Vivid, visceral filmmaking, twisty and entertaining, with startlingly good turns by Jennifer Lawrence and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Whereas "The Hunger Games" made for some interesting political commentary, "Catching Fire" is content to rest on its laurels, adding nothing to the conversation.

The movies (gratefully) violently counteract any attempt we might make to see them as fun escapism.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is much of the same: lots of standing around and talking without much in the way of flair or excitement.

Just as good a film as its predecessor, and a must-see chapter in this terrific and terrifying story.

Now the violence is not merely physical, but existential. Far from having won her freedom as promised, Katniss is now imprisoned in a false public narrative-supporter of the Capitol, lover of Peeta-from which she may never escape.

Every returning detail of The Hunger Games is expanded and expounded in Catching Fire, and there is an unusual layering of the film's ambitions.

This is Empire Strikes Back stuff. It has that second Star Wars movie's kick of confidence.

Catching Fire delivers on the grim, roiling promises of the original.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire takes the narrative and thematic liberties traditionally granted the middle chapter in a trilogy and drives the stakes up sharply.
November 22, 2013
The budget is nearly twice the original, and it shows. Great work from the A-list cast, amazing set designs and costumes.

Director Francis Lawrence's film runs nearly two-and-a-half hours but it concludes so abruptly and tantalizingly, it leaves you wanting more.
