Overall I think they did a good adaptation of the book. I just wish it could have been longer so they could have done more of the details. I think I would have preferred had they done a mini-series instead of a movie.

In regard to what is in white:
I don't think it really matters, honestly. They can just pretend that he still has a bum leg from the cut Cato gave him and leave it at that. I was however disappointed that they didn't have the scene where Katniss is screaming his name through the glass window, but my hunch is that they downplayed the romance as much as possible so as to make her look less culpable when she switches back and forth between the boys in the next two books.
In terms of a mini-series, I think eventually that might happen. Just as I'm almost sure one will happen for Harry Potter. If there is enough interest and enough money can be made, it will occur.
I think Hollywood is also realizing how much money can be made with trilogies, especially if they're from books at such an accessible reading level. THG came in at the third largest opening weekend and it was first for a non-sequel movie. I think that the books' popularity will only grow in time and by Mockingjay part two it's going to outdo Harry Potter.
