The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

When I found out, director Gary Ross wasn't returning for the second movie, I was a little... concern.

Having watched it on Wednesday, a little aspect of my fear did indeed materialize, and have to add, just a smidge (no, I'm not using it in the context of We're The Millers (2013) laugh.gif)...

But once he gets his footing, the Hunger Game universe, shines, once again!!

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has never been around so many people and interesting, she had never felt more alone...

Many people had criticised Jennifer Lawrence for being "plastiky" but seriously, after watching Kristen Stewart's works, Jennifer Lawrence is a natural!! laugh.gif

She is actually quite successful in conveying Katniss isolation.

Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci) is, as usual, brilliant.

I was wondering how they could have gotten Katniss into the game again and reason was done quite logically!!

With the exception of a few, alot of the "new tributes" are not given enough "air time". For example Gloss (Alan Ritchson), like his previous character (Aquaman in Smallville) gets minimum dialogue... Can that guy even speak (apparently he can, he voices Aquaman in Justice League: The New Frontier (2008) laugh.gif ), Wiress, Female Morphling and etc.

New in intrigue tributes Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin), Beetee (Jeffrey Wright) & Johanna Mason (Jena Malone), are all flesh out and well played!

And the creme dela creme is the main object on the second movie is not even about

If you have watched the first movie and had enjoyed it, RUN don't walk, RUN TO YOUR CLOSEST CINEMA AND WATCH IT!!

If you watch the hunger games just for the games only, you will be dissapointed with Mockingjay. Catching Fire itself is not about the games anymore

Screw that - the ENTIRE SCENE of District 11 was the best I have ever seen in movies this year. If you don't feel anything while watching it, you have a very cold heart.  cry.gif

I almost cried when cinna was being beaten up n arrested just before katniss launched to the arena, right in front of her eyes.. I was so touched with the speeches n emotions shown by the lady from Capitol (her name started with F) when Katniss and Peeta had to return to the game again

the word for the first one is 'mild'. One the scale of brutality, 10 being the Extreame brutal, the first hunger games movie was to me only 1. The portrayal was unconvincing, fleeting, scratching the surface. They we're suppose to be fighting for the lives, it didn't show it for me.

In HG - catching fire, well at least the disdain look on katniss for supposedly living-it-up for charade 'in the spotlight' show was great leap over her first outing.

The did make amends in HG-CF . First one was a big joke in comparison. (Honestly) smile.gif

That sounds right. Coming from someone who has never read the books, the actual 'games' were the weakest aspects of the films. The last film should be much better if there isn't any 'hunger game' involved.

Catching fire is superb for me.

District 11 scene touched me. And and and the stare Katniss gave President Snow while her dress was catching fire is really something. You can see hate and disgust altogether in that look.

Wow...it's pretty amazing how much improvement Catching Fire did in alot of the similar scene to the first movie and the world building.

I was expecting the game itself to be the weakest aspect of the movie seeing that this second chapter won't be about be about it anymore, and boy I was glad to be wrong.

I thought second movie there will be no Hunger Games anymore... But there is.. To be honest .. when they raise the hand gesture .. it was so touching.. It like it was seen in one of the popular anime.. Natsu I think the main anime character.. Fire dragon something. I wrote some hunger game meme.. feel free to see my blog..
