Fans of this trilogy, the highly anticipated sequel based
on Suzanne Collins' best-selling novels has finally hit theaters worldwide.
This is our review of 'THE HUNGER GAMES -CATCHING FIRE-'.
By Denisse Ayala (FSR Co-founder & Editor and huge
'The Hunger Games' fan)
Before anything else, this movie promised to be
action-packed and boy did it deliver!
Everything that happened last time has changed Katniss'
lifestyle. She must now lead a life as a Hunger Games winner, meaning, she has
to go around all Districts showing how the Capitol has helped her change her
life around and, to make matters worse, she has to do it Peeta at her side and
it seems that he doesn't want to have anything to do with her. During their
trip, she begins to take notice on how people are discontent with the way
things are and how the Capitol is handling everything; people are starting to
let their minds be heard thanks to the her and the little bit of hope she has
given them with her victory.
Things back home aren't any easier. The girl with the
flamed-costumes gets a frightening visit from the Capitol and what drives her
over the edge comes when her and every other Hunger Games past-winner are
forced to get back on the arena and fight to the death to be crowned the 75th
Anniversary Edition Hunger Games Champion.
Analysis:
Something we've noticed missing in recent book-to-film
adaptations was finally present in this movie: Respect for the original
material! It's not like they told the story with commas and periods as it
happens in the novel but they kept all the best and most important parts and
even added some more action and drama. I think that makes for a worthy
adaptation.
There's A LOT of action sequences but also plenty of
moments designed to tell the story right and understandable for fans and
unfamiliar folks alike. The film's rhythm isn't tiresome nor boring which makes
for good entertainment for fans, teenagers, and everyone else.
I was also quite amazed with the improvement offered from
the first film to this one and I hope it remains so because Francis Lawrence,
the film's director, gave us a quality film and he's already working on the
saga's final two films.
As far as technical aspects go, the narrative and the
screenplay were pure gold. The movie creates interest and tension as the story
moves along. By the way, the new characters for the story matched perfectly
with the old ones.
I'm sorry for all of you who aren't fans but this film
deserved a perfect score and I'm not about to give it anything lower than that.
I am a fan of the books and I was completely satisfied; I can't ask for more,
can I? (and the ending... my gosh, I cannot wait for the next film!)
10/10
WOW Can't miss this movie!
