And they can be roughly summed up as "I disagree and/or disapprove of your characterization" so we should return to the standard fireworks in short order.

They did keep in a lot of silly stuff, like the "shoots squirrels in the eye" thing. Oh, and Katniss and Prim have different hair colour, eye colour, skin colour, freckles... Oh, and the fighting scenes were terrible. For a movie that was about childmurder there was a startling lack of onscreen action, maybe a few trippy flashes, then suddenly there's a fresh corpse on the ground, but thats very meh... And half the 'actual' hunger games seemed to show people sleeping ):

But it is much better than the book though (love Stanley Tucci as Caesar!) Probably since we spent less time in the madhouse that is Katniss' mind.

Agree with what the anon above said (:

The eye thing is easier to dismiss in the movie as Peeta just exaggerating, though. The violence being so minor was weird but that's possibly a rating issue - though Glimmer still managed a relatively awful death.
