Catching Fire, a sequel to The Hunger Games, is a continuing novel about a futuristic America called Panem. It follows a young girl named Katniss, whom was forced to go into a game where her and 23 other children had to fight to the death in an arena while the rest of the country watched. After winning the games, Katniss and her district partner, Peeta, are labeled Victors, and granted luxuries from the Capitol, the center 'government' of Panem. The novel focusses on Katniss and Peeta's lives after the games, and also more stress, anger, and rebellion from them as well as the rest of the districts. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was released in theaters on November 22nd, 2013. As a major Hunger Games fan, you can imagine the excitement running through the air when I went to see it. Overall, I was very pleased with the movie. Almost all the important details were kept true to the novel, with an exception of a few minor scenes in which I would have enjoy watching on the big screen. The new actors portrayed the characters beautifully. My only complaint was that the movie went a little too fast for my liking. I feel like if I hadn't read the books, I would be very confused with what was happening in the movie. Sometimes it felt like they were rushing the events to speed the movie up, and again, that fact made it a little confusing for a fan who hadn't read the books. I also think that a lot of the events weren't explained enough, again, making the movie more confusing than it needed to be. Overall, I immensely enjoyed watching my favorite book in The Hunger Games trilogy be brought to life, and thought it was a great film. Go see Catching Fire and join the rebellion.
