I honestly have no idea what to say, other than Catching Fire was phenomenal. To be honest I was not expecting much at all. I was not a big fan of the first movie, and I did not think anybody could pick off from that and make Catching Fire good. I was wrong. Kudos to Francis Lawrence for making this movie not only true to the book, but entertaining in it's own right.
One thing I complained about last year was that the "vibe" of the movie was off. It's was too shiny for my taste. However this movie was filmed in a certain way that made you feel the pain, the gore, etc. without really seeing anything too gory. The flash of a dead rabbit or the victors gutting fish added a realistic effect to scenes.
Overall, the movie was an exceptional adaption of the books.
