It's the question to people here who are comparing this episode of THG to BR. Have you even seen the BR2 let alone comparing THG3.
I know the basic idea of the THG was lifted from the BR but that was it, why compare the third episode?
I watched the original first and still liked the the remake, though the original is better. However, I do think most thst watch the original and are bashing the remake are mostly childish fanboys. They fail to grasp that the remake happened because few English speaker (specifically Americans) even saw the original.
It's like great Swedish movie Let the right one in. Few Americans saw it so a remake was done to reach a new audience, not the same audience.
agreed!
shareI guess I use filmmaker as a very broad term. I don't know who made the decision to make it two films and I'm not holding anyone at fault. I'm just saying as a viewer it's none of my business what the studio earns off of this movie. I only care about the movie itself.

It was a decent movie. I was in awe of the body count in the first 30 minutes of the movie. It went a bit quicker than Mockingjay, and the deaths were original. Because in the first movie it was all about how they died and who killed them. There was drama in what happened and you felt a pang of sadness for each death. This time around a lot of the student's death was like a Rambo movie body count.
And for the people that say BR2 is Anti-American it kind of is, but so is Mockingjay if you think of Panem as japan. If it is Anti-American it's also Anti-Japanese. I think more to the point it focus' on more of the status quo. In the universe of this movie Japan sends random middle schoolers to fight each other to the death. So I feel this world is like ours but much more desperate and extreme. So yea, America is going to seem worse than it is. For all those people that might flame this thread. No country is perfect. There is always going to be someone that dislikes something about someone. I have heard many views on many different countries. Some love the US and move here, some hate the US and move to another country. And I think part of the point of the movie I got is that "one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter" and to best quote from the movie "6.3 Billion People...6.3 Billion Different types of freedom." Because when America was fighting for independence, we were terrorists to the British. So I feel this movie isn't Anti-American. It's Pro change.

Honestly, I saw BR slightly before the release of THG (heard about it here on IMDB when BR fans started trolling), and it was just OK -- but not good enough to interest me in watching BR2. Besides which, BR2 was reported to be inferior to BR1, as are so many sequels.

So there hasn't been any official explanation for this xerox copy?
We pay for our tickets and if it turns out to be a story we're already familiar, then tough luck?
Even that Hanging Tree song sounded like a rip from Yumiko's theme from the original..
I havent seen it!
