Alright lets get this rolling, if you saw the movie what were your thoughts and reactions to it.

Hey guys, I figured we should actually start discussing something so lets start with the movie. I saw it yesterday (friday) and thought it was good but I thought the omission of a few characters and not sticking to the original timeline set up in the book really took away from the terror and hopelessness of the production. I also thought that by omitting these items it ruined the psychology of other characters especially Katniss. Did anyone else think this or have any other thoughts about the movie?
