SUPERB! One of the best book adaptions ever

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2013)

I rarely consider any movie deserving of a full 10, and I'm a pretty critical viewer. Even most great movies to me are perhaps a 9 at best, as there is usually something for me to wish for, or find fault in. There is just nothing lacking here. Catching Fire is BRILLIANTLY well-done. Acting, direction, cinematography ... all flawless or close enough.
Think of it as "inspired by the book". It follows all the pertinent elements from the writing but then takes everything to the next level. It's all very believable, visceral, and real.
This is also one of those movies that is just so damn good that I'll very likely spend the money to see it a 2nd time in the theater. BRAVO! I already am very much looking forward to the next one!
