The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
Director: Francis Lawrence
Writers: Simon Beaufoy (screenplay), Michael Arndt (screenplay).
This was like the 1st film which i found just as enjoyable. This sequel was over long though. I like the brutality of the story without it being explicit in its imagery. It still has the same garish costumes that copy, it would seem, every extreme of fashion. The gaudy reality show Hunger Games keeps the masses from revolting and Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is still the somewhat reluctant symbol of hope.
Quote:
Katniss Everdeen: Any last advice?
Haymitch Abernathy: Stay alive.
My husband's review.
I loved this film. Found it to be better then the first Hunger Games film.
Makes me want to start reading the books!
