I've been waiting for a whole year to be able to say this, but now I can *yay* Catching Fire is amazing!
So a few weeks ago, me and my best friends decided we would try and get tickets to see Catching Fire the day it came out. We'd been fan girling for months and counting down the days, so on Thursday the 21st November we rushed to the cinema after school, bought tickets got sweets and popcorn and went in.
One word. Wow. Although it the wasn't as good as the book,( but what film is?) it was a truly superb way to spend my Thursday evening. But I do have to say we did fan girl the whole way through it (sorry to the rest of the cinema). I wont give away what happens to those who haven't yet watched it or read it, although I highly recommend you do so.
As most of you know, the film takes place in the 12 district called 'Panem'. It has mostly the same main characters, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and President Snow (a brilliantly malign Donald Sutherland) but we are soon introduced to a few new faces including Finnick (Sam Claflin), Beetee (Jeffrey Wright), and the hilariously outspoken Johanna (Jena Malone).
The sequel to the 2012 mega blockbuster, The Hunger Games, picks up right after Katniss ( and Peeta won the 74th Hunger Games. The two “lovebirds” are on victory tour going from district to district giving speeches.
After Katniss and Peeta’s defiant stance at the end of the games, she’s become a symbol for hope for people in the districts. President Snow (Donald Sutherland) blames Katniss’ victory tour for the uprising occurring in the districts across Panem.
Unable to kill Katniss, President Snow and the new game maker Plutarch (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) decide to make the 75th Annual Hunger Games a “Quarter Quell”, meaning all the tributes for the game will come from a pool of previous Hunger Games victors.
After Katniss is selected, Peeta volunteers and the two head back to the Captiol to train with Haymich (Woody Harrelson) and Effie (Elizabeth Banks) one more time.
The final 45 minutes of Catching Fire are so entertaining, it’s impossible not to like this movie. It’s got a lot of really imaginative action sequences, some good comedy, a few touching moments, and a cliff-hanger (which I'm really angry about) that’s going to make fans want tickets for Mocking jay right now.
I salute you Suzanne Collins.
