Early Reviews Of Hunger Games Catching Fire

Thousands of Canadians are chomping at the bit for the release of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” and yesterday (November 11) marked the world premiere in London, England.

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, and the rest of the cast were all at the Odeon Leicester Square for the big event, and the excitement is already building.

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” is slated to hit theaters in Canada on November 22nd. Per the synopsis, “Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark become targets of the Capitol after their victory in the 74th Hunger Games sparks a rebellion in the Districts of Panem.”

Here is a wrap up of some of the early reviews of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Like Katniss ducking a poison-tip arrow, the keepers of Suzanne Collins’s trilogy of fantasy novels have dodged the perils of the sloppy second franchise film.

Dismiss it as a popcorn movie if you must, but at least they’ve bothered to serve it with real butter and truffle salt.

CATCHING FIRE bests THE HUNGER GAMES in every way. If the trend continues this series will be a political science fiction epic that will endure for generations.

My thoughts on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire can be summed up as such: Bigger? Yes. Better? Not really. Bonkers? Absolutely.

Catching Fire expands Suzanne Collins’ novel beyond the confines of the arena to tackle some seriously brutal truths – plugging gaps and sowing seeds for a two-part finale that will have to work hard to match its grit.

Catching Fire is another strong installment in this confident series.

A ho-hum sequel that mostly sets the stage for hopefully more scintillating future chapters.

Its themes and action sequences are more forcefully realised than they were first time round, suggesting that this series may soon be the one against which all other franchises will be judged.

Is it too soon to say I can’t wait for the next one?
Full Review 

Catching Fire is not quite a full course, more of an amuse bouche, making its mammoth audience hungry for future, meatier instalments.

It may not quite live up to the standards of its predecessor, but it far exceeds its source material.
