From where does she keep getting arrows?Marcus Fenix
Literally too long, until the games begin Nothing happens. Its like Drana, Drama, Drama..Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bla Bla Bla. And after this they made Mocking Jay Part 1, which was an absolute waste of time, caz nothing happens there either. This is when you have Content enough for 2 movies but decide to make 4, Just caz your Greedy AF and want to milk the business as much you can, Hey HG producers! Do me a favor, go and join Twilight producers in your Milion Dollar Mansions in Beverly Hills and never make anything again!Siskoid
Katniss Everdeen returns in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, second in the trilogy, as she's forced to participate in an "All-Stars" season of the Games. It's all her fault, really. Her defiance in the previous games has given the people hope that the regime could be overthrown, which has just made things worse. The third chapter is no doubt the "Revolutions" story, while this is necessarily Hunger Games "Reloaded", bringing more of the same, but I shouldn't compare it to the Matrix films that way. This sequel is much better than those, even if I can't quite call myself a fan of the franchise. It's fine, I'm just not very excited by the slow pacing. I don't just mean how long it takes the film to get to the arena (again), but that every scene seems to start a second too early and end a second too late. It's decontracted. Works for the human story, but a little slow for something that resolves with an action-oriented act. The fact she has more All-Star allies this time around means there are more people to care about, but the reality of the arena means the outside threats they face feel as random as ever. I'm not even sure they're believable in the context of what happens at the end.IreneAdler
I have to say, I didn't think I'd ever really like the Hunger Games movie series... but the first part was just good enough to make me want to see the second one.Nice sequel, entertaining story, good actors (loved Philip Seymour Hoffman - we miss you!) and an ending that makes you wanna watch the next part.
All in all, not among my absolute favorites, but really not bad... and yes, I'm going to watch the third part as well.

The first one was interesting because it was a fresh concept (apart from the Battle Royale thingie..). Catching Fire is just a load of shait put to celluloid.HyliaFischer
Just soooooo bad...stexdo
Pretty good movie, but with major elements directed towards unsophisticated viewers. Lawrence is really good and the production quality is high. The change in aspect ratio is extremely effective!aniforprez
the first one was hit and miss. this one overcomes all that and gives us an excellent show.the scared method which the first movie was filmed to hide all the violence to make it more kid friendly have been almost done away with. the violence is now almost graphic and sometimes even uncomfortable to watch. the plot has a steady buildup with a good but not overt emphasis on the brewing of the rebellion in the other districts. despite that the first half of the movie is devoted to the backstory, it doesn't feel too long and is a great character building exercise.
when the hunger games truly begin, the pace changes almost completely but manages to make this switch work because though it is jarring, this is how the character too feels. tension mounts to a climax setting it up for the sequel which promises more intrigue and secrets than is seen on the surface.
technically the movie is sound. no more shaky hide-the-violence cam, good cinematography, good score and quite good acting on everyone's part though aquaboy (i dont know the spear/trident kid's name) felt a little hammy
8/10
i'm actually curious about the books now :)

Markedly improved over the first instalment, Catching Fire is cruises comfortably throughout the film never insulting the audience's intelligence. I was skeptical given the concept of the film, but its differences to the original is what sets it apart (and an improved use of CGI and the remarkable Stanley Tucci).3.5 stars out 4

A great movie. It translates well from the books, and the movies/books are much better than the fanbase that hypes it up. Special effects are great, tension is intense and not awkward. Much better than the first film.Joker of Gotham
Not an overrated movie.I like the first but this was so much better.
Jenifer lawrence has became one of my favourite actress, the girl is fantastic in her acting, Peeta was better, the fights in the games were better, a big improvement on the first movie and I like it a lot.
4.25/5

Ignoring all the childish aspects of this production, the libertarian in me really enjoys the broader story and themes of the trilogy. I just wish they could spend less time on the love triangle and more time on the inner workings of the capital and the revolution. Alas, this one is for the kiddies and the kiddies need their kissies and melodrama.woodsmoke
I didn't read book. Films are good but one nonsense point is ruining this concept.Isn't there anything intresting in capitol than The Hunger Games ? It seems like everyone is following a killing game which is perform once in a year. TV Shows, President , people...

I'm in the minority on this one, I enjoyed the first movie more. The buildup just takes way, way too long here. I understand the need to establish a larger world beyond that of the Games themselves, especially given what is to follow in the next two (urgh) movies, but I just can't get over how boring and lifeless the first hour and a half of this film feels. On top of this, when we finally get into the Hunger Games everything feels really rushed, and, while the film still pushes the rating of PG-13 to the absolute limit, none of the action here comes close to the brutal and visceral cornucopia scene from the first movie.On the bright side they nailed the character of Finnick, who is my favourite from the books, thanks mostly to a great performance from Sam Claflin. But given the reliance of the film on the Games scenes for entertainment value and emotional impact, I think the filmmakers have a lot of work to do in order to make the next two movies even remotely workable, and I'll be shocked if they manage to pull it off. Oh well it's still a fairly entertaining watch for the most part, and it's impressively faithful to the novel, but after reading the reviews I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by the pacing of the movie.
It's all verse and no chorus.

Horrible. Although less horrible than the first one.Showing items 1 – 15 of 34
