Fantastic sequel to the first! Worth watching...

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2013)

As a huge fan of the books and of the first film, I was sceptical at first walking in to watch the second Hunger Games film in what is to be a 4 film series based on the best selling trilogy written by Suzanne Collins.
I'm extremely glad to say that the film delivered in all areas! From the effects, to the pace of the film, the acting and everything in between. The start of the film could have been a bit shorter but it was nice to get back into the mind frame that the first movie had left me in, and without the build up, the film wouldn't be anywhere near as good!
Director Francis Lawrence really delivered following on from the first film directed by Garry Ross; the acting was absolutely superb from start to finish and once again a brilliant, effortless and capturing performance from Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson and the rest of the cast. Jennifer has been on a winning streak with other great films such as Silver Linings Playbook and this film too is full of spectacular acting.
Absolutely brilliant film. Don't not see it because you don't want it to ruin the books, it's superb... I've already pre-ordered tickets to see it again, that's how good it is! :D
