i'm illiterate so i haven't read the book. i don't know what the premise is but judging by the title it sounds stupid.
Yes, that's precisely what it is!Is this referring to a super gritty reboot of Hungry Hungry Hippos?
I think it was a really nice adaptation... definitely among the better book-to-movie adaptations I saw. I personally recommend seeing it. It was pretty faithful to the book in all the ways that matteredThe book was fine. But any suggestions whether i should see the movie or no?
Basically, the idea is that there was a revolution, and so as punishment, every year there is a competition called the hunger games. A boy and a girl from each of the 12 "districts" are put together and the 24 of them fight to the death until one remains, the victor. The whole thing is broadcast as a sort of reality tv show.i'm illiterate so i haven't read the book. i don't know what the premise is but judging by the title it sounds stupid.

A lot of people have made that observation. The basic ideas are similar. The author claims she never heard of Battle Royale before writing the book, but who knows? lolSounds like a Westernised "Battle Royale" to me.
Its not impossible to have heard about the story, forget it but retain the idea. I know I have done that once or twice with story ideas only to scrap them when it becomes too similar.A lot of people have made that observation. The basic ideas are similar.

Indeed. Harry Potter certainly wasnt the first book about a wizarding school. Heck, it wasnt even the first one about a young boy with a redheaded best friend and a smart girl that rhymed with "Arry Otter". I don't remember the book's name, but it was by Jennifer Yolen.I take your Battle Royale and raise you The Running Man and The Most Dangerous Game.
To be fair, though, it's an old concept that countless writers have used, so there's nothing inherently wrong with these books doing it too. It all depends on what else it brings to the table.
Not when you phrase it like that, no. That's just blatant flamebait and you should be warned for it.Grow up.Watching The Hunger Games killed quite a few of my brain cells.
I cannot have an opinion that I believe the movie was terrible? You're the childish one here.

I've yet to see The Hunger Games. Read the first book and enjoyed it, though. Debating whether I should go to the theatres or just wait for a DVD rip.
