The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailers

Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.

Reviews
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
nate-car I recently watched all four movies in a row, after watching them separately over the years... just in case I was missing something by not investing in the famous story and the entire epic as a whole. I now can't say I didn't try... Drab and depressing, I found all four Hunger Games movies missing almost all elements to make it memorable, enjoyable, fun, exciting, clever or 'epic' in any way. The concept from the get go made very little sense, the fictional world was not very well designed, and the rules of the universe weak and flimsy. I liked some of the cast and have been fans of several for years, but each character was hollow with very little true motivation, and the arks of their characters rarely moved beyond their first introduction. I actually lowered my stars scores after binge watching the series, because it seemed like a waste of time and the only thing it clearly indicated is, on my own personal scale '2 stars' means- "an ordinary movie that I don't want to and could not be easily convinced to ever watch again...". Which I have now given all four films.
cellsbellsian I watched this movie after reading the books, if that adds anything.This is a solid movie, better than the first. It does everything pretty well, from characters to special effects, wich plenty of memorable scenes splattered in. The special effects look fine, and the characters are mostly likable, bar a few. Everything is recreated pretty faithfully from the book, and it works because of this. If they went their own route, this movie would certainly be worse.The music is forgettable and uninspired. I really can't remember any track besides the unecesarry song in the credits. The sound design is passable, but does fail a lot. You'd expect more from a movie like this, and the sound design is really the big failure here.Jennifer Lawrance does a good job in this film, but I'm sad to say that it is not the same for everyone else. The acting as a whole is quite poor, and it sadly makes a lot of scenes unconvincing and much less tense than they should be.The action in this is alright. It works for a movie like this, and is kind of tense. You'll probably enjoy it. The choreography, where there is any, is good and the set design is fun.All in all, you'll enjoy this movie, but don't expect a cinematic masterpiece. If I could give it a 6.5, I would.
snperera This is such an intense and emotional ride and you better get on. The reason this is my favorite is because I believe Katniss has developed so much in this movie as a character. Spoiler Warning: She ends up having to go to the hunger games again. And when she does she shows that she will not let the Capital defeat her, no matter how many times she gets knocked down. I love the relationship between her and Peeta. He was always my favorite and he develops as a character as well. Spoiler Warning: I love the new addition of the character Finnick and he firsts seems like an enemy but than he turns out to be a good guy. This is such an action packed movie and it has a lot of heart. Really love this movie!
matrixpolaris The Hunger Games was great. Catching Fire is a masterpiece. Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant as Katniss, and Josh Hutcherson is great as Peeta. This film is a large improvement over it's predecessor, with less shaky can, and more scenes in District 12. They also toned down the love triangle, which is great. The addition of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's Plutarch Heavensbee is great, and the story-line is good as well. The Games were portrayed very well, and the action was pulse-pounding. However, the Careers were much less of a threat than in the first film, and Katniss doesn't do hand-to-hand combat at all. Those are the only bad stuff I can think of, since the film was great, and there wasn't a single dull moment in it. All the new tributes were interesting, especially Finnick, Johanna and Beetee. This film is great, and is a must-watch.
