The much anticipated full-length trailer for "The Hunger Games" premiered yesterday on "Good Morning America" and promptly set the Internet on fire. Whether you're a huge fan of the book or not, chances are you stumbled across the clip and have an opinion about the hotly awaited film, which stars Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen, who takes her sister's place in a televised to-the-death battle in a not-too-distant dystopian future.
Pretty much everyone in the MTV Newsroom is obsessed with the bestselling book series by Suzanne Collins and can't wait to see this movie. Reaction around the Newsroom to the trailer was pretty much universally positive (and it's worth noting that we are in the business of nitpicking about all things entertainment). We were treated to a good look at some important moments from the book – from the Reaping to the tributes training for the arena – and got a glimpse of pretty much all of the important characters (is it just us, or does it seem like Elizabeth Banks is going to be perfection as Effie?).
But why trust us? Our sister over on Hollywood Crush reached out to "Hunger Games" fan groups and experts to get their thoughts on this first long form look at the film. Check out what they had to say below.
