I just got back from watching this and the theater was PACKED,I loved the movie and even though they left things out and changed some I thought it was really good.Spoiler [+]chick next to me was balling when Rue died.
I do strongly agree that the shaky camera was distracting when they were fighting, especially the last fight scene. Or maybe it was because I had to sit in the 3rd row of the theater.
Overall I was impressed with the movie as a whole, I was gonna watch it in IMAX but %!%+ was sold out.

It was to create a spectacle for the capital crowd. Everyone was in love with their relationship and wanted it to continue. Another dynamic was how President Snow felt about giving the people of the districts "hope" and then snuffing that out (hence the reversal on the rule change at the end.) When Katniss and Peeta almost commit suicide at the end, it was their way of saying "+$%# you" to the capital but they had to let them live.Originally Posted by 1stWitIt
If you haven't seen the movie stop reading here!
I enjoyed the movie up until they stated changing the rules. I wasn't feeling the couples from the same district could win. I was looking forward to the dilemma.

The movie made over $155 million over the weekend. I watched it yesterday and thought it was very good (having not reading the books). I knew this movie was going to be big but didn't expect it to rake it that much dough. Also, Jennifer Lawrence only made half a million for playing this movie. She better get a least $8 million after incentives on how well the movie did or she's better off finding a new agent.
First, let's talk about the cast. Lawrence is a fine actress, having garnered an Oscar nomination on her first major outing.
But she's no A-lister. She's not the real star of the movie; the novel is. People will see The Hunger Games to watch Katniss Everdeen dodge flying knives and killer bees and forlorn looks from Gale. Ergo, producers reportedly paid Lawrence a modest $500,000 for the first entry in the Hunger Games trilogy. She also, however, gets unspecified "escalators"—bonuses if the movie hits certain box-office milestones, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That may not sound like a lot, but it's roughly how much Kristen Stewart reportedly was offered when she first started out as Twilight's Bella Swan.
Now, let's talk about how much author Suzanne Collins might get: according to reports, hundreds of thousands of dollars. If the movie makes a big profit, her pay will reportedly go into the six figures. (Yep: She might earn more than Lawrence.)
The director, Gary Ross, reportedly got a paycheck between $3 million and $4 million; it's unclear whether he'll get any additional bonuses.
Taylor Swift's pay may be the toughest to parse. Generally, it costs about $1 million to make a hit single, including writing, promotion, producers, vocal coaches, the whole nine. Don't be shocked if that's what Hunger Games producers had to pay for the rights to Swift's song, "Eyes Open." (She also has a second song on the soundtrack, a collaboration with the Civil Wars called "Safe and Sound.")
And now for those producers: If the movie makes a bundle (and it will), you can bet that they will come out in Capitol couture. Just how much? Think somewhere in mid-seven figures; A producer for the first Spider-Man film is said to have raked in—not a typo—$30 million.

The movie was good though. Besides the shakey camera and the corny love %##+, I liked it.

Good. Tell your friend to give me my money back.Originally Posted by Krazyrodzilla
Just got back from seeing this film. Never read the book. Really don't see all the hype about the movie. Movie about teenagers killing each other? Surprise it isn't more backlash from this.
Josh Hutcherson "Peeta" is actually a good friend of mines. Cool dude in person, always good seeing people you know doing well!

Just finished the 3rd book.too manymoments in there. As there series goes on you just get insanely frustrated with her thought process so maybe it's a good thing these movies aren't in her point of view.
Oh Yea... If there's one thing her character will do its irritating the hell out of you
