I love this movie. The camerawork is phenomenal, there are so many great moments and twists that are actually really faithful to the book, the music and sound design are amazing, the actors are great, and they truly manage to capture the absolute despair, fear, casual disregard for human (childrens'!) life, and the spark that lights the fire that will burn the Capitol down (to borrow a phrase). Sure, there's some moments where the coincidences are a bit convenient, but a. I, personally, can give some leeway for this considering it's a story, after all, and b. many of those cases are in the arena where it actually makes sense for things to play out in a narratively convenient way (such as the dogs killing Thresh so that the 12s don't have to) because, after all, the arena is controlled by people who are literally only there to make the show interesting.
