Review of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) by Barney O — 09 Oct 2015
WHAT I LIKED: It delves deeper than the first, tinkering with serious themes about political control and freedom. It's great to see the excellent cast and visuals back again too.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Once the games are being played, it feels like a rather simular film to the first with fairly little to distinguish them visually, or in any way. It's also too long as a feature where the majority is spent repeating the games in simular fashion to the last one.
VERDICT: It may explore some themes, but it feels like a repetition of the last that's tinkering on the edge of a political thriller. Roll on part 3...
