    I saw it last night. I thought it was very average, lol. I should have seen 21 Jump Street instead.

    Barbaric, though.

    I saw it and thought it was average. I'm thinking of reading the books because I felt that the movie was missing a few bits regarding details/back story. Its definately not Battle Royal, thats for sure.

    I read the book years ago so was looking forward to the movie. It was okay. Book is better, but you have to keep in mind the book and movie were written for 13 year olds. You can read the book in a night (well I did). It's a fun read that is fast paced. But yeah.. you gotta put it into perspective of the age group it was written for. It got a lot of hype cause the chick that wrote twilight said it was one of her favourite books one time...

    That probably explains why everyone is comparing it to Twilight. The only similarities I found between the two was the target audience.

    Also Snowman, I just realised what your Avatar is.

    too much hype to the point of it not living up to expectations
    read through the synopsis n hv yet to watch it, but based on what friends have said gotta keep expectations at neutral

    on another note, if you're a fan of such a genre, two words: Battle Royale

    I saw it last night. It has a few good moments, but overall an average film that I wouldn't watch again. Reminded me of a few other films (Running Man etc)
