Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2014)

Now this is how to do a sequel. It is better than the previous part in every way. Better story, better pacing, better acting, better action and way better Hunger games itself. I was very underwhelmed by the game in the first one, it actually bored me somewhat. The game in this one on the other hand was intense and enjoyable.
Story picks up from where it left off from the previous part. I loved the whole revolution vibe and its starting. There were more politics this time around and made the movie more interesting. Side characters in the movie were better, lots of new ones. Elizabeth Banks this time had a little more role and I really liked her, great acting by her in all that weird dressup. I still can't get behind the fact that rich high society folks in this series wear such GAY and weird and lame clothes.
CGI was decent, an improvement from the previous part. The whole Hunger game, about 40-45 mins of it was shot in IMAX and it was beautiful to look at in HD quality. Gotta say, IMAX scenes always stand out in HD print. Same was the case with The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises and TRON Legacy. Action scenes were enjoyably and tense sometimes. The pacing was MUCH better.
I can't wait to see where the story goes, really wanna see the revolution and stuff. Overall a great sequel.
8/10
