    This movie looks epic in my opinion. I read the books, and it looks like it might live up to its hype.

    the movie was really good. stayed true to the book for the most part. one of the best scenes was a scene they added on. District 11 riot.

    Great acting but what really disappointed me is the shaky camera. That really brought down my enjoyment of the movie.

    Its a pretty good movie and deserves all the credit it gets. Great acting, very good set up, shaky camera but not as bad as Cloverfield's. Just hope this doesn't turn to the teenage hipster bullshit like Harry Potter turned out or worse, like Twilight!

    Ok tell meone good thing about the 3rd book. Too me it was just a rip off because over half of it is flashbacks from book 1

    I actually liked the third book better than the second.

    But it was just a recap of the first book, how could you enjoy it?
    Also wtf ending. Katniss goes crazy kills the wrong person and blames Gale for her sisters death. She then just goes to Peeta (biggest faggot ever) screws him and then they have nameless kids a few years latter, and it's like Katniss doesn't even care about the kids anyway.

    I didn't get the ending either. I don't understand how Prim was killed, or how she got to that area to begin with for that matter.

    Exactly why it was a terrible and botched book only made for the purpose of a quick buck. It was not the book the trilogy deserved (i disliked all the books but I know allot did like it).

    Other than the ending, I thought the third book was great.
