I don't know... I immersed myself in YA literature of that sort for about 5 years, and the Hunger Games found me on the tail end of that kick. As such, I didn't really like it that much, but I wasn't liking a lot of YA that other people were loving around that time... so the problem is probably mine, not the books.

I mean, the Uglies series isn't really better, but I enjoyed it more. And the Hunger Games just felt derivative of it, even though they're very different. Probably because I read the Uglies about 4 years before the Hunger Games.

Nah, you're right. It wasn't nearly as good as it was hyped to be. At least not for guys.

I hadn't heard of The Hunger Games until the movie came out last year. I really enjoyed it. Sure, there are things that I probably would have done differently if I had written it. Still, it was very enjoyable to me. Certainly a much more interesting and creative premise then another bank robbery/zombie/slasher/chick flick movie that Hollywood seems to make over and over.

After seeing the first movie, I decided to check out the book. I just recently finished up reading the series. It was pretty good. Not great, but good. I enjoyed them.

For fans of the books, here is something I found on Youtube that you might think is pretty cool.

Oh ok, disregard my last post. This is cool.

Glad they put The Hunger Games on Netflix, you usually don't get such big time movies on Netflix so soon after they are released.

I'll definitely catch the next one in theaters.

That trailer doesn't really answer your question, I don't think.

It seemed like it to me, unless in that trailer they totally misrepresented what is happening in the next movie. Didn't look like we're getting the 75th Hunger Games, but the story is still following Catness or whatever her name is.

Sorta like how The Matrix continued outside of The Matrix for Neo past the first movie.

I just watched on Netflix.

So without giving too much away, do the next couple stories take place outside The Hunger Games?

Some of it takes place outside the games yes, but there are more games. The trailer doesnt even show much of the next games, if any footage at all?

New trailer. This actually looks alot better than the first film. I like that they ditched the shaky cam BS.
