Muscled, toned 20 something supposedly playing 15 year olds just doesn't work.

The first one was enjoyable, but she really should have stopped there. There simply wasn't enough material for a trilogy.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-54336021242813469382011-08-09T23:09:10.379-07:002011-08-09T23:09:10.379-07:00@Elfy: As the book is pretty much a toned down rem...@Elfy: As the book is pretty much a toned down remake of Battle Royal I fear the movie will be also.<br />Still even with all the similarities I enjoyed reading the book.

I hope it just doesn't come across as a toned down American remake of Battle Royale, which was a good film in it's own right that covered similar territory. It also predated The Hunger Games by quite a few years.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-20206440285432159342011-08-09T18:54:56.076-07:002011-08-09T18:54:56.076-07:00I've heard other people say the same thing. Ho...I've heard other people say the same thing. Honestly I don't remember if I felt the same way when I read it-- obviously it wasn't a big factor for me. I doubt it'll matter too much in a movie since they'll probably tweak it quite a bit anyway. Like you say, I'll see it if everyone says it doesn't suck.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-36877816388463822832011-08-09T18:47:57.630-07:002011-08-09T18:47:57.630-07:00Huh.

Personally I thought there were some inconsistencies with the world building for the Hunger Games, which bothered me a lot, even if it was a quick read. But I admit I am curious to see how they bring it to screen and if the movie isn't panned, I'll probably see it.Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018358111540493236noreply@blogger.com
