Saw it. I thought it was good, although not quite as good as the first. If you've read the book it'll be interesting to see it play out on the screen.

I've only seen the first one but IMO there's no similarity to Harry Potter at all aside from being adapted from books aimed at a roughly similar target market. It's a dystopian future kind of story and the Harry Potter series is fantasy with wizards, witches and magic. The main message seems to be one of resisting totalitarianism.

hunger games = biggest rip off, of battle royal(both the book and the movie) watch battle royal much better.

It's a bullshit ripoff of Battle Royal that caters to teenage girls and has a story that holds together poorly... shit even in the trailer for the new one I noticed the "bad guys" holding P90's. I don't usually give a shit about guns as I don't have much interest in them but what the fuck for an alternate universe you give the lame baddies modern weapons? in a world with super-advance medical futuristic shit and whatnot?

Saw it today, was interesting and had some cool creepy moments, my main concerns were as follows...
- Too many orcs dying got old quick
- Not enough dialogue from frodo
- Long length of 160 minutes without any resolution
And somebody shouldda tripped that elf ho.
Otherwise it was fun.

Yup, it was alright. The third book had much more action so I'm hoping the third movie is the same. Second book and movie just a bunch of drama pretty much

yeah it was a little too much drama for me, but it was still good
once they get into the dome or whatever it gets really good...the drama was alright i just think dragged out a bit
third one shud be pretty legit
woody harrelson does a good job too, his character is funny

The plot is unoriginal and gay, even if you leave Battle Royal out of the argument. The whole dystopian future/authoritarian government thing has been done to death. The lady who wrote the books is a mediocre writer at best. People just have terrible taste in books and movies these days.

Thank you. It's just an overused theme re-skinned to appeal to a young female audience. Aren't they selling toys in kids meals now?

Exactly. It falls into the same category as Harry Potter and Twilight, and all those other series; Trash Fiction. I'm honestly tempted to make one myself, I'd be set for life. All you need is a very basic conflict, a love triangle and BAM you are good to go.
I'm just sick of motherfuckers telling me how amazing it is. It's like go read a real book...............I'm sorry I'm drunk and angry, I had to get that out.

Books are a played out rip off, and the movies look like shit spun to sell merchandise to children.

I saw it last week and i thought it was really good. Stayed completely true to the book except for a few things, but considering the amount of time they had to work with, it was amazing. Great acting from everyone, great new characters, and a great way to expand the Hunger Games universe beyond the arena.

I downloaded it a few days ago.
First one was kinda entertaining. The book was about equal.
I'm going to watch it expecting it to be mediocre. Maybe I'll be impressed.
