An Anxious Wait

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2014)

After the first release of Hunger Games, it was a long and anxious wait to see the second installement Catching Fire. Having not read the books, and to be honest at first I didn't want to as I usually love to watch the movie and see how each character is portrayed and brought to life. I gave in as the wait became too long to see the movie. The books were fantastic as I read all in 3 days. This brought my excitement forward even more to see this movie. When it came out I was ready. I wasn't sure how they were going to be able to fit so much of the book in the film, but I found they did quite a good job for so much content. The performances were again fantastic, they were honest and truthful. I would have liked to see more of the relationship between Jennifer and Josh being built at the start of the film, spending more time on this so the next happenings didn't seem as out of thin air. In all, I wasn't disappointed, thought it was great, excellent casting, great performances. Now for the next anxious wait of the third instalment.
