I think my favorite parts about it were Woody Harelson and Lenny Kravitzs characters. They were both basically mentors for Katniss. Hopefully they expand on those characters because they were great.
Hated the shaky cam work. WTF? Maybe they were trying to disguise the violence to get a PG13?
I'm still amazed that a book series and movie about kids trying to kill each other became this huge pop culture event. Heh.

Geh. My wife made me watch this after she read the books. You could tell it was made for teeny boppers. For as vicious and violent as the event would have to be, there wasn't much violence. At all.
probably not a spoiler, but I wouldn't want to wound any vaginas.
Harrelson is always typecast, but he does it so damn well it is hilarious.
Overall, the story is just not very believable, the action was meh, and there were several parts of the movie that were part of the books but were WTF moments without that explanation are just out of place.
Jennifer Lawrence is epic hot and played the part well. The other kid, Peter, I think did OK. The rest were meh.
It was just overall a bad movie. But it was better than I was expecting.
