    Uhm, it's okay. I only wish it was more dynamic/action driven style. If falls flat somehow..

    Kind of matches the book in that regard, at least.

    I now kind of wish that Katniss had still her bow and arrow ready on aiming. Sort of evolving. Hunger Games with a sorta brave looking Katniss, Catching Fire with Katniss and her hair loose and Katniss on this poster with new armor...

    Sigh and the YA Twilight cult continues with this romantic snoozefest disguised as a heavy action flick that simply combined Battle Royale with various sci-fi movies and stars a subpar lead actress, a completely terrible romantic lead, a big name actor that has lost all interest in acting and Donald Sutherlad who is probably confused how he came here.


    Glad this hype is over soon....hopefully Divergent doesen't take this hype over -,-


    Only excited for Robert Knepper

    I thought Divergent was better than Twilight..Shailene Woodley can act better than Kristen Stewart. Your comparison is a little too far. I do think that Jennifer Lawrence is sometimes taken for granted but she can act. Nowadays there's too many youngsters who obviously only got the role because of their looks..

    Why is everybody hating on the poster?....it's just a poster. I like it.

    That's grossly unfair. Even the least receptive person in the world to the Hunger Games is taking it too far by comparing it to Divergent or Twilight. I mean, just look at their Rotten Tomatoes scores.

    Not hating, just the style doesn't impress me is all.

    Here’s what the two films do have in common: Both are based on popular
    YA books, surrounded by fan fervor, and are centered on a female character. But when it
    comes to setting, plot, protagonists, audience, love interests and
    critical reception, the two projects couldn’t be more different. Twilight is essentially a fantasy love story, while Hunger Games is an adventure epic about survival. It’s like comparing blood-sucking oranges with fight-to-the-death futuristic apples.

    disagreed, both feature a love triangle as a device to cause a moral conflict in the female protagonist who is forced to chose between both. This moral conflict becomes a heavy focus throughout the entire storyline and has severe consequences that defy authority. That's basically the outline for both Hunger Games AND Twilight.


    Both are heavily similar, both might feature different settings and characters but are structure wise basically the same

    I disagree with you as well. Have you read both/either of the Twilight and Hunger Games series? In the Hunger Games books, the love triangle is not a love triangle until the third book. It is a necessity to survive. Furthermore, the love triangle is a small segment in the books except in the middle of the third book (notoriously the weakest) while in Twilight romance is the entire premise. In Twilight, Bella is defined by her romance. It's her whole reason for living, whereas Katniss is defined by love of family and the need to survive for her little sister. The male protagonists are largely an extension of her fighting to overcome obstacles, whether she is helping them to survive or they are helping her. In short, things happen to Bella but Katniss is largely in charge of her own decisions and thus her own destiny. There is no comparison between them except that they are teenagers.


    I don't know how the pacing of the 2 series is at all similar either, with the exception that they are both triliogies being made into 4 movies. That's all the pacing has in common and it's a superficial way to judge pacing at best. To lump them both together is to lump all YA dystopian/romance fantasy books together when they are not remotely all equal. For me it is the difference between Vampire Diaries and The 100. While on the outside they may look similar and they are marketed to the same demo, they are not even close to each other in tone, pacing, or focus.

    I love the series and like the movies but as a critical person, this poster is not good. The body and head are disproportionate and the outfit looks like it is strangling her, while the bow looks like a knife protruding from her neck. It looks like the head was photoshopped on to some stock Joan of Arc footage and then they threw other stuff in the background to distract us from it. The series deserves better.

    That subpar actress has been nominated for 3 Golden Globes and won twice. She was also nominated for 3 Emmys and won once. I think you are letting your disgust for the genre color everything about it.

    No, I have neither read the Twilight books nor the Hunger Games ones so I can only base my criticism on the movies.
    Necessity or not, it IS a huge focus that is paid a lot, if not too much, attention. Attention that would be needed elsewhere, elsewhere being the character developement. Throughout the entire movie I never got the feeling that Peeta was more than a lovesick softie, I never felt like Katniss was more than a...a...something I actually can't define. Sure she was more of a character than Bella ever was but only writing a compassionate character does NOT make up for missing character traits and a constant pouty mouth.

    The first movies characters were walking cliches, just because Twilight set the bar so low that doesen't mean mildly hovering above the bar is an option.
    Pacing is NOT the ammount of books a series pushes out, pacing is the time and the pace the story moves forward. Scenes are overly long, dialogue is stretched BEYOND belief. That entire interview scene with Katniss and her burning dress took so much time I almost fell asleep.

    Long looks, dialogue that could be dealt with way quicker and most of all a romance that is sticking out as a sore thumb.
    Is it superficial? Not at all, on the outside they have no similarity but the writing, the way these stories move themselves from romantic scene to romantic scene (in part one there was a brilliant pattern of running-talking about feelings-running-longing looks-more running)





    They ARE similar, storytelling wise the Hunger Games follows the classic triangle formula.


    You have the idealized girl with little to no flaw in her very character. The contrary is the case. She's a kind hearted personality. But also is she brooding, constantly thinking.
    But other than that there is not enough character in her, that is for the reader to live through that character. For the reader to feel like being 'her'.
    Then the characters good traits get her into trouble (Katniss willingly joining the games instead of her sister, Bella questioning Edwards actions so much until he shows her the truth).
    She is thrown into trouble with a good looking male who does not appear like the right choice (because of a move the audience dismisses, Peeta for example being shown like a complete loser in the games and Edward looking like he's about to puke because of Bellas presence) for her because the 'perfect match' already was introduced to the audience earlier on as an understanding friend (Jacob being the understanding and dreamy buddy, Gale being like the perfect and understanding guy).
    But over the course of the storyline the characters grow closer and the audience realizes some similiarities and a 'connection' between the both of them .


