I didn't like Peeta much, but I never liked Peeta much so I thought that was okay casting?
I think that there wasn't enough time to get invested in anyone. Like, the training section wasn't done well enough for us to get to know the characters.
I would have even taken a quick 'DISTRICT 1: THESE PRVILEGED DUDES' 'DISTRICT 12: COAL MINERS LOL!' type short cut intro from the TV guy would have worked for me.
I think it was just one of those movies that took what happened in the book and just lay it on screen without asking how or why. I feel this way about some of the HP novels.
