Never read the books (which I hear are fantastic) but saw the movie tonight and it was great! Having known little, or should I say nothing about it, the plot was very interesting and the movie itself quite entertaining. Apparently, this series is speculated to have a bigger fan base and be bigger than Twilight.. Yeh, I know - we'll see about that. But still, worth seeing. If you plan on going - reserve seats ahead of time! Or just wait til crowds die down. It's a long movie too, run time like 2hr30m, so bring snacks

My daughter and I both read all three books. I enjoy politics and sci fi...so yeah, I loved it. Kinda cool that my 11-year old was all hyped up about seeing this on a "daddy date." Life is good.

It was a very violent concept, but they definitely tried to minimize the gore factor, which was good. I really enjoyed it, and I also HATED Avatar. Now I will have to read the trilogy and wait for the next movies to come out.

Good movie!!!!! Most of the time though I was pondering the political message of the movie.

I believe November 2013 is the expected release of the next movie.

I have not seen the film yet but have read the trilogy and am excited to see how the movie turned out.

I will be going when the crowds die down. I'm patient.

A story where a corrupt, tyrannical, pompous and decadent government/society punishes its lower class districts by subjecting their innocent children to endure an annual ritual game of life or death where only one child can survive, rather than summarily executing them as a lesson to the districts for a failed attempt at uprising. I have mixed feelings about the movie.
