i read the books and have heard that S Collins (the author) worked with the script writers so it should be true to the book
plus with a two and a half hour run time they should have plenty of time to really encapsulate the book :3

Don't they do this in every screen adaptation of a pre-existing work of literature?

That's awesome! What extra is he? Yeah I had read that too. I also read that she saw the movie and really liked it, so that makes me hopeful

Ugh I hope not. But that does sound like something Hollywood would do >.>

2 hours and 30 minutes run time? That's amazing! I really do hope the movie is like the book!

I keep seeing "Team Gale" and "Team Peeta" and I'm like, "Team Down With the Capitol, bitches!"

Not really a spoiler, since it's not accurate, and doesn't reflect the outcome of the books.
It's large vertically though. Would you like me to remove the tags so you can feel better about the denotation of the word 'spoiler'?

That being said, I'm not going to watch the movie until I see some reviews. I honestly find it difficult to make the movie similar to the book's pacing and style, thus if they slow it down and draw out the romance, I'm going to hate it and it's not worth my time. If they are able to in fact keep the tone and pace of the book, then maybe I'll go with some friends. God knows I have enough friends planning multiple days to go see it...

There wasn't enough exposition before the Reaping. I didn't give a shit about Prim, or Rue.
Expendable mannequin characters, the lot of them.

The pacing was terrible. There was no character development beyond Katniss and Peeta, and what there was for those two was superficial at best.

Just saw the movie and now I'm reading the books. I noticed there is ZERO development of boy from District 12 (through a decent bit of the book). In the movie, it's like hes a main character.

He gets a significant portion of the text in the first few chapters, before the Reaping. After that, he's only mentioned by way of Katniss' pangs of guilt.
In the later books, he becomes slightly more prevalent.

Sure, Gale (I'm god awful with names). His only mention was the slight back story about him burning the bread. He's on the screen the entire time basically.
