Good Movie if you don't like to read

I should have known better. Books seldom manage to capture what makes a book great, and for me, this is a perfect example.
Let me first say that my husband, who did not read the book, really enjoyed the movie. The effects were stunning, and the actions scenes were really exciting.
I, however, was disappointed. Character development was poor and important details of the story line were left out. The power some of Katniss' actions was totally missed in the movie adaptation. The emotional tangle of Katniss' relationships with the other characters were not investigated in the movie and I think the texture of the story suffered for it.
On the other hand, I thought the representation of the command station that was running the games in the Capitol was amazing and really impressive.
Again, if I had not read and loved the book, the movie was ok. Not really spectacular, but a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon; but a poor adaptation of powerful book.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
