9/10 Better than the first one, as expected.
Warning: Heavy spoilers for people who did not read the 3rd book!
It was better than the first movie on many points, especially the ones I expected it to be. But it still has some flaws, besides the obvious ones the first movie had as well.
First off, the obvious ones: Both movies fail to capture the scale of Katniss' inner stife concerning Peeta and Gale, and the influence of the home front (especially her sister and the role her mother had in the family.) I think this will severely lessen the impact of her sisters death in the final movie in 2015, just like it reduces the relationship Katniss has with her two 'boys' to a more common love triangle than it actually is.
In defence of the screen writers: it is hard to picture this strife on screen without getting long voice-over monologues, drag the movie out too much and make it boring. Since this choice was already made in the first movie, it was only logical they continued on this path for consistency.
- Secondly, the movies lose a lot of strength for people who did not read the books. This is because of the lack (or scarce amount) of background information. For non-readers this makes the basic outlines of the story a bit farfetched. (Why are there hunger games? What does the capitol wants to protect besides its own decadence? How come the districts didn't revolt earlier? These are a few questions that are easily asked, but not properly answered.)
Plot Development:
That being said, the 2nd movie manages to picture the cruelty of the capitol a lot better than the first one. This makes sense from a storyline perspective, since from this moment on Katniss gets more aware of the full scale of the oppresion in all the districts.
They stay true to the book, without getting to much attached to it. Maybe the first half (the victory tour) is a bit rushed, but that's understandable to avoid stretching out the movie too much.
Personally I think the movie needed 10-15 minutes extra to create that extra bit of (emotional) impact and explanation for a few things (like said earlier) or leave out a few scenes completely. Examples are the jabberjails in the arena or the replacement of the old peacekeeper. Also the conversation Katniss has with President Snow in her Victory Road home was too rushed, and lost its impact.
They managed to make some parts of the story even more clear, and the ending is way more satisfying than what Collins did originally. Less open-ended and more of a step-up to the next movie.
Acting:
Except for Donald Sutherland (President Snow ) I thought all the actors did a better job in the follow up movie than in the first one. It was obvious that they grew into their characters over time. Especially Elizabeth Banks (Effie) was exquisit and the faces Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) did were top notch. She might be a bit too sweet and confident for Katniss, but she pulls it off. Also new character Johanna Mason, pictured by Jena Malone, was a really good casting decision.
The actors managed to give strong emotions to their characters, while they impressively managed to avoid overacting. Something that could happen easily in this story. They also got a few whimsical lines and responses in there that will make you smile.
Visual:
CGI were great, as expected of a modern high budget movie. They did not overdo it, which is a compliment for movies with this allure nowadays, and looked realistic, sharp and terrifying. Great job especially on the subtle way how they made the poiseness mist look. The only CGI I did not enjoy was the Tsunami (so the wave ON water, not when it came out of the forest.) This felt a bit cheap.
You notice the movie is by a different director, but nothing changed dramatically. Again, he jumps from 1 situation to the other a bit fast in the first part, and convo's are a bit cramped in because of the relatively fast scenes with information. So this can feel a bit messy. To make up for this, the arena scenes are detailed and beautfull. There are some interesting peek-throughs (deep shots) that keep the direct environment visible, and even one from a first person perspective. Not a fan of some of the close-ups though, they felt a bit cut-of at times.
Oh and costumes, great costumes that is, but A LOT of costumes :P
Sound:
I didn't really get up in your face, but managed to get the theme through to you at the important parts. Since I haven't paid attention to it in particular, that's all I have to comment on it unfortunately.
Enjoyment/Overall:
Great movie to watch, just like the first one. Has a good balance between action, stories, character development and originality. Depending on what kind of movies you like, the first half could be experienced as rushed or maybe uneventful, but the second part makes up for it in both cases.
All the flaws mentioned earlier are for the most part minor flaws, and do not compromise the movie for the most viewers.
ps. There were 2 'beeps' for the f-word when I watched it in cinema. I am interested if more people had this, and if someone knows if that will be on the DVD/Blu-ray too. Usually those words ain't censored in my country.
This movie was a lot better than the first one.
The translation from book to movie was not the best, but still everything what init that was importend.
The acting again was great.
