Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2013)

If you have witnessed the first part of Hunger Games, the second installment of the book based on the movie proves to be an entertainer.
The movie starts off where the first installment left with Peeta and Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence) attempting a suicide pact. Having inspired rebellions in the districts, President Snow threatens Katniss to enact a drama that she is in love with Peeta in fear she might continue to inspire more rebellions against the Capitol which cannot be afforded. As Katniss fails to do this, Snow makes use of a special provision available in the 75th version of Hunger Games where the victors will be selected from the existing pool of victors. Snow wants to destroy her character forcing her to kill her friends while the world watches or perish in the game herself. Either way, Snow is slated to win.he Second half of the movie focus on the survival games as enemies becomes allies and allies turn foes ready to kill you the moment you are caught off guard.
From the director of I am Legend and Water for Elephants, Francis Lawrence , Catching Fire makes sure your entertained right from the beginning. The story is catchy along with outstanding cinematography and impressive special effects. The first half of the movie is a drag with the build up to the action that is entirely in the second half alone. Dialogues are crisp. Background score lives up to the requirements. Jennifer Lawrence steals the show by balancing emotion with action in her role. There are some very good moments in the movie as one by one, the true nature of several people is revealed.The movie ends with a clear indication of another installment.
Hunger Games:Catching Fire is definitely an improvement over the first part. Good 3.5/5
