Movies - The Hunger Games, John Carter

[kriadydragon]

I cried! I never cry for movies but this one made me cry! When Rue dies *wibbles* and Katniss breaks down *wibbles some more* and District 11 revolts *more wibbling*

I liked a lot about this movie but one thing I really liked is how you felt bad for all the tributes, even the ones acting like jerks. Because, really, this isn't their fault. This is survival, and the district being jerks. It was violent but in no way did it glorify violence, and the movie portrayed that wonderfully.

John Carter. So, apparently, this didn't do well? Well, don't let box office numbers fool you. I really enjoyed this. It was fun and exciting, with something a little Star Wars-esque about it (*cough*and the lead mostly shirtless through the whole thing*cough*), and I loved the aliens.

Oh, John Carter sounds like fun, then! ;-D

And I'm seeing Hunger Games sometime. I've decided to.

You know, I was a little iffy about this year's spring-summer movies but so far it's been great :D It's been forever since I saw two movies in the same month, and I plan to see another this week (Wrath of the Titans). Then there's the Avengers, Jack the Giant Killer looks interesting, and we just saw previews for Snow White and the Huntsman which looks awesome (dare I say almost Tolkein-esq image-wise).

So much to see! *saves money like crazy*
