My husband and I recently watched this because of all the hype surrounding it. We agreed that the movie was pretty good, but it seemed like some things were left out. Neither of us have read the books (although we now plan to). I'm hoping the books can help fill in some of the gaps in the movie and explain more about the society.

Loved the books and the movie. I think reading the books first helps with the movie. And when you read the books you can understand the characters better. But they did a great job keeping your attention.

a very well done screenplay, based on a truely magnificent book

Loved this, stayed true to the book!!!

READ THE BOOKS FIRST!!! If you don't you most likely won't understand some of it because of all of the internal monolog.

i guess i liked the movie, but it was directed very badly. as some one who hasnt read the books, i was a bit lost throughout the movie.

I thought this movie was made very well, acted appropriately, and better than any movie in the Twilight saga, thus far. I'm a big Jennifer Lawrence fan, and think she's a wonderful actress, and she proves again in this movie, her acting credibility.

Went in to this not knowing exactly what this movie was about and loved it! I thought they did a superb job. The acting was great and really had me totally absorded in the movie. Can't wait for the other 2 movies to come out.

Most people who read the book first felt the movie was lacking, however I watched the movie first, then went back to read the book. For me, this movie definitely deserves 5 stars. If you like this series, go watch Battle Royale!