I thought this was a bit of a letdown. It's retreading the plot and structure of the first one with some minor twists added and a different ending, so its not seen as the blatant copy it actually is. By having the same structure as the first movie did, most scenes before the 1 hour mark feel like filler and most after feels like a copy of the first movie, slightly amped up. To me it felt too much like the first one, a feeling I last had watching Transformers 2 - and that is not a good thing, as I avoided the sequels. Though, to be fair, it was mostly because Transformers 2 was very annoying.
The movie felt long. Really long. I think it could have been 40 minutes shorter and it wouldn't lose any important things while actually giving it a better pacing, as the movie feels just stretched out just so it runs over two and a half hours. And because of that stretching, the ending feels like it came really quick and was over before I realized it. The ending also leaves you hanging, desperately wanting you to want to see both parts of the final movie, both being released in a November (2014 and 2015), taking the route of unnecessarily stretching out the lifespan of the movies like it's usual now.
I don't understand why they think they need to do this. The Harry Potter movies, a franchise with a similar target audience, had the two parter finale released in a span of 6 months. Even the Matrix sequels came out in the span of 6 months. Both were very successful and at least the former was beloved by most who saw them. Maybe it's because of Twilight, as its two part finale was also released in a November (2011 and 2012).
But for now, until both sequels come out on DVD/BR, I don't have any interest in seeing (or even reading) The Hunger Games in the foreseeable future.
So I watched Hunger Games 2 last week and wasn't impressed. I haven't read the books and I can only speak for the movies. The first one was good, and had me looking forward to part 2. But this movie, at 2 hours 26 minutes was looong. And not the good sort of long either. It dragged on, the story building upon and post the events from the last film. It felt anticlimactic. Probably 40 minutes in the film began to show signs of a take-off point for this particular story-arc, but for the remainder of it the movie didn't really -- for me -- take off. There were moments of action and excitement, but it got lost in the attempt to build plot, which also wasn't impressive. 6/10 for the effort. Killed my excitement for the franchise and the next film though.
I rate it "can Finnick mock my Jay?" out of ten
8.5/10 - Things are really taking off now! :)
The first movie was basically an introduction and shows that status quo while this movie starts the story of the revolution (which makes it much more interesting - I especially like the breakout from the Hunger Games dome/"prison").
I like how this movie directly builds upon the last movie but focuses on the emotions, PTSD, and helplessness / power of the Capitol.
We get to see the Victor's Village, more of the Sci-Fi technology of the Capitol (which I really like), the Mockingjay is slowly introduced as the symbol of the resistance, the military forces of the Capitol are shown, and the bigger picture becomes more clear (the last movie focused on the small part that the Tributes got to see and didn't show much of what's going on behind the scenes).
The idea of the third quarter quell and selecting the tributes from the pool of victors is interesting. It really shows the hopelessness/emotions, makes it possible to show another Hunger Game, and yet makes it something completely new with a big twist at the end.
Just a bit unbelievable that they managed to protect Katniss that well without her knowing but I guess it would be doable with some luck.
What a massive cliffhanger at the end though! "This is the revolution and you're the Mockingjay" and "District 12 is gone".
This series has a disgusting habit of killing off black people for the white hero’s pain.
One of the few times the sequel is actually better than the original. Can't believe I've been sleeping on these films. I just hope the next two keep this up.
The best part of the Hunger Games saga. The world is expanding and new interesting characters are introduced. Francis Lawrence did a great job in continuing the story and making it even more appealing. This part was definitely the one that got me really hooked on the franchise.
At first I thought this was better than the original Hunger Games movie but then it became too cliche for me. I don't know if it's something to do with the fact that the plot was kind of the same but a bit different.
Having said that, for the most part the acting is great. The sets are absolutely amazing. it's just the storyline falls slightly flat for me.
I liked it more than the first one despite the fact that we can see many similarities between them with the same events happening again (the reaping, the openig ceremonies, the training, the interviews, the games). It is interesting to see more of the districts and how people are treated badly there compared to the fabulous life in the Capitol. The new arena and its new dangers are good but some parts feel rushed like the ending and the love triangle is boring.
I love this movie! I can't count how many times I've seen it.
JOHANNA SAYING FUCK YOU TO THE CAPITOL YAS
This movie was amazing. Great adaptation of great book! The director managed to capture the struggle of Katniss and the others characters in the games! And also the fight of districts for better future.
Recommendation to everyone who love this genre to watch it!
