Catching Fire

Thought I'd do another movie review for you guys again, since I had done one for 'The Hunger Games', I wouldn't be right if I didn't do one for 'Catching Fire'!

If you haven't watched the movie I would suggest not reading on as there are a few spoilers, but I do have to say I recommend the movie it defiantly keeps you on the edge of your seat.

^--- Link to the trailer

Basically the over all round up of this movie is the after math of the last Hunger Games, which then leads to bringing back all the old winners and placing them into an area to fight.
 Now as much as I loved the whole move can we skip all of that and start at the end,
that ending.

Now I don't know about you guys but I was defiantly sitting there going... "wait what?" I thought that was it when Katniss broke the area with her arrow skills; but the fact that now we don't know what has happened to Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Plutarch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) was actually helping take down the capital; 
to be honest this was a lot for me to take in as well.

Like I had said in my hunger games review, I haven't read the books yet, so this is pretty much me starting with a blank canvas. The start was pretty slow, but it sort of had to be, to show what was happening after the gap that was left off in the last movie. President Snow (Donald Sutherland) pretty much wants Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) gone for good, which leads to the new arena; which was what I was curious about how they were bringing them back, when I had saw the trailer. Each person had a different ability, which made you more concerned for Katniss and Peeta's life.

I have to say the movie pretty much hit it's climax once the area scene had started. Especially when they starting beating up Cinna (Lenny Kravitz), which I flinched and almost started screaming with Katniss; but It was more tongue-in-cheek giggles, when they had the little interviews, such as the 'famous' "elevator scene" and I giggled at the cheeky comment by Peeta about Katniss being pregant, and giving a little cheeky grin to Haymitch (Woody Harrelson).


Yes I love JLaw's face too. I'll take a little moment to gush about how adorable Josh's face is in this scene, gosh.

What I loved so much about the move is there was vast emotions portrayed (yes it's getting deep, better get the snorkels on). There was slight comedy, sadness, happiness, anger, portrayal, redemption...I could go on; but I loved how it was equally shared.

As for the acting, as well as the new comers, I loved it, spot on perfection. My love for Johanna (Jena Malone) is defiantly down to her sass, and I loved it.

Dat wink


I could go on forever rambling about how I shed a tear when Finnick lost his partner and how much the majority of the fandom screams/squeals at Katniss/Peeta's adorableness.

 
Way too many emotions going on right now, I just can't... the feels.

So on that note I give the movie a good 4 and a half stars, just because it was slightly slow at the beginning and Gale's presence almost annoys me for some reason, there's so much of Peeta, that Gale really isn't given a chance; he's just there.

Hope you liked my 'short and sweet' over all summery/review of the movie, I hadn't done one in a while, so hoped you enjoyed it! Leave your comments I'd love you hear what your thoughts are and if you want me to review another movie for you.

Thanks, till next time
