It seems everyone really liked it. I however, was left a tad cold. The book engages you to such an extent and includes you in every step of the Hunger Game process and the movie just couldn't do that. I didn't especially love Peeta, which is a shame. I thought the actor played him a bit weaker and not as selfless or noble as he is in the books. Although, I think if I didn't read the book, I would have liked it better. It's well made, visually good, and Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland, and Stanley Tucci are perfect.I think getting the movie watcher to understand and feel everything that you do when your reading the book would have admittedly been hard, but could have been done more effectively. I felt like it didn't connect the dots in all the right places, but I still really enjoyed it. The teens in the theatre thought it was the best movie ever.
