Catching Fire Burns Bright- a fantastic film in all aspects

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2013)

I went to see this film at the cinemas. After reading reviews, it seemed to be generally positive, however I was still skeptical. All my worries were put to rest however, when I saw it: it is fantastic!
Acting (9/10) Jennifer Lawrence was amazing as Katniss, a step up from the first film. She wasn't bad in the first film, but she is excellent in this one.
Writing/Story (9/10) I thought that the story was excellent and it was written very well (there were a few things I thought could be changed- but overall, very well written)
Set Designs/Costumes (9/10) What else can I say? Effie's costumes are crazy, but they work! The sets were kept to the theme and mood of the first film, however they managed to up the anti.
Cinematography/effects (9.5/10) Catching Fire is great for effects, not perfect, but close. A huge step up from the first film- which had CGI mutts, which I give a rating of (4/10)
Music (8.5/10) The music is something people said was not done very well, however I believe it really works. It is not perfect, however it really suited what was being seen on screen- and I loved the fact that there was music references from the first film.
I suggest going to see it at the cinemas, favourite movie of the year- however I haven't seen many.
