The moment Catching Fire got released, I rushed into the cinema to watch it. I was waiting anxiously and as a die hard fan of the books, my expectations were very high.
From the very first scene, I was hooked! Jennifer's acting (as usual) was superb while other characters got extended roles too. I especially liked Haymitch and Plutarch Heavensbee the most (RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman)=(
The direction was outstanding, with even the seemingly most plain scenes carrying an irresistible vibe. In my opinion, the games were better portrayed here than in the first installment, and the climax was filmed so beautifully that I'm 125% sure those who have not read the book would never be able to guess what's in the store! (okay, so now I'm jealous =P)
And that last scene with Katniss turning all angry and vengeful, well, I don't have the words to describe it; Jennifer Lawrence is definitely THE best young actress around at the moment.
All in all, a very very good film, well worth watching multiple times. I conclude by highly recommending this to everyone. A bit of a request though, start with watching the first part.. You'll easily get the story then =)
Ah man, I just CAN'T wait for the next parts!!! =D
