Here it is on the mtv website.
I’m very “meh” about it overall. I know it’s just a teaser trailer, but it’s supposed to amp me up, and it didn’t really do that. I loved the first book, will reread it again soon, so I’ll admit I’m probably fanboying way too much.
I know I’ll see the movie opening night but I’ve disagreed with nearly every casting choice (Kravitz as Cinna? That is not how I pictured him).
I’m just ‘meh’ with it.
Your thoughts?
I like it.
As far as the casting, Jennifer Lawrence is perfect for Katniss and all of the rest is really secondary.
I really didn’t like it at first but I’m definitely warming up to it after the trailer.
Have you seen Winter’s Bone? I’d seen that before I started reading the Hunger Games books (still have to read Mockingjay) and I immediately pictured Lawrence as Katniss before ever hearing about her casting.
I think the filmakers’ first choice to play Haymitch, John C. Reilly, would have been a better choice than Woody Harrelson - but I think Woody will fit the role pretty well.
Elizabeth Banks is perfect for Effie. I have no opinions on the actors cast as Peeta and Gale, though I didn’t really care for either character in the book so could care less about who plays them.
I agree that Kravitz is an odd choice for Cinna - but he was great in Precious, so I’m sure he’ll do well in it.
Looks decent. I think this will work better as a movie than it did as a book for me.
I really enjoyed the books. I did not read them until some of the casting was announced, so Haymitch looked like Woody Harrelson for me. John C. Reilly could have easily pulled off the role as well. Liz Banks for Effie is perfect.
I didn’t envision Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, I saw Cinna as physically smaller, more like Prince. Kravitz has done a good job in the small roles I have seen him in and I think he will do well as Cinna.
