God, I so agree with you. I mean, its one thing to change a few features of a novel into a movie and to even delete a character or two for the sake of the movie's flow. Like in THG when taking out whatshername that gave Katniss the mockingjay pin and having Prim do that instead or sparing Peeta's leg in the movie unlike in the books, something like that I can do a, "Okay, whatever." No big deal and some (of these) changes are even good for the story line. But the way they COMPLETELY changed BC! They took out half the novel's characteres, changed people's deaths, killed people who didn't die for at least two more novels, glossed over important character plotlines, didn't kill people who died in the novel whose death was very crucial for another novel's plotline and added whole new story changes that completely strayed from the novel's! It was like they were completely re-inventing the novels as a movie franchise! The way they handled the movie was just shameful to the fans and no where near a book-to-film adaptation. It was more of a book to film inspiration if you ask me. When I read  the book and see the movie, it truly was a horrible film compared to it. I have no idea how they can even do the sequel without having to royally screw that one up too. Usually, I'm tolerant of Book to Movie films, but this one I just downright hated. And to think, I was so looking forward to it! It truly is a shame though. :(
