Incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2015)

The first one was very good but this one blew me away! Catching Fire is my favorite book in the series and one of my favorite books ever so I had even higher hopes for this one and I was not disappointed. This one is also very faithful to the source material and that is very good. Actors are as great as always and the story is much more intense now. While Ross' directing was good in the first one and gave a more realistic feel, I prefer the new director, Francis Lawrence. Everything looks better and it feels like a much bigger thing and there are also some very good shots. The visuals are stunning and the arena part is very well done and will keep you at the edge of your seat. Some people will complain that the first half is slow, but it's really important in building up the second half. You get to know all the consequences left by the previous one and look deeper in Capitol and rebellion. The second half is when things start to really move. Rebellion becomes bigger and bigger, we meet some new characters and then it becomes non-stop action. Then there's the twist ending that will totally leave you hanging and you will really want to know what happens next. If you liked the first one, you will love this one!
