    to any of the people who give it 1 or two stars, read the book first! to thoroughly enjoy the movie you have to know the background ! it was awsome! and the length was needed to fit all that awsomeness in one movie!!!

    sorry to all you who think this is original...sadly it is a huge ripoff of an anime/manga series called 'battle royale', just made more pg friendly, and with a different setting (and a girl hero - wow original ...:p) and to whoever said this was better than twilight... .. you need to read /watch something actually good... twilight was the worst thing to ever cast a shadow over childrens literature and crazed tweens looking for a hannah montana replacement :s good god, go read a decent book

    i haven't read the series, but i thoroughly enjoyed this movie, especially jennifer lawrence's performance. she's definitely one of the greatest young actresses out there. the movie was a little long, but i guess they're just trying to capture the essence of the book as much as they could. oh, and it's not as gory/violent as people have mentioned, definitely not comparable to the level of brutality in battle royale! if you decided to see it, be prepared for overexcited & loud teenage viewers!! they can be quite annoying (before, during, and after the movie) :(

    same old, same old. female character was a watered down version of angelina jolie. great potential, dissappointing outcome. too long. this was simply a reality show with killing. i'd rather watch celebrity apprentice.

    amazing movie!!! a lot of people say its a horrible movie and book because they thing its about kids killing eachother but they're missing the point!!! its about how love and determination can conquer all so you should never give up!!! i don't know why people hated the movie because the graphics were amazing and had a great story line.
