I liked it but of course liked the book better. I wish they hadn't tried to not include the violence because that is part of the story and shows how evil the capital is. But of course movie producers are greedy and want to have it so small children get to go to the movie when in actuality they don't have any business being at this series movies or reading the books because they are meant for an older audience. That being said I wasn't disappointed per se, I want to see it again and I hope they show more of the violence in the second movie since it doesn't involve as many children fighting.
