The score is thrilling and emotive, and there is more jeopardy and intensity, if happening quite late into the film. Generally (apart from some dodgy special effects) the production values are slicker and even more ominous, the dystopian feel as nightmarish as ought. The action is more exciting and tense and much less hindered by the hasty pacing and frenetic editing that marred the action in the first 'Hunger Games'. Jennifer Lawrence is terrific as Katniss, and she is brilliantly supported by Donald Sutherland and the late Philip Seymour Hoffmann bringing first-class villainy. Starting with the good things, most of the acting is fine. Not an awful film (neither is the first) but considering the talent and source material, there was real potential for it to be really good, and it doesn't quite do that. It underwhelms as an adaptation still, with the basic details there but in need of more depth (not as badly as with the first film though), but again it's more problematic on its own. 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is a bigger and somewhat better sequel, but also could have been much better.

Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 5 / 10 Superior sequel but never really ignited my fireĪs said with the first 'Hunger Games' film (which had its plus points but didn't do much for me), the books are fun, scary, thrilling and moving though because being so rich in detail and characterisation they are difficult to adapt. See them both and you'll see what I mean. Both present a world where the leaders want to destroy hope-and in both cases, a hero arises who somehow manages to overcome this nihilistic and fatalistic fate. Excellent acting, action and a wonderful plot make this one worth seeing.īy the way, if you are older, you might notice that there is a huge similarity between this film and the original "Rollerball". So, even with a different director, it carries on perfectly from the last. Suffice to say it's a very high quality film just like the first.
So I won't discuss the plot any further nor will I offer than in-depth a review. So what do you do when you have a symbol of hope? You destroy it-and the President orders a NEW game to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the games.and this game will return Katniss and Peeta to the arena to compete against 22 other Hunger Games winners! It sure seems like certain death!īy the time I saw this film, a zillion other people already did. All she knows is that he insists that she act happier, act like she is in love with Peeta and do NOTHING to make waves.or people she loves will die! What she doesn't know at first is that throughout the world, discontent has broken out since her victory in the games-and folks see her as a person to rally about, as she is a symbol of hope. However, the President (Donald Sutherland) is angry and exactly why, Katniss doesn't understand. Now, they are to be wined and dined and trotted out from one publicity appearance to another. The film picks up soon after Katniss and Peeta successfully survive the games.
They were angry-angry that the film ended because they really, really wanted more! When I went to see "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", the audience's reaction was very strange. Reviewed by MartinHafer 9 / 10 If you loved the first one, you'll love this one. He tells Katniss that while on tour she better try to make sure that she puts out the flames or else everyone she cares about will be in danger. With both Katniss and Peeta declared the winners, it is fueling a possible uprising. Twelve months after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and her partner Peeta Mellark must go on what is known as the Victor's Tour, wherein they visit all the districts, but before leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss defied him a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peeta.
