User blog comment:Humble Imaginations/The Hunger Games movie - Overmarketed?/@comment-4988520-20120926193433

First off, the Hunger Games is a HUGE franchise, basically the next Harry Potter. So there will be over the top marketing because it gets people excited about the movie. The goal of the movie is to make money. Marketing does that.

Second, the Hunger Games is an action movie. So it isn't really surprising that there are action figures to go along with an action movie. It's not like there are all twenty four tributes and a replica arena (even though that would be awesome). The main point of the Katniss action figure is a girl shooting a bow and arrow.

Third, there were 3 trailers. I don't know where you are getting the number 15 from.

Fourth, I don't know which supermarket you are at, but I've never seen people giving out muffins and Peeta stickers. Even if this did happen, what's the big deal?

The movie and marketing is over. I don't see the point in ranting about it now. Rant away when they market for Catching Fire.
