Soo Karab that means you want robert pattinson in yet another movie?

XDXDXDXD!!!!!


Robert Pattinson is 24, so he doesn't suit the role either (pwned)

God just finished the series

WTF JUST HAPPENED????? the ending made no sense from a writers perspective.
Spoiler

Why is prim dead? it literally served no dramatic purpose, but it ruined the life of the main character. Why the F*CK did she make coin twisted, it serves no literary purpose, but it F*CKS up the life of the main character?



Suzanne just seems like a crazy person obsessed with making her characters as sad as possible

It's basically showing the reality of war and of government. In war, people die, and in the government people are corrupt. It sucked that so many people had to die at the end, but that's just reality. The ending wasn't happy, and I feel like a happy ending would have ruined the series. It was a hopeful ending, kind of happy tinged with the sadness of loss. But above all it was realistic. Given the rest of the story, I think the ending was about as good as I could have expected.

Yeah, but I don't read for realism, I read for fantasy (in an escapist sense). Keep the realism for biographies and such and give me my happy endings

Happy endings are overrated. The best endings in my opinion are endings that are open for interpretation, like Inception's ending. I like meanigful endings as well. I feel like the ending to this series was very meaningful. It was a happy ending for the most part, but then there's that sense of "this is what we lost to get here" as well. It waqs kind of happy tinged with sadness and loss, and to me that's a very good ending. But, to each their own, I suppose.

In my opinion, closure endings are the best. Doesn't have to be a happy ending as long as they finish the story completely. Give us a general idea of how the characters finish thier lives. Much like how Harry Potter did with the epilogue. Endings where they leave so many questions and wonders just don't full fill me.

So far I've only seen the movie for the Hunger Games and I have to say it was a really nice movie. I enjoyed it. My mom bought the books. Maybe I can borrow them from her when she finishes them. I do like how they did the movie though.

Can I just ask, is this a fanclub? 'Cause if it's not, I wanna make one.

And so this post won't be spam or anything, I think that the third book was pretty crummy. The second was my favourite.

This is not a fanclub. Just a place to talk about the series. If you wish to make a fanclub go to the fanclubs forum and make a topic there for it. :)
