The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
PG -13 -- IMDB -- 146 min.
I'm glad that I ended up seeing this movie twice. The first time was close to the release date with my sister and brother-in-law. The second time was with when I went out to California. It's interesting to see the different reactions of the people that I saw it with.
I wondered how this movie would do because sequels can be interesting, to say the least. But I was really happy when I left the theatre. I liked how close this was to the book but it was still a little different. The only thing that bugged me was that they had Katniss kiss Gale so many times. That was for a reason. Katniss was oblivious in the books until Gale surprised her with a kiss. The books aren't about a love triangle.
I liked how everything was set up. I liked the settings and the cinematography. I thought there was always something interesting to look at.
Although the end was set up differently, it was a fun movie. I can see why the movie makers made those changes. She's the protagonist, she's the hero. She's got to be a part of the mayhem at the end somehow. It was a lot of fun to see. I recommend it.
