Lacked intensity and character development

I was disappointed that the character development was so poor. While I understand that the majority of thee audience had probably read the book, like I did, it still would have been nice to feel more for each of the individual tributes, Gale, and learn more about the Districts.
The intensity in the arena wasn't up to par with the way I felt while reading the book. I guess since it was pg-13?? Finally, I didn't understand some of the plot changes. What about Madge?
Some things I did like... Jennifer Lawrence is a great Katniss. The Capital city looked and felt like high society (it would have been nice to see/feel more of the tributes' reactions to the lavishness and wastefulness of the Capital). I also liked that the arena itself looked like it was described in the book.
My husband, who hasn't read the book, enjoyed the movie more than I did. But there were quite a few things he didn't understand (the number of times each child's name was entered in the reaping, the hatred towards the Capital...he said he felt oppression but nothing more...and the team that Katniss had helping her, just to name a few. He would also have liked to know more about the districts and their tributes.)
I will admit to being curious to see how the next couple movies are handled. I hope to see some more thoughtfulness about the feelings of the population of PanAm.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
