4.1.5 Review

Catching Fire, the second part of The Hunger Games, is a greatly exciting movie. You have to see the first part of the movie to really understand Catching Fire. I believe that Catching Fire stayed more loyal to the book which made the movie all the more better.

Catching Fire begins with Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark returning home safly after winninh the 74th Annual Hunger Games. They must leave their loved ones and family to go on the "Victors Tour" through all the districts. Along the way there are signs that Katniss and Peeta keep seeing of an rebellion is starting. When President Snow sees this he starts to plan the 75th Annual Hunger Games, which is suppose to be a special one because its The Quarter Quell. But the way he chooses to make this one special throws everyone off.

I couldn't have asked for a better closing scene, its best way they could of concluded the movie. I really suggest going to see this movie, its rated PG-13. The movie happens to be 2 hours and 26 minutes but the pacing of the movie really complements it.
