I can't tell you how much I loved this.

Went to the Double Bill last night, two films for the price of one, surprisingly! I really loved this, thought it continued along nicely with the first film, and stayed true to the book. So sad now I have to wait another year for Mockingjay part 1!

they ought to make a tv series backstory of this, it would be cheap as chips to make (its pretty much post Armageddon(in a way) back to basics props) and theres so much more to flesh out.

not even a video game!
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

I'm seriously considering going again. I'm having withdrawals. I was so excited, and now I'm back to waiting in anticipation. Guh, a whole year?

Got cancelled on for tonight now :( maybe tomorrow?
i was really excited too then the projector ballsed up and it didnt start till 1.10!!
my excitement had sort of died by that point cause i was certain theyd cancel it :(

so i sort of want to see it again without having that feeling of dread that i could be kicked out the screen at any moment D:

This was SO GOOD, one of the best adaptations I've ever seen! But man do I hate open endings, even if I already know how the series will finish as I've read the books...

Katniss? Amazing! Peeta? Surprisingly likeable (I'm actually rooting for him now). Effie? Amazing (she made me tear up)! Haymitch? Amazing! Cinna? AMAZING!

Also? I thought I loved Finnick before but then Sam Claflin happened. He is perfect amounts of cheekiness, heroism and shirtlessness *swoon*

10/10

Also, our theatre burst out in spontaneous applause when Katniss [spoiler]broke the force field in the arena, hee![/spoiler] Did this happen elsewhere too?