Hey Mitch!!! Katniss peeta'd on Gale
To make this as short as possible, this movie is not as good as the first one. Now considering the first one was nothing shy of terrible it speaks worlds about how much money was wasted on making this movie look like a low-budget Sci-fi film you'd see late night on Syfy, you know, the ones with no big names and the graphics are lousy, but they make you laugh a bit because of it... I certainly hope the books of this series were not even close to as bad as the portrayal of them in these films. I understand the Twilight series was mentioned in some viewers comparisons, but clearly these movies have trouble measuring up to those atrocities. To get such a great rating I'm seeing on several sites I was hoping would be for a well put together film... unfortunately it is quite the opposite. The money loyal fans spent to ruin their Friday night is why this movie wasn't wisely cast out from all theaters worldwide. I mean casting an unattractive lead who should have used her parents money to buy some emotions instead of acting positions ruined everything about both films. The one spoiler I'll give is you have to look at her face searching for the right emotion to use in the closing seconds, ultimately depressing venture. The filmmakers should be ashamed, I know I am. If you are looking for a good book to movie setup... Fight Club.
Didn't like the first one, I loved this! Much much better, I understand why they changed the things they did comparing to the book, and it worked really well.
Prime example of the sequels. The first one was at least quite fun. Quite laughable sequences - for being so stupid. We don't even get loli. Points for the dresses tough (also hair styling and makeup kinda).
You can safely skip 1st hour - it is just a boring filler. I guess that if you really skip the first hour you can get a decent movie.
Image quality (telecine?) is crappy on bluray, probably optimized for "smart" TVs.
SO TO SUM IT UP - ONE HOUR FILLER?????!
Without the filler i guess 7/10
It's better than first part. Darker and more real. I think that is one of the best adaptation book ever, very faithul and I like that. Jen Lawrence was fabulous, but even so I don't like Katniss. Film is balanced and dymanic, narrative is convincing. Amazing music! Sometimes phatos was annoying. Team Gale!
A slay adaptation of the book :cowboy:
this is the best movie in the entire franchise, hands down. there’s just no question about it
same problem as first movie. great potential, doesn't deliver.
Although it doesn’t surpass the original, the film adds a valuable layer to The Hunger Games series. The film impressively continues the story, maintaining good effects and delivering plenty of gripping action. A worthy installment that keeps the momentum alive in this dystopian saga.
been a hot minute since i have seen it - i remember it being good
The first 30mins was boring and slow.
The rest of the movie was spot on, the pacing, the twist at the end and especially the hunger game scenes were so entertaining. The Katniss and Peeta relationship felt natural unlike the first movie but I still don’t understand why Katniss still choices to kiss Peeta when she clearly doesn’t see him that way. All the new characters were really good cast.
Okay, so this movie has literally everything: suspense, emotion, action, romance, character depth, friendship, tragedy, hope, gorgeous cinematography, mystery, sacrifice and ultimate mindfucks. It’s AMAZING!
A quick recap of the thoughts going through my mind when it came to the characters:
Finnick: I swear to god, this boy is SO FINEE. Im in love
Johanna: QUEEN. ABSOLUTE QUEEN.
Peeta: he’s like the equivalent of a small bean, supportive husband, obsessed boy and cutiepie all rolled into one.
Katniss: top tier. nothing compares.
Cinna: his death gave me serious heartbreak fr
Haymitch: our secret mastermind orchestrating everything behind the scenes
Gale: literally no one cares. gooo awaaaay
After the first "Hunger Games" film had potential but never even came close to tapping into it, "Catching Fire" is a significant improvement. The film appears to be of higher quality from the first minute, owing in part to the less shaky camera. The sets are more impressive, the characters are more interestingly written, and the action is better staged. The overarching plot also takes a leap; it's definitely about much more than "just" surviving the eponymous games. Last but not least, lead actress Jennifer Lawrence is utilized far more effectively than in the previous installment. Her acting talent is definitely on display this time. All of this contributes to "Catching Fire" being an excellent film that leaves you wanting to see the sequels.
While the pacing at times is somewhat abrupt at times--in large part due to some unnecessary hesitations by Katniss--this film excels in nearly every way that the first one didn't, while unfortunately taking the sound design down a peg. The story is far more compelling here, and there's some great worldbuilding done in the beginning that makes the rest of the film appropriately tragic, and looping us in on how bad tings are getting in the districts.
