DO NOT pay money to see The Hunger Games. Worst pile of tripe I've seen in a long time. Do not believe the high ratings it is bizarrely being given.

I quite enjoyed it to be honest. Maybe because I missed all the hype and wasn't aware it's a book.

I thoughtThe Hunger games was very good. 8.5 out of 10.

It is completely unreal which is why I liked it. The American version of Battle Royale. The lead actress is very attractive as well.

I went into it fresh as well and didn't know it was the first part of a trilogy and didn't know it was a book and I thought that might have been a reason why I didn't like it / understand it / thought it was a load of crap. I won't talk about the specific downfalls of the movie at the risk of spoiling but to me it seemed there were a heap of sub plots going on but only touched on each of them a little and I didn't get a sense of why or where certain relationships came from or why they existed. I know its a difficult thing to fit everything into a film and a book can give you background on the various characters but that is the challenge the writers face, and I thought they failed miserably.

The Iceman

I don't think you could fully enjoy the film without reading the book/trilogy. There is so much detail behind some of what the movie shows glimpses of.......

Milltown Row2

Jennifer's body is on now, any good? worth staying up? Megan Fox in it so worth at least 10 minutes.........

Serious hype around this on Twitter although the first film was a bit of a slowburner in terms of not doing well until it went to DVD. Some people know every line of it and some don't get it at all

Saw this earlier, harder than it looks! Stay classy Gaa Board.

Am I the only one who thinks Anchorman is the most over-rated film in history?

It's on of these cult films you have to say is great. You're obviously not cool or a student. It's not the worst film and there are some good parts but a reasonable amount of dung mixed in too.

It was on the other night on one of the channels, I'd never seen it before so watched it . I'd feel the same as nrico2006 and didn't really get what the whole fuss is about it.
