I wouldn't stoop so low as to say it was in that tier of movie, but I guess it just didn't do it for me.<br /><br />Oh well! This is a great blog by the way; literally the only one I have bookmarked.N.

Worhrl, I can totally see how some people wont like this movie. <br />I personally read the books before the movie came out, so for me it was more of seeing the visualization of what I'd already experienced.<br /><br />The shaky cam sucked, and the action scenes needed more blood for sure.<br /><br />As far as Gary Ross goes, he's only done 2 other movies and I have only seen one of them, Seabiscuit. That was a great movie, if you can stand horse movies I guess.<br /><br />In THG, the avenues that seem so ripe for explanation do get explored, in the next two movies. <br />On its own, THG is a movie about a girl who offers her life to save her sisters, and while doing so, creates a spark of rebellion. <br /><br />Had we not read the books first, it would most likely have been a different experience for us altogether. <br /><br />The main thing I wanted to get across int he review, whether the film was good or not, is that THG is not some Tween romance tripe that is geared towards girls. <br /><br />So we can agreee to disagree on this one, nor harm done. right? :)~The M'haelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770238259793573664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877385849157369308.post-43783245857231718312012-03-28T20:14:55.797-04:002012-03-28T20:14:55.797-04:00I hate to say it, but this is the first review fro...I hate to say it, but this is the first review from THC that I've completely disagreed with. <br />The entire film was cliche and underwhelming. They had so many avenues busting with potential, ready to be explored, but they blew it all off for the same old story.<br />I've never been that fond of Gary Ross, but this solidified my contempt for his as a director. He ruined every action scene with unfocused shots and shaking the camera, like they had MJ Fox running it.<br />I love THC, but this review was so far from accurate. I guess everybody has a different opinion in some degree.N.

Also, the first two books, you're right, not too gory, the 3rd book though...maaan. That one will be pretty hard to make into a PG13 movie unless they want to sugar coat the deaths, and I for one definitely don't want them to do that.Kitchen Bitch (Hillary)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09672767198230965890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877385849157369308.post-87016240603704462582012-03-26T15:51:56.314-04:002012-03-26T15:51:56.314-04:00The Raid is one of THE movies that we have been dy...The Raid is one of THE movies that we have been dying to see for a while now. <br /><br />Until it comes to Michigan though, we are out of luck.<br /><br />We are officially jealous of you!The M'haelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770238259793573664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877385849157369308.post-23745428580622422912012-03-26T00:48:21.364-04:002012-03-26T00:48:21.364-04:00Sounds good.

You gotta check that one out if you get a chance... one hell of an action flick.Clarence Dasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236678012061388501noreply@blogger.com