I don’t know how to put it but I feel at home in this franchise. I didnt really have a Hunger Games phase back when it first was a thing but going back and reading the books and rewatching the movies now has made this universe very personal to me. I love Katniss :two_hearts:

THE GOOD:
Catching Fire expertly continues Katniss' story, while also ramping up the tension and terror. It continues planting the seeds for the rebellion and war that becomes the main focus in the final two instalments, while also furthering the difficult relationships in the main characters’ lives.
Once again, the film allows plenty of time for the pre-game stuff to play out before moving onto the main plot. It helps the characters evolve properly before putting them in the arena.
Even though the basic plot is similar to the first film, there’s enough new material here to make the story interesting. These include great new cast additions (Plutarch, Beetee, Johanna, Finnick), an intriguing twist to the games and an overall more sinister tone.
Seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman in the part that would be his last always makes me sad.
Katniss' and Peeta’s relationship feels the most natural here when Gale is mostly left in the shadows. It’s a shame it never goes anywhere from here.
The games itself moves along at a faster pace than in the first movie, almost leaving the viewer breathless.
THE BAD:
The clock-like arena and the twist in the way the arena works isn’t presented as intriguingly here as in the novel, where the realization strikes the reader pretty hard.
The ending feels pretty rushed and doesn’t explain the resistance’s plan very well.
THE UGLY:
Also known as Survivor: Winners' Edition.
THE VERDICT:
My favourite film in the Hunger Games series is almost as good as its predecessor, offering more thrills and a bunch of loveable new characters, but also feeling like a repeat of the first film.
76% = :white_check_mark: = GOOD
Good sequel, even though having a second hunger games is a bit weird
That was a lot better than I remembered. Actually a fun watch.
Somehow even darker and more brooding than the original, which was no sunshiny walk in the park itself. Following the financial success of the first film, a lot of rough edges and awkward missteps have been ironed out in time for the next act. Most notably improved is the effects work, which had seemed just a bit too much like a video game cutscene. The new arena is convincing and beautiful, the glitz and glamor of The Capitol has been amplified appropriately, and the intricacies of the cast's showy wardrobe (which memorably underwhelmed in the first film) are far better realized.
The plot is efficient, if telegraphed and incomplete: its sudden, jolting cliffhanger (which occurs, literally, right in the middle of a sentence) left me flat, even if it is laid out in precisely the same way in the source material. Much of the primary cast spends the duration wrapped up in their own sorrow, quietly brooding over their predicament while the roles of their flashier, more PR-friendly foils have been trimmed down to mere cameos. Such concessions are understandable, as the film does run quite long as it is, but the accompanying shift in tone makes this a very redundant, single-colored ride. An improvement over the first film in many ways, but the first act really drags its feet and there's a puzzling lack of enthusiasm, energy or suspense to it all.
The premise of this movie sounds stupid ("we're going to have ANOTHER Hunger Games!!") but somehow they make it work. Again there are many narrative conveniences that actually make sense once you think about it, such as everything Plutarch does, or even the fact that there is another Hunger Games. Moves and countermoves indeed.
Catching Fire could've been the better rip-off of The Hunger Games if it wasn't actually a sequel.
The movie mostly plays exactly the same, with some minor adjustments and going for the bigger ending and story. It's easily the best in the franchise, it's a good movie, whereas THG was just a fine movie. Mockingjay part 1 and 2 aren't really movies I'd like to talk about, they're not very good in my opinion, horrible even.
Catching Fire drops us a year later, ready for another annual Hunger Games, only this time it's different. District 12's disobedience and crude remarks leaves President Snow to retaliate. Making the new games a tad more interesting, Snow's decision lets all the previously victorious tributes get a chance (through lottery) to participate in the new games.
This gives us a lot of interesting and unique characters... is what I thought, but just as in the first movies, pretty much every one of those characters die without really giving us anything. Not during the preparations and propaganda-bullshit before the games, as in the actual games. For the few we do get information about, it works, they are interesting, they are conflicted and are they there to help?
.. Well.. yes. Not a single one of them turned out to be an eventual bad guy. Not. One. There's a twist in the end, that everybody was helping Katniss to escape all along, and even the main baddy (besides Snow) turns out to be good and helping all along. Besides the new and interesting traps the arena had to offer, I never felt as if they were in any danger at all, not once, not even because of the traps. They killed off a few good guys that were helping, but they didn't do anything to make you care about them at all, and the influence those deaths had on the characters we should care about (and will show up in the next movies) dissappears quickly.
