Kind of the opposite for me, which I don't think I've ever said about a book-to-film series before.
The HG books are great for the story, but Collins isn't a particularly great writer. It is nice having a bit more insight into Katniss' head in the books, but otherwise I don't think anything is lost in the movies. In fact, the movies improve on the books in a few ways. Most notably, they are able to show events happening around Panem in real-time, rather than having Katniss hear about them on TV or whatever. Catching Fire is a really powerful film because of that -- that movie in particular blows the book away.
