Q:

In Mockingjay Part 2, what pods were in the book but not in the movie?

In the movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, some of the defense/ambush pods in the Capital were removed, due to the excessive violence and time consumption. Can anyone specify what type of pods were removed from the movie?

A:

The pods are as follows:

Metal darts

On the fourth morning, Soldier Leeg 2 hits a mislabeled pod. It
  doesn’t unleash a swarm of muttation gnats, which the rebels are
  prepared for, but shoots out a sunburst of metal darts. One finds her
  brain. She’s gone before the medics can reach her. Plutarch promises a
  speedy replacement.
—Mockingjay

This was omitted from the movie, presumably for reasons of gruesomeness. 
Gunfire

So today, a special block has been set aside for filming. It even has
  a couple of active pods on it. One unleashes a spray of gunfire. The
  other nets the invader and traps them for either interrogation or
  execution, depending on the captors’ preference.
—Mockingjay

This was included in the movie.
Nets
I think this was included in the movie. The net pod from the last quote seems to be the same one that got Mitchell shortly thereafter:

There’s a loud snap of a trap as the pod triggers. Four cables,
  attached to tracks on the buildings, break through the stones,
  dragging up the net that encases Mitchell. It makes no sense—how
  instantly bloodied he is—until we see the barbs sticking from the wire
  that encases him. 
—Mockingjay

Bomb/black goo

But you can see him suppressing a smile as he’s double-checking the
  next pod. Positioning the Holo to find the best light in the smoky
  air. Still facing us as his left foot steps back onto the orange
  paving stone. Triggering the bomb that blows off his legs.
—Mockingjay

This was included in the movie, though in the book it is indicated that the black goo was probably a manual trap:

“Count on it,” says Castor. “All the streets are covered by
  surveillance cameras. I bet they set off the black wave manually when
  they saw us taping the propo.”
—Mockingjay

Tracker jackers

The wave must have been enormous, with tremendous power behind it, as
  it’s affected several blocks that lie ahead. And though I tread with
  care, I think my instinct was right about its triggering other pods.
  One block is sprinkled with the golden bodies of tracker jackers. They
  must have been set free only to succumb to the fumes.
—Mockingjay

I don’t recall seeing these in the movie.
Flesh-eating rats

Empty now, of everything but us. I swing up my bow and blow up the
  first pod with an explosive arrow, which kills the nest of
  flesh-eating rats inside.
—Mockingjay

I don’t think this was included, probably for time reasons. 
Meatgrinder

When everyone’s joined me, I fire into the intersection, and the Meat
  Grinder activates. Huge mechanical teeth burst through the street and
  chew the tile to dust.
—Mockingjay

Included in the movie. 
Golden light

Two of Gale’s arrows already lie useless beside the wide shaft of
  golden light that radiates from ceiling to floor. Inside, Messalla is
  as still as a statue, poised up on the ball of one foot, head tilted
  back, held captive by the beam. I can’t tell if he’s yelling, although
  his mouth is stretched wide. We watch, utterly helpless, as the flesh
  melts off his body like candle wax.
—Mockingjay

Included in the movie. 
Purple light

As we reach the next corner, the entire block ahead of us lights up
  with a rich purple glow. We backpedal, hunker down in a stairwell, and
  squint into the light. Something’s happening to those illuminated by
  it. They’re assaulted by…what? A sound? A wave? A laser? Weapons fall
  from their hands, fingers clutch their faces, as blood sprays from all
  visible orifices—eyes, noses, mouths, ears. In less than a minute,
  everyone’s dead and the glow vanishes.
—Mockingjay

Omitted from the movie, probably for reasons of gruesomeness. 
Steam

A pod’s activated ahead of us, releasing a gush of steam that parboils
  everyone in its path, leaving the victims intestine-pink and very
  dead.
—Mockingjay

Omitted from the movie, probably for reasons of time/gruesomeness. 
Trapdoor

We stop, look around for the pod. There’s nothing. Then I feel the
  tips of my boots beginning to tilt ever so slightly. “Run!” I cry to
  Gale. There’s no time to explain, but in a few seconds the nature of
  the pod becomes clear to everyone. A seam has opened up down the
  center of the block.
—Mockingjay

Omitted, probably for reasons of time. 

So the pods that were omitted were: the metal dart pod, the tracker jacker pod, the flesh-eating rat pod, the steam pod, the purple light pod, and the trapdoor pod.