"Oh no, Mags is death! I'm sad."
"Okay, I'm good now. Let's do this shit!"
"Still secretly sad until the next scene that needs me to be sad arrives."
Anyway, whatever, the little grievances I have with this movie would take this "review" over in a heartbeat, the negative always outweighs the positive.
The movie did what the first one did, only better. That's all I could've said actually;
7 (Good)
a super film that i have ever seen
#ShiftvW8
Rented it on Google Play Movies after having like the first part a lot. I think the beginning drags a little and it takes to long until something is happing. However, the ingenious ending makes up for a lot and I cannot wait to see Mockingjay Part 1 & 2.
As a side not: Catching Fire was the first Hollywood movie in a long time that I had to watch in German because I couldn't rent it in English. And while the translations were mainly OK, some of them were just horrible. I would therefore urge the content owners to finally stop the madness of forcing Google, Apple, MS and Amazon to only stream synchronized / dubbed versions of English / American movies outside the US / UK! There is no sane reason for forbidding to stream the original tone and subtitles (in this case English) to paying customers!
one of my favorite movies
Well-paced, but had a very sad overall tone.
The beginning is a bunch of preachy, anti-government bullshit, the middle is great, better than the last movie, and the end is anti-climactic as fuck. I don't really know if I even want to see the next one after this
A tour de force, and a wonder to behold. For more, see the review:

The story to the second film in this series was potentially the biggest problem in that many of the plot elements from the original are repeated here, but by and large there are enough differences to ensure this film stands on it own as well as developing the story further. There is much more time spent here exploring the districts and the world outside of the Games themselves, and each of the repetitive plot beats are given a sufficient twist or addition to make them worthwhile. Indeed, the Games themselves probably suffer the most, with the majority of contestants barely registering outside the core group. The film also suffers from a lack of a proper ending - this may well be part of a larger story, but it leaves the audience unsatisfied with this film instead of anticipating future instalments. Despite this, the film is an excellent expansion on the world set up by the original, and Jennifer Lawrence continues to impress as the central heroine.
Superb! I'm really, really impressed at how well they stuck to the book and managed to make it work! The actors were all perfect for their parts.
If I had to name one thing wrong with it, which I hardly want to because it was so good, I would say that most of the characters' reactions were too... quick. There were several scenes where something sudden happened and everyone reacted instantaneously, which is not very realistic. But that's an almost meaningless nitpick. Excellent job with this one, I'd have to say it was better than the first, even though the first was exceptionally good.
I like this movie ♥.
I can't even.. ugh. Francis Lawrence... ARROMBOU
Beautifully compelling, and it makes me happy they're sticking to an accurate representation of Katniss from the books: she's just a clueless teenager with no concept of politics who wants to keep herself and her loved ones alive. I wasn't sure about the casting choices for Finnick O'Dair and Johanna Mason at first, but I loved them in action. I wish we'd have more time to spend with all the characters.
Much better than the fiirst one.
Awesome sequel to the first one. Can't wait for the third!
Read the book, stay away...
Much better than the first, excellent casting. Some of the effects were a little weak but kept moving at a good pace. Relationships between the characters was much improved and the threat level felt a lot higher and more real. More grown up than the first.
I should have read the reviews first and skipped the first hour.
This is for sure one of the best movies I have seen in 2013/14. Definitely on par with big movies, they also kept it very close to the book. I read all the books in September 2012 and still remember almost everything
So much better than the first one, really awesome, just waiting for mockingjay part one.
everything was so good but confusing.
story didn't told much and never got anywhere.

Maybe this kind of movie is not for me, but I was bored through 3/4 of the movie. I´ll take the original "battle royal".
definitely not as good as the first one anymore. Was going to give 7, but it's a 6 because of the shitty ending. Reminded me of the Matrix Reloaded ending, was also that bad.
wow what a big improvement! This was way better than the first film!
The performances are great, every single one brought a lot of emotion to their characters and the thing that I love the most in this film was the character development. It was great to see at what point all the characters are in the story, their emotions and their intentions.
I have to mention Jennifer Lawrence in particular because she is amazing and of course we already know that! She gives the perfect emotion to the character she doesn't even need to speak, her facial expressions can show us all of the emotions the audience need, to feel sorry for the unfortunate events that Katniss Everdeen is passing in her life, all of the anger and pain that she is suffering.
Visually is amazing with a gorgeous cinematography, set design, costume design and great CGI.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was great and I hope that the next films continue with this quality.
I have not read the book, but this movie was fantastic. It had great effects and the story was great and unpredictable. I cannot wait to see how this story concludes
Really great movie and definitely much better than the first one. And Finnick was as awesome as he's described in the books.
Awesome movie, especially compared to the first. I gave it an 8, not 9 only because of the closing shot. They definitely should have thought twice about that one - totally awkward.
That quote came to mind while watching this fantastic film.
Cold, dark, compelling, tragic and thought provoking. A beautifully told story of love, loved ones and the fight against oppression, tyranny, government control and their ever watchful eye. (Sounds like it's coming to fruition huh?). Excellent movie, I really enjoyed it from start to finish. I suggest you go now to watch it. Can't wait for the 3rd installment.
Stage designer done quite good job dealing with second arena :)
Loved it! They definitely skipped a lot of the tour, but overall it was a great representation of the book.
The entire 50 minutes of the arena scene was intense and very well done. Very close to the book in most regards.
Overall, there was a lot about this one that I liked a little more than the first. There were a lot of funny one liners here and there.
Catching Fire - 8/10
Before the Hunger Games came out, I decided I'd read the book. And I did. And I liked it. Not enough to even remotely get me excited about a second book or third book, but I liked it. It was a self contained adventure for the most part, aside from President Snow wanting to kill her, and that seriously annoying Gale/Peeta/Katniss love triangle. And then the movie came out, I felt it was incredibly enjoyable experience, but again. Didn't grip me enough to the point where I cared all that much about seeing it this time around. I think the tone is too serious in the films. I don't think Katniss is a lovable character in the slightest, and that goes a long way in determining if I'll like the film, or if I'll love it. And she doesn't propel me enough to care really. But this was a great sequel, in many ways far better than the first. Didn't read the book this time around so I can't tell how well it stuck to the book or not, but I enjoyed it.
One thing that really annoyed me was that... Nobody told Katniss the plan. She was essential to it, and they all knew it, but nobody told her. It's like they were all hoping she would just get it, and they banked on that. Was there any reason for this? It just felt like really convenient writing. Turning it into a mystery/conspiracy before the big reveal? Or was Katniss just such a bad actor that she wouldn't be able to keep their secret agenda secret for very long? Also really find any scene with Gale grating to my soul so most of the first act I really couldn't stand. I think the scene where Sena is killed was extremely well done, and I thought the old woman's sacrifice (sorry, I forget her name) was beautifully tragic.
Ultimately, I understand the draw to the films, but I don't think I'm the target demographic.
I was so worried about this movie because Catching Fire is my favorite out of the 3 books but oh my god I had nothing to worry about this was the best movie there could ever be it was perfect in every sense jesus christ I am not okay
Just watched for the second time. I have no words to describe how amazing this movie is. I'm already deciding what day I'll be watching for the third time! =]
there's no words for this movie
Just perfect. Kept to the storyline of the book to an impressive level. In some parts, specially near the end, it was clearer than the book. When the uprising in the arena began, we knew pretty well who was on Katniss's side.
One thing to love: everything. If you had any reservations concerning Jena Malone or Sam Claflin, just don't. They were perfect for their characters. The SFX are just something else. The poisonous mist had an eerie Stephen King-ish look to it. The training center was pretty good, and I don't even have words to describe the areena. Hollywood mastered action tracks eons ago, so I don't know why I'm mentioning it.
One thing to hate: fangirls. Bitches screamed and squeaked through half the fucking movie. “Omigod Sam Claflin.” “Hahaha Peeta and Finnick are kissing.” “I want Johanna Mason to murder my vagina.” Ugh, please, I didn't pay to listen to that. (Maybe I thought one or two of these things but at least I kept it to myself.) But maybe you're like me and you, too, feel a sadistic pleasure in telling people to STFU.
And if you're wondering how a mortal watched the movie one week before premiere: I'm from Brazil suckers ;-)
HELL YEAAAAA jennifer lawrence is the best! very close to the book really great. cant wait to november again.
Seriously guys, the movie is so much like the book, I love it.
There's no doubt that this is the best movie I've watched this year. I'm in love and I already want to watch it again.
Johanna was awesomeee just how i imagined her, movie was great
Best movie i watched this year

SO much better than the first part! This movie made me truly appreciate the saga for both the characters and the story. So excited about the next one!!
