The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a well worthy follow-up to its predecessor

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2013)

Well, it's been more than a year since I saw The Hunger Games and really enjoyed it so when I watched this sequel with my movie theatre-working friend (who had seen it twice before and liked it), I was very glad I did! The stakes are higher this time as Katniss' actions in the previous one and her actions here really put Donald Sutherland's character in a bind he desperately wants to get out of. And Jennifer Lawrence is once again fine as the conflicted heroine who tries to survive against the madness she constantly has to deal with. This is modern epic storytelling at its finest with some of the best casting I've seen for a movie in recent years, that's for sure! So on that note, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is well worth the time!
