An improvement

“I wondered if 'Catching Fire' would be as good as the first 'Hunger Games' flick and to my surprise it turned out to be better!

'The Hunger Games' was a decent movie but it didn't hold a candle to the sequel! In 'Catching Fire', Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (John Hutcherson) have survived the Hunger Games but they won't kill each other and later they end up entering the 75th Hunger Games! The title 'Catching Fire' says it all, the marvellous effects of flames, the epic fight scenes, the great acting and the (slightly) more convincing story made 'Catching Fire' an improvement on the original!” read more

"I was hoping this would be better than the first because, well that's what people said, and then it turned out to be the same as the first: You only really understand it and enjoy it if you read the books. That's not what movies should be, they should be an isolated art form and not require any previous knowledge to enjoy. Flat acting and terrible pacing also make this an average dystopian fantasy. "

"Annick OTP again... love, love, love. ヾ(◍’౪`◍)ﾉﾞ♡ In fact a Annick scene is my favorite Hunger Games scene OF ALL TIMES. If it's not in the movie someone's gonna get some serious hatemail (just kidding - more or less). I wouldn't consider the following a spoiler, because it doesn't reveal anything (there's "gaps" where I have removed possible spoilers) it's just Annick love, yet I have blackened it because it is from the third book and I don't wanna receive hate - your choice: "

"Certain Capitol scenes were filmed at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis hotel, one of the hotels where the annual pop-culture/science-fiction convention Dragon*con takes place. All three of the songs Ed Sheeran submitted for the film's soundtrack were turned down."

“Now I loved the first The Hunger Games movie and I enjoyed this was too. I did however feel that this one lacked some of the spark the first movie had. It seemed like this one was a bit longer and still made the larger chunk about what happened before the games. Although I do admit that the events before the games in this one were a bit more interesting than the last one it was still kind of boring. The cast is pretty much the same with the inclusion of Philip Seymour Hoffman (R.I.P.), Jeffrey Wright, and Jena Malone. The tributes are much more unique in this one as their age range is much wider and they all have more knowledge of what to do. It also didn't have quite enough of the action I was hoping to get. Then again I am one of those who hasn't read the books so I probably don't know w” read more

"From my review: "I liked 2012's The Hunger Games. It was an entertaining and well-made film, but it also managed to be thought-provoking with some spot-on social commentary. The sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is everything the last film was, but improved even more. Which is a significant achievement, considering how good The Hunger Games was and seeing as Catching Fire is an improvement, it makes this film one of the best films from 2013 so far.

My Best & Worst Movies of 2013 (85 movies items)

"Total surprise for me. I didn't read the books. I only saw the first movie this year and thought it was fine but problematic. This movie took all of the ideas of the first and did them better. It was compelling, thrilling, and really turned me into a fan. I have to say I can't wait to see what happens next."
