I really enjoyed the first two books quite a bit but the third book wasn't nearly as much fun I thought.

I'm with you Rico.. loved first two books and 2/3's of the final book but the last third lost me. But I'm sure the movies will be fantastic.

I have only read the first book.  I'll have to pick up the 2nd at least and read it before the new movie is released.

Still haven't seen the first one but since daughter got it for Christmas, that should be easy to arrange.

I liked the books but the turning from the games to the real world in the last one made for a different experience which I think put a few people off. Still a good series overall.

Making my way through this book now.

Interesting trailer.  Emphasis on certain things and not on other aspects of the book.  But I'm sure they will show a lot more in other trailers before the movie is out.

I have stalled out on the 2nd book, have to restart it.  Not grabbing me like the first one.

I saw this over the weekend with the family - my daughter is a big fan of the series.  It was good and entertaining.  Not my cup of tea, but I had a good time.  My daughter really enjoyed the film.

Only read the first book, thought it was aight, and liked that movie better than the book. This one was awesome! Really enjoyed it, twice as good as the first movie. Great fun. Good acting.

Of course, just getting to the theater these days is exciting in itself ;)
So there you go.

Just saw "Catching Fire" today (my favorite of the three books). They did a really good job with the movie. Here's the song that plays during the credits along with clips from the films. Love this song!

I really enjoyed this movie and thought it went by very quickly. I had just finished reading The Hunger Games book before I saw it and I think it really made it that much better. Looking forward to the next one and I'll need to read Catching Fire soon.

You mean, looking forward to the next two films.  The last book in the trilogy is being split into two movies.
