I read all the Hunger Game books and then watched the first movie. Now that the second movie (Catching Fire) is coming out, I am going back to read Hunger Games and then Catching Fire before seeing the next movie.
I forgot so much stuff in the book. There really are some beautiful points to the story that are only captured in the book!

I read it again before we saw it in theaters. My husband read it again too.

I didn't read it again but after seeing the movie last night (which was awesome!!!), I opened up the book to re-read some parts.

I definitely will NOT re-read the book before seeing the movie! I'm better off going to the movie with my limited memory of what is supposed to happen so I'm not disappointed.

@HabesBabe: 
If anything, I may re-read all the books after seeing all the movies. But I definitely won't re-read prior to watching! I have a friend that did that before seeing all the Harry Potter movies and he was ALWAYS so mad at the movie, whereas I thoroughly enjoyed them because I forgot half of what was in the books!

@T.H.O.U.: Well it's a fairly short book, I'm a fast reader, and I like long, hot baths at night

I saw it on Saturday and did not re-read the book first. I'm glad I didn't, though, because I was able to really enjoy the movie and not pick it apart because of what they left out or changed.

I retread the while series when I saw the previews for catching fire lol. I'll probably read again when previews for mockingjay come out

I reread all of them before going to the movie this weekend. I'm glad I did...there is no way I would have rememebered everything!

I reread the series and we're going to see it this weekend. Funnily enough, the second time through, I found Mockingjay more satisfying.

I didn't re-read. I liked being surprised over the things that I forgot. I loved the movie!

I read the books but never got to watch the first movie. Now with the second movie out, I really need to watch the first so I can catch the 2nd while it's still out in the theaters!

I SHOULD have re-read it - I saw the movie on Friday and I had forgotten so much. It was actually a bit embarrassing how much I had forgotten, but at least I got to be surprised like @andrea:
