I loved the movie! I thought they did an excellent job following the book. Of course there were a few differences, but there needs to be. The movie is 2 and a half hours long and still you wouldn't be able to fit everything in. Full of intense action The Hunger Games kept my attention throughout. I did have a problem with the movement of the camera. I have read that some were only bothered at the beginning of the movie, but I was bothered with nausea throughout the entire movie. I was sitting in the 4th row of the theater so that might have played a part in that.
