Next year is still a few months away, but there are already a handful of exciting movies on the horizon for 2013. We've got a healthy selection of superhero movies, including the third "Iron Man" installment, as well as sequels to "Star Trek" and "The Hunger Games." There's also an intriguing samurai flick called "47 Ronin" due out next year. Our friends at Ranker wanted to know which movie was getting the most buzz from the public.
"Catching Fire," "Iron Man 3," and "47 Ronin" all came pretty close, but the sequel to last year's "Hunger Games" eked out a 3% win. It shouldn't come as a surprise, since the hype from the first movie hasn't had time to settle. It's also likely benefiting from the same force as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight": books. Whether fans read the book before or after seeing the movie, it's too late now. The hook's in deep.
Girls Love 'The Hunger Games'
"Hunger Games" isn't quite as girly as, say, "Twilight," but it does seem to attract the girls a lot more than guys. When we broke down the responses by gender, we found that female voters were more than three times as likely to pick "Catching Fire." Nearly half of them (48%) picked it compared to just 15% of males.

Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" film, there was very little interest in the sequel. At first we thought maybe the films were just spaced too far apart, and hype had died down. However, when we looked at the age breakdown we realized it was primarily young people who ignored it. Only 9% of teens were interested.

Of course, those aren't the only four films coming out in 2013. In fact, the Top Opinion wasn't a vote for any of them. It was for "Man of Steel," the long-awaited Superman movie directed by Zack Snyder of "300" and "Watchmen" fame, starring Henry Cavill.

And have some very interesting social commentary - unlike twilight! lol
I've read all the books for both (I'm a big reader) and twilight sucks and is a terrible role model for teenage girls, whereas hunger games posed some interesting questions and also looked at the complexities of love, war and integrity.
It may be a fad, but it deserves to have some fame.
looking forward to iron man and star trek
I apologize in advance for my list being super long. (I have more, these are just the things that came first to mind)
1) Butterscotch was the incorrect color (Not a big deal, but still bugged me)
2) Madge wasn't even mentioned/seen, and didn't give Katniss the Mockingjay pin, she obtained it a different way (Huge change for me)
3) Haymitch wasn't at the reaping, and wasn't seen falling off the stage. (It would have been funny to see, but not a big deal)
4) She didn't get to speak to Peeta's father, or obtain the cookies. (Again, not as big of a deal, but would have been nice to see)
5) There was no Avox girl. (The Avox story shows that people are attempting to flee the government, and that Katniss is haunted by not helping when she was younger.)
6) When Peeta admits his love for Katniss she pushes him and he cuts his hand on glass. In the movie he's fine. (They lost a bit of Katniss continually misinterpreting Peeta’s actions.)
7) The deaths went by way to fast. (Understandable, because of the movie...

7) The deaths went by way to fast. (Understandable, because of the movie time limit)
8) During the games, Katniss was suffering from dehydration for days, but during the movie when she was searching for water, she found it almost instantly.
9) In the book, Katniss meets Rue while bathing in a stream. In the movie, she meets Rue after awakening covered with leaves. Also, Rue tells her about District 11 in the book.
10) Katniss didn't go deaf during the explosion, and it didn't fully show the Capitol's futuristic healing
11) After Rue's death, Katniss didn't recieve the District 11 bread. (To me, it was a big change, because the gift gradually shows other districts coming around to Katniss’ heroism)
12) In the book, when Katniss is looking for Peeta in the stream, she yells out "Peeta!" and Peeta answers "You here to finish me off, sweetheart?", before she finds him wounded. In the movie, she just finds him camouflaged when he grabs her boot. (It would have been cute if they would have just kept it like the book)
13) n the book, Katniss mentions kissing Peeta many times to manipulate the viewing audience. In the movie, other than a quick peck on the cheek from Katniss, we only see them kiss once
14) The Wolf life Muttations were nothing like they described, or how I imagined they'd look. They didn't look like the reincarnations of the tributes, and weren't intelligent like they said in the book.
15) Peeta didn't lose his leg, like he was supposed to.
16)The movie brushed over the fact that Katniss was pretending to love Peeta, and Peeta was not. In the book Peeta was heartbroken, in the movie, he just seemed to brush it off.
12.
Oh ho ho! Go on!
