I can remember reading the first book of this series and wanting Gale and Katniss to be together so bad (although after reading the entire series, I am team Peeta)! I also remember staying up late for the midnight showing with my roommates and wondering how the film was going to portray this idea that pre-teens and older teens fight one another to the death. Although a creative and moral building plot, should we pay money to go see so much violence in our younger generation? I mean, if you take a step back...would we have ever agreed to see this movie 10 years ago? Does the overarching moral of the film outweigh the violence we witness in it? What do you think?

On another note, the first part of the last movie came out today--yeah! ...right? Actually, for the first time with these series, I'm not really that excited to see it. If it's like the first part of the book, it will be slow and repeatedly show Katniss suffering from PTSD and losing her mind!
It's interesting that I don't want to see that (which I believe most movies cut out the consquence of violence), but isn't it kind of cool that the writers of the book and movie include this to show a more realistic view of the effects of violence and war? Just a thought :)
Anyway, I haven't seen it yet, but if you have...please give me a review! I would love to hear what you think!
P.S. I just watched this video with Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) for Hunger Games and couldn't stop laughing! Enjoy!

In my personal opinion, it was amazing! I was hesitant on exactly how they were going to do the first half. Because, like you said, it would be slow. But, overall they did a good job with it. Now we just have to wait another year for the second half.
