I haven't seen the movie yet but I have read the books. It depends on your aunt. To dumb down the plot...The Hunger Games books are about a group of kids killing each other until only one is left standing. I am sure there will be violence but there shouldn't be nudity. Also I am sure this is PG 13 because the PTB want the audience of young adults, who the books are aimed for, to flock the theaters so I am sure the violence will not be too graphic.

They say that Suzzane Collins (author) used ninja moves and copy the novel of BR :) well...im still hype to see the movie

I have seen it. and it is defently worth watching it. I havent red the books but it looked very interesting that maybe now ill red the books :D if you haven't seen it then u must see it. Its just a must, the plot the characters everything was just amazing. I enjoyed it alot :P

Actually he's the one who got me interested in watching the movie and reading book two and maybe three.
Fact is I've never been supportive of Katniss' and his relationship and imagined him to be a chubby, little boy who resembles a flour sack.
Josh Hutcherson isn't exactly my type, either but he awakened my interest in the rest of the story. :p

Man I'm really looking forward to the movie, and hopefully any upcoming sequels that are sure to come. I have the weirdest love/hate relationship with the books. In the first one I didn't notice anything wrong, but in the last two....eugh. I just grew to hate Katniss and the creepy love triangle so much. I've decided the biggest problem is Katniss is just the worst narrator ever. People who call her a brave, inspiring heroine confuse me. All I saw was people fawning over a super confused girl who had a talent for rolling with whatever people told her to do. I kind of feel like The Hunger Games will translate better for me as a movie, so I'm not in that awful female's head.

I actually felt the same way at first, but he said or did something- I don't remember what, that just clicked in the trailer. It sounded JUST like Peeta to me. So just for that I'm willing to give him a chance, and I think he'll do a good job. xD I'm not overly concerned about him though. I'll just repeat that I found the love triangle to be the creepiest thing ever and leave it at that. Now if they screw up Finnick or Joanna in the sequels, we'll have issues.
