I'm waiting for your review of the movie. One of the few I will trust. ; )

I think that the movie is a very good adaptation of the book. I deliberately chose not to reread the books before seeing the film and I think that was a good call. I had enough distance that I wasn't attuned to every plot line that was tweaked or dropped.
Jennifer Lawrence does a wonderful job as Katniss and the acting in general is very good. I knew that the movie would be violent, but there's a difference between reading about violence and seeing it portrayed onscreen. The fact that it's not the over the top cartoony violence you tend to see in a major action movie makes it have more of an impact as does the fact that most of the violence affects children. It's a powerful film, but it's hard to say that you love something that's so inherently twisted. All that being said, I definitely recommend it. I'll be curious to know what you think.
