Action Adventure Sci-Fi Thriller. Rated PG for intense sequences of violence and action, and for some thematic material. Did you know Edit. Unfortunately, Hoffman died before the scene was filmed.

Worse than part 1. OK,it's not that part 1 was good,you actually knew it would suck,but the 2nd really grinds my gears. You have in your hands a civil war,the final battle into the heart of the capital,and you spent 2 hours of your life watching your main character taking a walk in a war zone.

And with all that time strolling,you have no character development,for none of them,just a few moments that the movie is like "Ok,from now on,that's how things are". I watched this for closure,i wish i hadn't. I didn't expected it to be a great movie,just a good action one,and it failed. For goodness sake,London has fallen had more character development than a book based quadralogy,LOTR had less walking..

FAQ 4. Is "The Hunger Games" series based on a book? Remind me of how 'Mockingjay' Part 1 ended. Details Edit. Release date November 20, United States. United States Germany Canada France. There was so much focus on details of the world and the games, that the presentation of the world seemed to take a back seat. Lawrence was the major saving grace, though even she wasn't perfect.

All of this has changed. With the games essentially taking a secondary part in the film, there is a stronger emotional connection. It helps that all the actors involved are not only a bigger part of the film but seem to be more comfortable and are much more convincing in their roles. Where the characters of Effie and Haymitch and even Gale seemed purpose driven, with little more than a role to fill, here they feel more fleshed out.

They have a greater impact and there is more of an emotional connection, from Haymitch's clear frustration between his contempt for the Capitol and his attempts to keep Katniss and Peeta alive, to Effie's attempt to keep everyone as a team and sure signs that she is struggling with the facts of Katniss and Peeta once again thrown into turmoil. The performances are the primary strength here. They do deliver on the emotion that is necessary to drive this story and don't feel like they are catering just to tweens, with the poorly written love triangle of the novel and the more trivial elements that are apart of the kind of writing that comes with novels aimed at tweens.

Catching Fire feels like a serious movie with a serious story to tell. At it's heart is Jennifer Lawrence, who seems like a completely different person here. Since the original movie, as an actor, Lawrence has had several projects and has even won an Oscar. And so, it is no surprise that she feels like she is at an entirely different level. She seems more natural as Katniss and her acting is far more convincing. She comes off as someone who is not only conflicted, but scared.

Even so, she remains strong and determined. Much like the first movie, as Katniss, she proves to be among the best of role models for young folk.

But beyond the performances, everything just feels elevated. The story has a better focus on the growing revolution that is clearly starting. The themes are more apparent and focused on.

Everything feels less obvious and more natural. Gone are introductions to this world and it's elements, replaced by a futuristic vision carried purely by it's story and characters. Even the games are better, with more exciting action, better effects, and better character interaction, helped by a cast of new characters as fellow tributes. I do seem to be gushing about the film, and it's not one I had expected to like nearly as much as I did, but I have to admit it: this was a very pleasant surprise.

My fear now is that the next films won't live up to this sequel. But, I will give them more of the benefit of the doubt, considering how much this film blew me away as far as surpassing expectations.

As I said in my review for the first film, fans will love this, and non-fans may also find themselves won over. FAQ What is a Quarter Quell? Details Edit. Release date November 22, United States.
