The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

 
 
In Catching Fire, the second chapter in the Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) begin their first year as victors of the Hunger Games.  While performing their victor duties and obligations, they learn that there is much more going on behind the scenes as well as in each of the districts than what they are allowed to see and are being told, and that they are responsible for a lot of it. 
 
Rating:  3/5 stars
 
I enjoyed the movie, however, like with most novels turned into movies, there was some stuff missing.  Not enough that made a significant difference, as the creators did a very good job in sticking close to the book, however, it seemed that some scenes were much shorter than they should have been.  In the creator's defense though, the movie would've been 4 hours instead of the actual length of 2.5 hours if they included everything.  If you are a fan of the first movie and/or have read any of the books, I think you will enjoy this one.
