The film definitely gave me Katniss/Haymitch and Katniss/Cinna feelings, which is weird since I didn't get that vibe at all in the books. But their dynamic really worked.

And yeah, I thought the arena could have been more screwed up. It could have been more awful than it was.

I don't think THG gives characters other than Katniss a huge amount of depth, especially since everything is filtered through her POV, but it's definitely an enjoyable ride.
