Redeemed!

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2013)

I gave the second movie a very high vote, because it not only patched up the errors from the first one, but even had the actors quoting many lines from the book. To make a very detailed book into a movie is very challenging, and this movie represented the second book good enough. It is all about interpretation, and this movie easily slides between back stories and issues with expertise. At first, I expected the movie to be mediocre, because they didn't really do well with the first movie (it wasn't detailed enough) but instead it seemed like the director knew that they needed to make this a good movie, because there are many fans that adore the books. Some things were changed around and aren't the same as the book. Some examples why the second movie was better: The makeup and computer graphics improved drastically, (example: Katniss and Peeta's chariot costumes did not look like they were consumed in fake fire, it looked like they had sizzling coals as their outfits. Also Katniss's wedding dress was epic.) They changed the cat Buttercup from the first movie to actually look like Prim's cat Buttercup in the second movie. (A small detail, but it was cool that they did so.) Even the acting was a step up from last time. Keep all the cast members and hope that the next movies are just as good!
