All I can say is WOW! After coming out of the theatre from watching Catching Fire, I seriously think that that has to be one of the best converted book-to-movie of all time! The care that was taken to preserve the integrity of it was so much better in this one. Despite knowing what was coming, I still felt the intensity of every moment! The acting was exceptional, if not Oscar-worthy - especially from Jennifer Lawrence. You could see the raw emotion on her face and feel it inside as she struggled through the multitude of trauma and troubles. You couldn't help aching for Peeta as you realize how deep his feelings for Katniss run.
I saw this at a local theatre because I'm trying to help keep it open by supporting it, but I would love to see it anywhere! It's well worth the price of admission and the time it takes to get there, whether you're going to a major cinema complex or whether you're visiting the dollar theater at home. Either way go!
I went with a friend who hasn't read the books. She found the movie a little slow at the beginning and the fight scenes far too short - or so she says. Everything was perfectly to my liking. And I cannot imagine a better cast.
