If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A new hunger game. Obviously, things that were secretly spinning were not really revealed. Filmin was fine. It was very nice in the dramatic events that happened here. The new characters were not bad either. Apart from that, it was nice and fluent.

I watched this movie after reading the books, if that adds anything.This is a solid movie, better than the first. It does everything pretty well, from characters to special effects, wich plenty of memorable scenes splattered in. The special effects look fine, and the characters are mostly likable, bar a few. Everything is recreated pretty faithfully from the book, and it works because of this. If they went their own route, this movie would certainly be worse.The music is forgettable and uninspired. I really can't remember any track besides the unecesarry song in the credits. The sound design is passable, but does fail a lot. You'd expect more from a movie like this, and the sound design is really the big failure here.Jennifer Lawrance does a good job in this film, but I'm sad to say that it is not the same for everyone else. The acting as a whole is quite poor, and it sadly makes a lot of scenes unconvincing and much less tense than they should be.The action in this is alright. It works for a movie like this, and is kind of tense. You'll probably enjoy it. The choreography, where there is any, is good and the set design is fun.All in all, you'll enjoy this movie, but don't expect a cinematic masterpiece. If I could give it a 6.5, I would.

After watching The Hunger Games Catching Fire Movie a few things come to mind :1) Ahhhh Jennifer Lawrence ( still drooling from the first film) 2) I see Woody Harrelson is still doing his best impersonation of Woody Harrelson 3) You see guys ? 'nice guys can get the girl ' .... at least until part 3 4) Poor Peta , dude be taking so much shit for Katniss ... He gets cut , electrocuted , almost drowns , attacked by killer monkeys , gets kidnapped .... WTF else is he supposed to do for her ? 5) Should be aptly titled 'Catching Peta' 6) Is like every dude in this movie super handsome ? 7) Damn , I better get my ass to the gym 8 ) Probably one of the best sequels ever released 9) Bigger and better than the first

The Hunger Games was great. Catching Fire is a masterpiece. Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant as Katniss, and Josh Hutcherson is great as Peeta. This film is a large improvement over it's predecessor, with less shaky can, and more scenes in District 12. They also toned down the love triangle, which is great. The addition of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's Plutarch Heavensbee is great, and the story-line is good as well. The Games were portrayed very well, and the action was pulse-pounding. However, the Careers were much less of a threat than in the first film, and Katniss doesn't do hand-to-hand combat at all. Those are the only bad stuff I can think of, since the film was great, and there wasn't a single dull moment in it. All the new tributes were interesting, especially Finnick, Johanna and Beetee. This film is great, and is a must-watch.
