7.5/10 - I thought this would be boring to rewatch but luckily it isn't :) The 4K version on Amazon Prime video tempted me to rewatch all of the movies again. It doesn't really look like 4K (not sharp enough, too dark, too much film grain, etc.) and the intense camera shaking at the beginning is annoying but other than that the quality is fine (it's already 10 years old so obviously it cannot compete with current movies).

Anyway, IIRC this movie made the battle royale genre(?) really take off.

It's nice to have an intro film about the Hunger Games inside this movie :D

That hand gesture really gives this meaning (it's just much more powerful than applause).

Haymitch is a cool character. He starts of as a drunk mentor that is through with life and doesn't care about anything but then he really gets invested and does a good job helping them.

Cinna is super nice - since the beginning. He really seems to be a big exception form the other people of the capitol.

Kinda funny that usually no one seems to care about district 12 but they get the penthouse :D

"Make sure they remember you."
They definitely did and now everyone does :D

The slowly starting relationship between Katniss and Peeta is nice but it sucks that there's Gale as well (and he's a nice guy too).
"Well that's bad luck."

Quite unbelievable that Katniss survived being out for a couple of days while Rue cared for her - Katniss surprisingly didn't look really shocked that she was out for that long.


The "funeral" that Katniss made for Rue was really quite something! <3

Katniss and Peeta did indeed show them up at the end but WTF did they think?!? You cannot introduce that rule and then simply revoke it at the end... :o :D That was a dumb move! Sure, they only wanted to give them hope and didn't intend for both of them to survive but then they should've either scripted or rather manipulated things better or accept their failure.

PS: Caesar is also fun/entertaining.
Two victor rule revoked, wtf?!?
Showed them up
