I saw Hunger Games today.

What did you expect from a children's movie??

**Lukke** · 03-28-2012, 06:59 AM

Pretty boring for me.

**Sid70** · 03-28-2012, 07:10 AM

I think its totally fucked up, they should have NOT bring this violence level for the kids...

**Kevin Marx** · 03-28-2012, 07:49 AM

Many shows/movies that are pimped for the "child" age group are very much adult content, but they have "children" as the primary characters.

Glee, on television, is something I typically don't even want my 17 year old watching. The musical aspect of it is nice, but the soap opera aspect of it and the points they try to push are way over the top for public television.

I've read the 3 Hunger Games books and there's a definite subtext to the stories; However, the stories were aimed at the teen demographic.

I honestly felt that my mind envisioned a much more graphic portrayal than the movie even got close to and I applaud them for that. It could have been a MAJOR bloodbath, but then they wouldn't have gotten their PG-13 rating.

People shouldn't be addressing how the story is so violent, rather they should be more worried about how a society devolved into such a state and decry that. The greatest way to get people to submit to the will of oppressors is to instill the proper amount of fear. Using kids as the gladiators seems like a very effective way to achieve such means.

saw it last Friday, what a waste of time...

**John-ACWM** · 03-28-2012, 08:44 AM

I'll still see it, looked entertaining from the trailer. Goes with the popcorn I guess.

**PastorSinAlot** · 03-28-2012, 08:50 AM

kids killing kids any type of entertainment is fuck up

**Far-L** · 03-28-2012, 09:21 AM

People that want the ultra-violence should stick with Battle Royal then...

Agree wholeheartedly!

Stephane.. if you haven't checked it out already, give John Carter a go.. it's a totally freaking awesome movie !!!

**TrustCash** · 03-28-2012, 09:34 AM

A washe up version of this classic!

**slapass** · 03-28-2012, 09:44 AM

I was amazed at how cheap they did it. Jerky camera work to hide the lack of backgrounds etc and then outfitting everyone with North Face gear was just nuts. It was poorly done and the book is great.

I still didn't find that movie half as disturbing as anyone who recommended it to me, but it was pretty good.

Will do soon! thanks Ruth!

Still reminds me heavily of battle royale. Didn't realize they just gave hunger games a pg13 rating. All these shitty teen trilogy books need to die because they keep giving scifi and medieval fantasy type books and movies a bad name. Nerds need to take it back already

yeah i wish the world would get better soon so movies can stop fuckin sucking! ;)

this planet has been immersed in violence since the beginning, it's not worse now, it's actually a bit better if anything. Not by very much though...

I was so pissed when I heard about Hunger Games because I'm a devoted Battle Royal fan, and it makes me angry that people only find out about this one after HG. But what I love is the book Battle Royal, after you read it you realize that the movie actually sucks. Everyone who is interested in this kind of plot should read BR

This video Hunger Games is not science-fiction or entertainment but a blueprint for what the controlfreaks are planning.

Get a load of this nutjob over here. Probably thinks my posts are an Illuminati brainwashing attempt or something.

**jscott** · 03-29-2012, 08:53 PM

Btw, I didn't think it was horrible movie.... it was kinda neat at times, and ended with the thought of "surely there's part 2 coming soon"
