Too bad the Japanese cinema version of Battle Royale (a book that the hunger games blatantly ripped off) would never see American screens.

Too bad the movie was not deserving of such a HUGE opening weekend. Remember just because a movie rakes in millions sure doesn’t mean it’s worth paying $11.50 to see on the big screen. The movie was not even half as great as the book. So basically if you don’t want to be underwhelmed & highly disappointed with this watered down, disney-ish adaptation, just stick to the book. Really can’t believe Suzanne Collins was on board for this half baked attempt. Hunger Games the movie did not live up to all the media HYPE. That’s such a shame. Hey perhaps Hollywood will listen to the fans of this book & do the 2nd & 3rd movies justice?
