First, from the obsessive fan side of me – wow. I’m quite literally blown away by how well the imagery matches what I’ve been picturing all along. Then, Lionsgate takes it one step further by pinpointing the perfect assortment of scenes to both appeal to the hardcore fans and provide newcomers with just enough information to feel as though they can now have one foot in the door without knowing too much.
[...On the technical front, the trailer is impeccable. Not only is the editing quite slick, but the score does a fantastic job at nailing the film’s tone.]

Movies.com: The Fans Weigh In on ‘The Hunger Games’ Trailer
We absolutely loved the trailer! It touched on the major points of The Hunger Games, the reaping, the Capitol itself, the ‘fire dress,’ the start of a rebellion with the three-finger salute, the drive for survival and the countdown to the start off the games. The Reaping was perfectly grim and eerie, and a wonderful contrast to the colorful and vibrant Effie who gives us a taste of what we will fully see at the Capitol. We really wanted to see the Cornucopia, but we must leave something for the theatrical release! We felt the trailer was able to deliver the plotline without giving too much away, so we believe it was a success!
