Hunger Games

knave:
I'm going to go read these now. My daughter has all three...

Harrelson:

Spoiler:
He was fine in the role, but they minimized his part. Part of the back story I wish they'd expanded on.

Rando:
I haven't seen the movie, but I have seen (and read the Manga version) of Battle Royale, which this movie/story is getting a lot of flack for sounding really similar to.  I loved Battle Royale and am hesitant to see this, and the note above about some shakey camera work will probably prevent my wife from being able to watch it.

Anyone else who has seen (and liked) Battle Royale AND this care to comment?

Green Giant:
Saw the movie Saturday night.  I thought it was great.

Never read the books.  I had a semblance of an idea of the story after a friend at work told me about it.  I don't really care how the stories went or how the books were written because the movie was very well put together.

I don't see how they could have forced anything else into the movie, but it sounds like the book may have gone into to much detail or something.  I have to disagree that there was shaky blair witch style camera work.  I don't remember it ever being like that.  There were quick action scenes, but the vast majority of the movie is much smoother flowing.

I liked Woody as well.  His character was a little rough around the edges but you can start to like him as it progresses along.  Walking out of the movie, my wife and I had no complaints at all.  Only questions about what the next two movies will be about.

Depends on how susceptible you are to problems with motion. I guarantee you the camera work was shaky and if you're susceptible it's going to bother you a lot. If you're not I doubt it bothers you at all, it wasn't shaky as Blair Witch. I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of Blair Witch without being almost violently ill (sucks a lot btw), but I was able to grit my teeth and watch Hunger Games. However, if you are at all susceptible, it'll bother you and if you're more than a little bit then you'll have a problem.

If you've ever been riding in the back of a car and gotten motion sick, that's the feeling.
