The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review
The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the second installment in the Hunger Games
Trilogy. Based on the books by author Suzanne Collins, the movie is full of
action, humor and romance.
The
movie starts with victors, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, who won the 74th
annual Hunger Games in the previous film, and are preparing for their tour of
Panem. But just because the games are over, doesn’t mean Katniss and Peeta are
out of the fire. President Snow suspects an uprising sparked from Katniss’
actions in the arena, and he comes up with a devious plan to make her pay for
it. Every 25 years brings around a Quarter Quell, which means they add a new
twist to the games. The twist for this year is that former victors will be
tossed in for drawings to be sent back into the arena.
The
movie was very well-directed, with its consistent and well-regulated scenes.
With a movie like Catching Fire, you need balance and it delivered just
that. The new arena was also very well constructed and the effects throughout
the whole movie were awe-inspiring. It was also able to inform us with light
scenes just as much as it wowed us with fast-paced action. The cast was also
amazing, with Jennifer Lawrence in the lead with co-star Josh Hutcherson.
Lawrence gives a brilliant performance, and she and Hutcherson are able to play
off of each other very well.
Another character I
enjoyed was Johanna Mason, played by Jena Malone. She was very loud and
emotional from the moment we were introduced to her, and I loved her. She had
nothing to lose and constantly spoke her mind.
Catching Fire
was an amazing movie, and left the audience in awe, wanting the third movie.
Overall, I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars and you can guarantee I’ll be
seeing Mockingjay as soon as it comes to theaters.
