    No way that movie was PG. PG-13 probably.

    A couple of my friends scored jobs at the local theater, so I got to watch this yesterday! I loved it. I had heard nice things about the series and I've been interested in reading it. I can't tell anyone this IRL though because then they tell me everything about how the book and movie are different and I'm just like stfu lemme read it on my own time okay

    Would have jeopardized the PG rating and took out a large chunk of their target audience.
    They could have pushed it a little further and still kept the PG-13, I think.

    I finally watched this because I was bored. I have to say, I do not appreciate shaky ass camerawork.

    I saw the movie twice this weekend. I loved Woody Harrelson as Haymitch. Even with the blonde wig.

    I loved that they got the flowers right. I also loved the hallucination scene.

    Also I just finished the series about 20o minutes ago and my heart hurts.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    The scene with the gauntlet made me laugh like a school girl.

    The gauntlet?

    Are you talking about in the movie, or in Mockingjay?

    I don't think that Katniss's character was bad in Mockingjay. It made sense.

    I just thought the plot itself was week.

    You know, even though I strongly dislike the concept of having these monstrous adults forcing these poor kids to kill each other, I think it would be interesting to see it in a crossover video game with Mortal Kombat, since the combat in those game is pretty mortal, indeed. Mortal Kombat vs Hunger Games, anyone?

    Also, while the soundtrack was pretty nice, especially the Taylor Swift songs "Safe and Sound" and "Keep Your Eyes Open," I think that it should have had a much louder, darker, and edgier heavy metal soundtrack, since that kind of music would suit the film better, in my opinion, including bands such as Linkin Park and Evanescence. They should shift the soundtrack style to one similar to the soundtracks of the Transformers trilogy.
    Is that your final answer?

    disagree on both counts
    mortal kombat is so over the top it doesn't even fit
    and i don't think the story really needed someone like linkin park or evanescence anywhere near it. i'm glad they went with arcade fire and the like.

    edit: but Battle Royale VS Mortal Kombat would be pretty cool

    I agree with krissy. Linkin Park and Evanescence wouldn't have really fit at all. If you mean it in the dark, brooding sense--well, maybe. But they would've been trying too hard, I think.

    As it stands now, the soundtrack is amazing, and I think it really fits well.

    I think it's cute how Super thinks Linkin Park and Evanescence are heavy metal.
