Read the book first. And remember a movie is not a book.

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2012)

There seems to be a bunch of negative reviews here on IMDb.com and they are all wrong. The book is quite good and so is the movie - you can't expect a movie a little over 2 hours long to be exactly the same as the book. It is a very good adaptation, but mostly for people who have read the book because the movie is not dumb-ed down. The wild clothing and make-up of the people of "The Capital" is a bit much visually and maybe that could have been toned down a bit, but if you understand how it came about (because you read the book) it makes sense. Because of the violence this movie is for adults only. And I'd say the movie is for (real) sci-fi fans only.
