Impressive, really impressive

I loved the first Hunger Games, it made me go and read all of the books. Catching Fire was my favorite book in the HG series. There was a lot I really wanted to see on-screen, and the twist was the main one. I was really satisfied with how the twist was executed, Katniss being pulled up by the ship as the arena was falling to bits was just so well done.
One of the only bad things was they did not show Haymitches game, like they did it the book, but a movie can only go for so long. The acting was superb, you don't see great acting like this these days, and Jennifer Lawrence was especially amazing, I mean she was great in the first, but this was just so great.
The thing I liked about the movie that the book did not do was, it enhanced the emotions a lot, I'm not saying the book was not like that, it is just that the movie did it better. Another thing the movie improved on was actually making Johanna likable, well for me at least. In the book I hated Johanna, I don't know why I just did, but in the movie I actually kink of liked her. Another thing I loved about this movie was the CGI was used wisely, not used for every damn thing and not used for things that would be simple to do without CG which is really rare these days.
Overall this movie was amazing, better than the first movie, it was better than the book in my opinion. Kudos to the director Francis Lawrence and the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence for this masterpiece.
