It absolutely did not meet my expectations. I read the book and absolutely loved it, but the movie did not bring anything new or more exciting to the story. Some things were even cut out that I was hoping would be addressed in the movie. Overall, it seemed the producers slacked off on the special effects and cut corners in order to make it easier to film.
I was also surprised at how unattractive Katniss seemed. I expected her to be really hot... God what the heck am I saying.
I recommend just reading the book, and enjoying the story in its original form. Then, watch the Minecraft series on YouTube, Mindcrack Ultra Hardcore Season 3 which is basically 8 players placed in a 2000x2000 block area and they must fight until one remains. It's the same concept as the Hunger Games but filmed from the perspectives of all 8 players. You can find this series here:
