Boston Globe
Ty Burr | Nov 21, 2013
"Very few people will take in this spectacle of a society amusing itself to death, of “reality games” and the vapid media hysteria that surrounds them, and not draw a parallel to our own televised bread and circuses. At its best, “Catching Fire” is a blockbuster that bites the culture that made it." ... Read full review

"With Catching Fire, director Lawrence certainly isn't afraid to bide his time and build anticipation for the truly spectacular (and tropical-tinged) Quarter Quell, patiently reestablishing crucial relationships for maximum dramatic pay-off." ... Read full review

Catching fire is a really big improvement on the first Hunger Games, no shaky cameras first of all. Not always that we get good sequels, this middle installment of a great upcoming trilogy is fun, although gripping and violent, entertaining for everyone looking for a good time.… Expand

The movie itself is just really good, they focused a lot on both effectsThe Hunger Games was a brilliant movie, and this sequel doesn't fail. The movie itself is just really good, they focused a lot on both effects but also a good storyline, and this seems to be a perfect combo. I went to the movies with a high expectation, and the movie did not let me down. If you liked "The Hunger Games" then don't hesitate, it's worth your money. The only downside I saw, was how the movie was kind of split up, the first part was really exciting and filled with good moments, but the second half or rather last 1/3 of the movie was a bit dull compared to the rest. Don't let this stop you though, it was a very good movie and it definitely makes me want to buy it when it comes out.… Expand

The political shenanigans of the Capital in how they tired to keep the district inline was kind of more interesting than the battle royal itself. Still good, but not as strong as the first film for sure.… Expand

Catching Fire recycles everything we have already seen in the first film and adds nothing new to lay the groundwork for the future. The plotCatching Fire recycles everything we have already seen in the first film and adds nothing new to lay the groundwork for the future. The plot is as shallow as the characters and the acting suffers as a result. By the time I was halfway through, I tuned it out and instead spent the rest of the time ragging on it with my sister.… Expand
