I saw the trailer and I totally want to see it. Jennifer Laurence doesn't really seem to work as Katniss but Josh seems to work for Peeta... at least, judging by their personalities on Wikipedia. Besides... Josh is kinda...hot? :)
(Okay, I'm blushing as I'm writing this, I'm not totally shameless.) :)

I saw it. It was borderline perfect. Pretty much exactly like the book (except a neccesary perspective shift) and less gore. In some ways, it was even better than the book, I thought. My dad found it disturbing, and thought that the intended message was unlikely to get through to the target audience. I partly agree, and can just say that I'm trying my best to be the exception to the rule.
Also, I give up. I am now an official Peeta fangirl. O.o

Guys... my swimming coach went to the advance premiere because her aunt works in the movie industry... She said the movie was good, and she hasn't read the books. (!!!)

I'm also going on the 24th. Whatever with me being a bit frightened of the violence I'm just so EXCITED!!!

It's rated PG-13 here so it shouldn't be too bad. Besides, the director said he wanted to bring attention to the horror of children dying, not their blood. :)

The movie was AMAZING! Albeit the effects weren't that mind-blowing but when you see the Capitol and the PEOPLE in the Capitol you'll understand that the budget was well-spent.
Katniss was pretty good most of the time. Peeta was pretty good, but his performance wasn't very special. And Gale's FACE! xD Prim and Rue were amazing. I actually cried during that scene with Rue and I didn't in the books...
The movie wasn't very violent and not very romantic either. They cut some things so they're not as graphic- the Cornucopia scene, Glimmer and the bees, the Muttations and Cato. But they did show some injuries that were... gross.
The only downside was the camera. It moved so much and the scenes were cut so suddenly that I got a bit dizzy.
Overall, AMAZING MOVIE. And hopefully I'll be able to see it on Thursday with my old school. :D

It was awesome! I agree with Olive; the camera shook a bit too much, and I had to see it pretty close to the front of the theater because we didn't get there early enough.
So, my only complaints were that the camera shook too much and that Foxface just wasn't, well, that they didn't really get it across how clever she was. That was it.
Did anybody else always feel like Clove was a bit older? I always imagined her to be about the same age as Cato. (Guess what? It is kay-toe. Not ka-to, like so many of my friends said. HA!) But the actress was brilliant. Every time she spoke, I thought "vicious bloodthirsty little child. LOSE!" while at the same time thinking "awesome vicious bloodthirsty little child. WIN!"
All the Careers were awesome. Cato, Clove, didn't really see much of Marvel, but Glimmer: whoa. She had that one line, on the first night after they had found the girl from (6? 7?) who started the fire and Katniss first sees Peeta with ---, and Glimmer says something along the lines of, "Did you see the look on her face? She was like, please don't kill me!" in such a... (insert TNO word here that I don't know) voice. Anyway, it was a very scary voice.
I just knew that they would play Abraham's Daughter for the credits! Best song on the album, by the way.

I know it was so good!!! I jumped out of my seat when the mutations appeared. My friends and I were the fourth group in line, but we sprinted into the theater, and were the first ones in there!:)
(March 25, 2012 - 2:28 pm)
We were the first ones in line too, when we saw it yesterday. (My dad, my sister, and me.) Everyone in line behind us was super excited. Then the people from the previous showing came out of the theater.
My Dad: They look angry.

FINALLY saw it so I'm venturing onto this thread for the first time.
Um. I have three complaints.
1. Breaking Dawn Part Two trailer + similar locale = a movie spent thinking, there are no sparkly vampires in the Hunger Games, there are no sparkly vampires in the Hunger Games...
2. Too much jitter-cam!
3. THAT IS NOT PRESIDENT SNOW.
Other than that, *flails* brilliant adaption. Bwah. (And I want to *be* their costume designer, who clearly knows EXACTLY how to hit the Uncanny Valley gahhhh Effie whyyyyyyyyy.) The acting was... amazing... overall some of the best not-animated!film!acting I've seen in a quite ridiculously long time if you exclude Not!President Snow (protip for Donald Sutherland: that is NOT how you do sinister) and, and sweet snakes Gary Ross knows what he's doing.
Wes Bentley's beard was... distracting. I kept staring at it and picturing him shaving and having Sweeney Todd flashbacks X_x
(And speaking of flashbacks, THANK YOU SUZANNE COLLINS FOR GIVING ME HOUNDS OF BASKERVILLE FLASHBACKS. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SLEEP TONIGHT ANYWAY!)
Also, I snickered unduly when Katniss found the camera in the tree because haha she's watching Big Brother /is shot.
