Okay, I guess I'm going to be giving the first mediocre opinion. I was not blown away by the movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I just think I had extremely high expectations since I heard absolutely nothing but praise about how amazing it was.

For me, I think I just missed being able to see things exactly from her point of view. I loved that about the book. For example (putting in white in case it's considered a spoiler) One thing I enjoyed in the book was her relationship with Haymitch and how it becomes a game for her to figure out how to get him to send her gifts from sponsors. I thought that was a really intriguing story line and I enjoyed reading her thoughts as she tried to rationalize everything. I also missed all of her hesitation and confusion about what to think of Peeta.

I just feel like they moved really quickly over a few things. Then again, maybe I'm just being a little too critical. I understand that when you make a book into a movie, you're going to have to make some compromises due to time restrictions and in this case, the fact that the book was written in first person.

Overall, I'd say it's definitely worth seeing and I'm still very excited for the next movies!
