171. The Hunger Games - Catching Fire (2013)

April 6, 2014

Catching Fire was way better than the first Hunger Games movie. It felt less like a Battle Royale (or The Running Man) rip-off and more like its own story. You do have to see the first one for this to make sense though. After the first games the people in the districts start rebelling against the capital and the president has to rekindle their fear. He sets up a new game, the quarter quell, which sees former victors fighting each other to the death. Katniss and Peeta get thrown back in and they not only have to fight the other tributes, they have to battle their environment which includes poisonous fog, killer monkeys, blood rain, and a lot of lightning. I liked this movie much better, and it gives me hope for the next movie. I've heard it will be even better, so we'll see.
