am i the only who thinks that the movie kinda sucks.....its not bad...but the book is waaaaaayyyy better....:/

That's what usually happens when a book is adapted into a movie. They can't put every single detail from the book into the film, or else we'd be stuck in the movie theater for five hours.
Everything that went into the production was approved by Suzanne Collins herself. She, Gary Ross, and the cast and crew did what they thought could do the book justice, in my opinion. They weren't trying to make a sucky movie.
Also, consider this. The novel is written from Katniss' perspective, right? You can't exactly make a movie from a character's point of view. So they picked up Jennifer Lawrence, who is enormously talented, and dropped her right in, and she did the best she could.
That's all I have to say. I don't think the movie sucked, however.

Well I wouldn't say it sucks because I'm a HUGE fan of both but I'd definitely say the book reigns supreme though :) If they put every single detail in there's no telling how long the movie would be! :D

I hated the movie, so no. It reminded me of a book trailer, it had all the important parts mentioned, but lacked all the emotion that came with the book.

The movie isn't that bad but yes, the books are better of course

The book is better, like in any adaptation, but I loved the movie.

this usually happens when it comes to making a movie based off a book. I love the movie but the book is better ... that's hoe it usually goes :)

The audience would begin to get restless if every detail made it into the movie. It's this way with every book-to-film adaptation, so we're not the only ones. Of course the books will always be better, but the movie does good compared to a lot of other book-to-film adaptations.
Gary Ross, the crew, and the entire cast put a lot of effort into it---and you can tell when you watch it. We should be so thankful we have one at all, and we're also getting its sequels.

The movie could have done better, I'll admit. Like the tribute parade scene, Rue's death, the mutts. But overall it's worth any fan's time. A lot of things we must take into consideration, like time, budget, and more. Squeezing in every detail isn't possible---but if we want the details we can always reread the trilogy. They're both great in their own right. :)

Well that's YOUR opinion. I LOVED the movie! It just left out some stuff because of TIMING Suzan helped with the movie and got to pick out what they left out-jammer54

Your not the only one. I honestly hate the movie..

A movie based on a book usually turns out what people don't expect. Weather it's good or bad. So, yeah, the book is better than the movie but I kind of enjoyed the movie, even though they cut out a lot from the book. I wonder what Catching Fire will be like.

For one, the movie doesn't suck and you have no judging skills. Yes the book is a lot better but the movie has a wonderful cast and good acting. Don't judge Josh Hutcherson because it was his first dramatic role in a movie
