@naughtmai Maybe the book is more exciting but I found the movie slow, tame and sometimes poorly executed :(

@emlynaddison Opposite for me. I was expecting a silly Twilight-like violent soap for teens, but both Hunger Games movies have wide appeal.

@naughtmai At first I thought it was a "teen flick" then saw strong reviews and so I watched it. Nah, teen flick.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emlynaddison The books are targeted at older teens/young adults, but it didn't, IMO, fall into typical American teen soapy/shallowness.

@naughtmai That's why I was so frustrated! It had really strong ideas and good acting but fell flat. For me.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emlynaddison in the books, different aspects r emphasized. The games take weeks, for ex, & u know Catnis' internal mental state always.

@naughtmai After watching World War Z (and Walking Dead on TV) I just found the action/violence a bit tame & contrived...2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emlynaddison Tame is because most movies r made pg-13 so kids & adults go see them, lol. A direct translation of the books require an R.

@emlynaddison *spoilers for Hunger Games 1* Katniss couldn't mercy-kill him right away like in the movie.

@naughtmai Yeah that's the usual edited-for-screen thing...
