The Hunger Games failed as a movie the same way the Harry Potter's failed as movies. They failed to make me want to read the books.

That's a fail in my personal opinion.

The movies were ok-ish, but I wouldn't want to want them again.

The Potters, at least the early ones, were empty shells of movies to me. - Will Hunting Aug 24, 10:40 1
- the Potter movies seemed more about recreating the important points of the books than telling a good story. -- nm - znufrii Aug 24, 10:42
Seems to me that's not failing "as a movie", that's failing "as an ad for the book". -- nm - Ender Aug 24, 10:39 1
