Share your thoughts on The Hunger Games trailer

On Monday Good Morning America premiered the movie trailer for The Hunger Games. Watch it below:


I think the movie looks amazing; I get chills (and tears in my eyes) each time I watch the trailer. I'm glad to see that the movie will be just as gritty and terrifying as the book. I also love the way the trailer was edited so that it ends with the countdown to the start of the Games. That definitely got my heart pounding. What do you think?
