After a much-anticipated year and a half wait, I finally saw Catching Fire this morning. Catching Fire centers around Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, two victors who won in the same year, by almost committing suicide to save each other. Since their victory, an uprising has started and the districts are fighting back. The next Hunger Games marks the 75th anniversary, or a Quarter Quell, where two tributes were to be pulled from the existing victor's ballot. Katniss and Peeta were chosen again, since the Capitol wants her image to be destroyed in the right way.
Overall, Catching Fire was great. It was fast-paced and kept the audience on the edge of their seat. Finnick's part was played amazingly, with the energy that had fans heart's stolen. Mags' bravery took my heart as she walked into the fog. Her smile and laugh had kept the audience smiling. Wiress and Beetee had the most tech-savvy minds a human being could ever have. Their cunning and graceful skills had the audience biting their teeth. Brutus and Enobaria were gladiators the entire movie. Their strong skills had built the foundation for the most suspenseful parts of the entire movie. Last but not least, Johanna Mason had the attitude that took the laughter out of the movie. She even stripped down in front of a 40 year old!.
I must say, the movie was paced meticulously, and the acting was better. I think that Mags, Brutus, and Enobaria should've at least talked once, since we never heard them talk. On top of that, I rate Catching Fire a 10. At the ending, the mockingjay from the front cover of the first book turns into the mockingjay from the second one, and then turns into a mockingjay from the last book. Judging from this, the sequels will be more exciting and more suspenseful. Hunger Games fans, we wait once more for Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2, in November 2014, and November 2015.
