The Mists of Avalon.

Finally saw it today. I'm probably going to read the novels sooner or later. Anyway, I liked it. Wish they got more gutsy with the violence. Could have used less shaky camera and X-TREME closeups too.

Read books when they became such a phenomenon. The movie was a great adaptation.

Would have jeopardized the PG rating and took out a large chunk of their target audience.
