Alright, I walked into the theater with the full intention of laughing to death at Haymitch Abernathy's (Woody Harrelson) funny and rude remarks however was sadly disappointed when I discovered he was barely in the film. The focus was taken away from the following four things that I noticed:
1) No story about Avox's
2) District 11 Bread to Katniss
3) Lack-Of-Haymitch
4) No focus on "Prep Team"

Let me explain number 4, Cinna's prep team is non-existent essentially. We don't meet them personally at all.
Also, I felt the film tried to be too kid friendly. I was hoping for some Battle Royal action going on but was let down with A thrown knife and shaking camera that while the camera shook would end up in the actor. I wish the budget and gore of the film went up. Other than that everything was nice, I enjoyed the focus on President Snow and overall I rate this move 4/5 stars.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
