The Hunger Games (movies)

My hubby purchased the entire collection of Hunger Games movies on blu-ray a few weeks ago. My collection doesn’t include a digital copy….just the movies themselves along with bonus features spread out over 6 discs. I’ve watched “The Hunger Games”, “Catching Fire”, “Mockingjay part 1” and “Mockingjay part 2” today. They seemed to have kept the movies pretty close to the books from what I can tell. I know they can’t put everything from the books into the movies….if they did, each movie would be about 12 hours long and no one would be able to sit through that. I did enjoy watching the movies today.

Anyway, I never did get to see these movies as they were being released in the theaters. I wanted to read the books and have them finished before I saw the movies. I didn’t want the movies to have any effect on what I was reading as I was making my way through the books and I’ve always preferred it that way. My hubby purchased the movies for me when I finished the last book in the trilogy not long ago.

Have you watched any of the movies? What are your thoughts on them? Did you watch them when they were released in theaters or did you wait to watch them at home once they were out on dvd/blu-ray?

    I heard good things about it but somehow I can’t get into it, like all movies that are overhyped I just can’t watch it for some reason. I will probably pick up the book sooner or later but I won’t watch the movies anytime soon.

      I agree with you that some things are over hyped. I don’t know that this was over hyped or not. I definitely recommend reading the book before the movie, however, I always do that myself. I prefer the movie not ruining the book for me though, just my own personal preference.

    This was my favourite series. I went to every midnight release of the movie, and that includes the marathons beforehand. I own the books, DVDs, digital copies, Bliu-Rays, etc. I have a lot of merchandise from the franchise as well. I even have a tattoo of a mockingjay with a quote from the movie. I was heavy into this trilogy. It’s so good and definitely relevant.

      I’m glad you liked them. I did enjoy the movies since they stayed pretty close to the books. I just got the blu-ray version but mine didn’t come with a digital copy. I think some of the blu-ray copies come with a digital version but mine didn’t…..but I’m okay with that. I just wanted the blu-ray version so that I could watch them. How many times have you watched the movies?
