“I can’t stop talking about it! It was a thrilling, passionate movie that thoroughly portrayed the book. I am hoping they make more. I would love to watch another!” someone else put as their status.

“The movie was fantastic! They cut out a lot from the book,” commented Eleanor Langford, freshman. “But the actors did a great job! It was well worth the wait!”

Even students who went on the band trip to Atlanta, Georgia saw it. “It was really cool because [“The Hunger Games” is] HUGE in Atlanta. We saw a lot of people wearing shirts and going to it.  Plus, the theatre was giant so more people could see the movie. It was also really fun to get to see it in a big group with all your friends and classmates.” said Haley Zullo, freshman.
