My wife and I finally saw the second one. This one is next. Glad to hear that it was good. BTW, my son has recently taken up archery so there is a side interest going on with the movie for us, as well.
I didn't really like the third book and was disappointed they'd spun it into 2 films - but went to see it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!
wow that's awesome that he is taking lessons. what a cool hobby And i was also kinda confused on the third book that's why i didn't like it
Yes, thanks for your comment. I have never had any exposure to archery, myself, so it has been really interesting to see and hear the coaches and watch how the various techniques are learned. For example, there is some controversy amongst archers about where Katniss holds the arrow/string before releasing a shot in the movie. She holds it under her chin as many Olympian archers do, but most archers hold it at mouth level. Anyway, it has made the movie even more interesting for me. Looking forward to seeing this latest one over the holidays.
wow that's really cool, i'm going to focus on that every time now! He sounds like he is being trained well!
Although part one doesn't have much "action" in it, I still find it interesting. Mocking Jay is better than Catching Fire, IMO.
It was so great! I thought it was entertaining throughout. Some people I went with said it was too slow for them, but I loved it!
Although some of my friends recommended against it I went to see the movie nonetheless. It was not that exciting but still good plot. I think it would be more thrilling in part 2. Will definitely go see it.
We rented it last weekend and looked forward to watching it, but things came up and we did not. Still looking forward to seeing it soon!
I saw the movie and I think it's not as good as the first two. The fact that they have become greedy and made it into two separate movies has made it very slow and uneventful. The first movie is still the best, let's see what the last one will bring.
I didn't read any of the books but I really have enjoyed the movies so far. My girlfriend has read the books and said that catching fire was a let down in regards to the book. So maybe I'm fortunate I didn't read it haha.
Finally saw the movie yesterday and my opinion is that this one was the best of the three. I enjoyed it the most and am looking forward to Part 2!
I have read all of the books before I saw all of the movies, which I also own. I love The Hunger Games Trilogy. I have been a fan since the books first came out. I have also gotten my fiancee interested in them. We have seen all the movies together. In all honesty, my online "name" is KatnissEverdeen. LOL! Of course I obviously enjoyed the books way better than the movies. The movies are good and well portrayed but since I have read the books I do notice slight differences.... So far out of the 3 movies, I would say that my favorite has to be the first. It just sets everything in motion. I cant wait for the final installation of this series. I will be sad that it is over but I need to see how they end it. Congrats for your sons interest in Archery. I wish him luck in it. Personally, I have tried and I just cant get the hang of it.
I'm such a huge fan of the Mockingjay, as some of my friends are. In fact, I have tried memorizing Katniss' lines! Of course, I forgot those lines now but yeah, you get the picture.
