The 75th Hunger Games is coming up and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) looks to make it an especially interesting one, by cruelly putting the remaining victors back into a super advanced games, including Katniss Everdeen.
The superb cast includes: Philip Seymour Hoffman as the new head gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee. His conversations with Sutherland are superbly written, with high calibre acting, as you might expect from the two acting legends. Jennifer Lawrence is back and on the same compelling form, with another magnificent performance as Katniss Everdeen
Catching Fire is an intense, wildly entertaining movie, with well written, complex characters, who may or may not be trusted. [Who can Katniss trust, if anyone?] The landscape might be bleak (as bleak as the vicious new peacekeepers) but the movie never feels so. We root for Katniss (the Girl on Fire) begging her to rise up against her oppressors, in a quite brilliant follow-up. Each new scene more well crafted than the last.
Catching Fire takes everything great about the original and ups the ante at every turn.
The Mockingjay IS Catching Fire.
