Interesting. I've read the books but haven't seen the movies yet. I'll watch the first movie before seeing Catching Fire.
I agree that the second book merely moves things along toward the climax and denouement. However, I think the biggest problem with the trilogy is that the protagonist is so hard to root for. Maybe it's part of the author's genius in giving us a protagonist we can't really like, much less love, yet we find ourselves backed into the corner of admitting that we might react and act that way in similar circumstances. Nevertheless, it's hard to love a character who is herself incapable of love.
