SO much better than the first movie!!

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2013)

SPOILERS* I felt that the scene when Katniss gets taken out of the Arena by the claw was too dragged out. Whereas scenes like the reading of the card & choosing weapons at cornucopia could have been longer. several things I don't like : waited too long to switch on their outfit during the tribute parade, Katniss didn't wear dresses during the Victory Tour, scenes where Gale and Cinna being beaten were not that impactful, the blood rain didn't soak the tributes in blood, Jabberjay scene could have been more intense, Katniss immediately knew it was a spile, they only got ONE parachute and her black mockingjay dress was a bit plain. Loved that the acting was really believable especially at the last scene when Katniss stares into the camera. there were some funny scenes and exchanges between characters. at the end of the movie, everyone in the cinema immediately started talking, a reaction i never saw before. i think that people who have read the books and feel attached to the characters would understand better what each character is going through and feel more for them. Terrific movie overall and 10000 better than the first movie, The Hunger Games. GO WATCH!
