Let it Fly!

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2013)

My wife and I went to this title last night, from the start it immerses you right into the action or at least old memories from the first movie, the actors and actresses all do a fine job portraying the anguish and hardships of their given roles. We felt that the movie had an entirely different atmosphere from the first. One could only compare the capital forces to the Germans in WW2. With that said we see a different Katniss from the first, she's not just a weak scared girl anymore and for the first time you see her go on the offensive rather than defensive. Her bow skills have improved from the first but with that she now struggles with the terrors and memories from the 74th game. Peeta has grown up and you get the sense he is totally dedicated to Katniss and her survival. No hiding in the tree's or creek bed for those two in this one. You will not be disappointed by this movie; sadly the ending will leave you wanting more. I give this film a 9 stars instead of 10 only because of its ending. Enjoy!
