The Twilight Games of Harry Potter

I'm about to get real. The long awaited (for some) movie, The Hunger Games has finally graced us all with its presence. This weekend I saw it twice, I've read the first book twice, and I'm that kid that will see the next 3 midnight showings and talk about it contstantly. My review of the movie was that it was fantastic, but that's coming from someone who doesn't take the whole "let's turn that book into a movie" thing too seriously. I mean sure they left some stuff out, but a movie is not a book. It will never be and I don't think movie producers are trying to beat the book version of whatever they're creating. Books leave the whole story up to the reader's imagination and that's automatically cooler than whatever they put together on screen, in my opinion. I don't mean to get on rants about everything that happens in the world and me defending this movie is just as rediculous as every other argument out there BUT people need to just chill out. First, you have the people that don't like these types of movies because everyone else does. If you're one of those people, listen to me, you're not cool. You're just denying yourself the pleasure of something awesome by having some stupid ego issue. Just go see the durn movie, and if you don't like it, fine. We all have our favorite movies and I'm not saying you need to like the Hunger Games to be a human. And for seconds, people, STOP comparing everything to Twilight and Harry Potter. It is not the same thing. It's like saying the Blind Side and Remember the Titans are the same movie because they both have football and happy endings in it. How can you compare movies that have completely different plot lines? Apparently if a book is made into a movie, it's automatically compared to HP and Twilight even though books have been made into movies for years before either of those were even thought of. The Hunger Games is a cool story and I was stoked to see what they came up with in a movie. It didn't dissapoint me at all and I'm that much more excited to see the next one. Some really cool fight scenes, the casting was perfect (Lenny Kravitz being my fave) and even the soundtrack is legit. So those are all of my opinions (for now atleast). I'm going to go write a book now. And then turn it into a movie and screw up all of literature.
