I think I only watched the third in the cinemas and fell asleep several times. Watched the first film several years later after having read the first book and was disappointed they didn't do the mutant candidate thing.

omg are you me? i had to see the third one in theaters for some reason. it was so disappointing AND i still had to see a whole nother movie to see how it ended?!

[therearewords]

Not you making me realise there's another 😂

[ladychips]

i just watched it again recently and was surprised at how good it still is (sorry if we hate it lol)

mte I watched all 3 on Netflix during the holidays and I was quite surprised, it still holds and JLaw is amazing

[amor143x]

what about the 4th one lol

[sbnouche]

lmao you're right, I always bundle the last 2 together in my head. I'm relieved that the dumb 2 parts trend that we had in the late 2010s is done (except for Dune)

Tell me why every time I scroll Netflix or Hulu or amazon it’s like HUNGER GAMES

Until I decide I want to rewatch them 🙄

I saw the first two movies five times in theaters each, then the third one was trash and it never recovered

Who would you cast as Katniss?

I think J Law was great, but if I was in charge of fasting I would have picked my fave Emily browning lol

Bloop. Still annoyed they did that, even if I like Catching Fire.

I could be wrong but I think the casting call was for Caucasian girls, how shitty that they didn’t even consider anyone else

[powerranger]

aw i loved this era. i was such a jlaw stan and the movies and books were so good to me. i remember being obsessed with that gold dress, but looking back i’m not that big of a fan now honestly

I think it was prabal gurung and I thought it was so perfect for her hunter games red carpet debut

I remembered there was a lot of pressure on her that night
