this is different from the hunger games. it has a different story. its about a divided society. the hunger games was about killing each other, this about adaption and finding your place in society, literally. it is fun action packed and has a better story {although not fully explained} is a fun ride that doesn't rely on melodrama for emotional effects. the hunger games films were good in there own right, so are these. so don't compare. they have totally different aspects and way it goes about things, it does what it wants, like the character in the film. these are simply fun and aren't supposed to live up to the hunger games, it was made to cash in yes, but it was also made to bring another brilliant story to the screen.

I see one review that simply bashed this movie for having vampires and magic. So that must pertain to twilight and harry potter right? No. This movie is a combination of underworld (slightly) and mean girls. I've read the novel and it was the exact same way. The thing is this movie was destined to follow twilight, and to be honest if twilight never came out this would be better anticipated. Anything nowadays has to live up to the sh*t that is twilight. Twilight was moody and had a message that having a boyfriend is most important while this one is simply have fun and be yourself. People always will compare vampire movies to twilight, and thats simply blasphemous. You go into this movie wanting to find deep meaningful messages and symbolism, you won't find it. Go into this movie with an open mind and ready to have fun you'll enjoy yourself immensely. This is simply a movie to have fun, that is ALL!!!
