Anyone see The Hunger Games? Is it as good as I have heard it is?

I saw it today. Considering the subject matter I was expecting a darker movie. I thought is was okay but some of the special effects and the love story kept it from being a really good movie.

Saw it last night and was pleasently surprized - script reasonably tight, acting reasonably good, special effects - soso; like why were those dog creatures so sssslllloooowwww? Don't think it will be a gangbuster like Twilight but I'm going to go get the books to read.

I'd like to see that girl give the "president" a good kick in the butt
