I haven't watch the movie, but I did heard of it. My older sister told me that it is lovely, though she has no idea about the book. She seemed surprise to see that we own the book. wth
The movie and book is wonderful. I'm usually harsh with movies, but I did find it good. The actors did their part well.
I didn't want to read it at first since the plot resembles Battle Royale too much. I wanted to read something new after all. However, I like to think now that Battle Royale is more of a pioneer that established its own line of plot: a group of young people forced to kill each other and to become victor. While reading the story, I realized it's not just Battle Royale, it also reminded me of the Twelve kingdoms. A girl who didn't really fit in, forced to turn into a killing machine
Still, it's marvelous, and worth the read. I didn't care that it reminded me of anything, cause most stories are the same anyways. I couldn't help but compare this book to Twilight. Yes I happen to find the book really dull and boring, and all I was waiting for is to get disappointed. But not the Hunger Games. Comparing Katniss with Bella, both are quiet girls, however Katniss has a calm and brooding personality like a shounen manga hero, while Bella is like, quiet cause.. she has nothing good to say anyway =_=
The movie is good, but I can't judge it properly since I know the story before I watched it. Just that, I feel disappointed with their choice for Gale. Now, I'm not saying the actor was bad, in fact he's great! He gave off a lot of feelings without the need to speak. He showed lots of emotions and pain, and it's glaringly obvious that he was clearly in love with Katniss without the need to do any speaking.

| i like this dude the most |
The thing is, Gale Hawthorne was described as really handsome, "born with a camera-ready" face. The guy above is handsome, but I don't know, his face just doesn't appeal to me. I though Gale would be that guy that really appeals to all race and not just in the western world.
Maybe I was expecting something like this:
lol, I read the hunger games during the viral peak of ridiculously photogenic guy. Seriously he deserves the role for Gale =))
