The characters look even more despondent than ever, and if you thought there were few laughs in the first film, there is practically none in this. Even the brightly-lit scenes featuring cheering crowds and smiling hosts seemed dim, bleak and depressing. While enjoying the witty banter, you couldn't help but wait for the 'but...'. The feeling of doom and gloom persists from the start to the end of the film. It is not a bad thing though - it is not supposed to be a happy movie.
But in terms of story-telling, the movie still works to move from the first film and prepare for the third. The seeds of revolution have been planted and watered, and we now prepare for the maturing and harvesting. also Great costume Design By Trish Summerville(The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo ) , Production Design By Phillip Messina(Oceans 11) , Score By James Newton Howard(The Dark Knight), Screenplay By Simon Beaufoy(Slumdog Millionaire ) and Michael Arndt(Little Miss Sunshine) and Direction Francis Lawrence(SeaBiscuit) An Amazing Second Act 10/10