    I won't list the rest of the reasons because if you have seen or read both pieces of media you will piece together the rest.
    It's all there, right down to the authoritarian character that poses as the villain to the characters 'epic' journey (Aro, Snow).
    So please, dismiss all you want in the name of a film/book series you like but at least try to remain objective

    Just because it is cool to hate on Twilight these days it doesen't neglect any similarities to stuff people seem to like.

    The similarities are there, not even hidden in a subtle way.

    Only because both are set in different worlds and different genres that doesen't neglect the similar story pace and structure.



    It's a classic YA novel, idealized female, two idealized males, moral and mental fiasco for both that bonds one side of the triangle together while shutting the other out. Then the now 'closer' part of the triangle does various stuff wrong and the other 'moves back in'.


    "But no, they aren't similar because Hunger Games is cool and edgy while the internet hates Twilight"....yeah right.


    I get that critcizing something people consider 'cool' is really not going to meet any positive feedback but the signs are there.

    That has nothing to do with my disgust for the genre. We've seen various meh actors win prizes over time.
    Popularity overshadows talent at times and while you may enjoy Hunger Games or Jeniffer Lawrence her past performances consisted of beautiful line delivery like "I..er...I can't *shuts up and leaves the room*. A lot of dramatic pauses. I could totally see Lawrence aprubtly stuttering in a sentence become a meme)
    I don't hate the genre, I just dislike the hypocrisy that connects Hunger Games and the entire YA genre.

    People seem to like Hunger Games, thus the lead actress is the best, the storyline is 'totally individual'. Meanwhile the one is completely despised, thus the storyline is cliched and the lead actress is terrible (she is pretty bad but Lawrence is not significantly better. Stewart went from the SAG awards to the Razzies).

    I mean...c'mon people put Hunger Games on a pedestreal while stomping onto something that is more than just similar to it.



    "My franchise rocks but no matter if somethings similar to it, I'll bash it so no one realizes it and bashes my stuff as well" is a mantra I`m seeing with the Hunger Games fandom.


    Please, I utterly despise Twilight for what it did to vampires but just look at what the Hunger Games is....something that pretends to tell a heartwrenching story about kids murdering kids for entertainment but focusing more on "Peeta, we are forced to be a couple for the press but I don't love you. I love you Gale but we can't be togethr. Peeta *kiss* yadayadayada"


    I have no hate against such a genre, I don't enjoy it but I can accept it. All I hate is fan hypocrisy.


    Love the franchise all you want but don't shun away from obvious plot similarities that are so shockingly similar that I keep wondering wether the authors of Twilight and Hunger Games actually play gold together or something like that.

    You are missing out by not reading the books. I only saw the first Twilight movie but I read all of the books. I also read all the Hunger Games books and have seen both movies so far.


    While the romance factor is played up more in the Hunger Games movies, it is still not even close to the amount of time it is focused on in Twilight. I do agree that Peeta's character most suffers from the transition from book to movie, but even in the movies, I never felt like Katniss' character journey was defined by romance. Nor did I find it a particularly overwhelming part of the movie and I am notoriously an anti-shipper so we will have to agree to disagree on this point. I never felt like Katniss was as stock a character as you obviously did either.


    I also still disagree about the pacing. Are some scenes long? Yes, as they are in almost every movie. For me the set up took too long in the movie but I already knew the setting and the premise behind the games. The books also started slow with a lot of world building before the games ever began. To be honest, Twilight moved into the story faster than Hunger Games did for me both in the books and the movies. I would have shortened a lot of the beginning and spent more time in the actual games in both versions.


    I also completely disagree that Katniss is flawless. In fact, her inability to work with others is often her downfall and that pride of doing things alone continues to make things harder throughout the series. She has little social skills and can come off as a thoroughly unpleasant person to be around. She is even less of an idealized character in the third book, and quite frankly I was almost rooting for her to die so we could focus on more proactive characters. It wasn't until the third book that I had any trouble relating to Katniss.


    I will give you that they introduce a male counterpart at the beginning of the story that the female character connects to although Bela is all about Edward from the beginning. Also if I recall right Jacob as the sympathetic friend/love triangle doesn't become a real factor until later in the Twilight novels. I'll have to watch the Hunger Games movie again, but in the beginning of the books Katniss suggests they all leave together as a way to protect both of their families instead of for romantic reasons. However in both the female protagonists do use the other part of the love triangle as a means to an end instead of being truly into them. Katniss uses Peeta to survive the games. Bella uses Jacob to make Edward jealous.


    As most teen hero stories deal with the hero going against an authoritarian figure, that is more of a genre thing than anything. While you accuse me of not being objective, I think the same can be said of you. You seem to be more dismissing the YA genre more than anything else and lumping them all together. I have not seen the Divergent movie yet and I have only read the first 1.5 of the books, I wouldn't lump it in with these books either. All genres have elements that can be found in most of the stories categorized that way. To say that these stories are all the same because of it is like deigning all mysteries to be the same because they have detectives, crimes, and clues. That is not liking a category of stories, instead of criticing them. If you don't like YA stories, that's fine. They aren't for everyone, but there is as much variety of quality in them as there is in any other genre.
