who has seen the hunger games? (possible spoilers)
my husband and i went on a little date friday night, which was really nice. i took a little nap when i got home from work so i could stay awake during the 9:10 movie!
anyway, i liked the movie, but the book was better. i think i liked the book better because of all the details that are clearly impossible to include to in the movie (all of them, at least). particularly, i was surprised that the cave part with peeta & katnis was so downplayed. i felt that was a big part of their relationship building but it was so minimized in the movie.
on the other hand, my husband didn't read the book but enjoyed the movie. so i think that speaks for itself, every audience being able to enjoy the movie and making it more watchable and understandable by everyone. he had to ask me about a hundred million questions during the movie (so typical) and i had to just start ignoring him at one point!
what did you think?

My Profile
I liked it. I was annoyed with how they left out all of the apothacary stuff during the games. I think that was a huge part of the books. Books are always better in terms of internal dialogue and such so I never except that to carry over into the movie as well.
I jumped like crazy when that dogs came!
I read the books first so of course I liked them more, but I did like the movie a lot. I tend to forget the details in books so by the time I see the movie I'm not upset that they left it out.
Case in point - I had no idea what apothecary stuff you were talking about. Had to google it - now I remember, but I'd forgotten all about that!
I did think they left a bit off of Peeta giving Katniss the bread. They didn't show that he really intentionally gave it to her and took a beating for it. I asked my H who hadn't read the books if he understood that part and he hadn't really gotten it.
I'm definitely excited for the rest of the movies to come out!
I thought overall for a book to movie it was really good. I thought the book lended itself well to be a movie script. I thought they made Peeta kinda look like a wuss more than he was though, which disappointed me b/c I'm totally Team Peeta in the books.
I agree that sometimes it's been so long since I've read the books (I read them when Clara was a newborn while I was nursing 24/7) that I forget the little details as well so I'm not as upset when they leave them out. I re-read HP6 right before the movie came out (like I seriously had the book w/ me in the theater reading the last 2 pages, DH said I looked like a nut) and I was pissed at everything they left out or changed, haha.
