Watch The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Full Movie
Once again we are in a not-too-distant future dystopia where President Snow (a leonine Donald Sutherland suggestive of Aslan’s dastardly brother) rules his fascist state by fear. Every year, two teenage representatives of each outlying district are tossed into an arena and forced to fight to the death until only one survives – all for the delight of a baying TV audience.
Here last year’s victor, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen (superb Jennifer Lawrence), finds her dreams of returning to a quiet home life and sorting out her love triangle between a cute, sensitive baker (Josh Hutcherson) and a hunky miner (Liam Hemsworth) dashed.
As a reluctant symbol of a burgeoning revolution Katniss is a danger to Snow, who hurls our traumatised heroine back into his death games, this time to do a kind of super battle against previous adult victors (including pretty Brit Sam Claflin and Magda the cleaning lady from Sex And The City) as well as some slightly ‘seen it’ CGI peril such as dry ice and killer baboons.
The second part of a trilogy is inevitably a bridging story and this is not an ideal entry point for newbies. Those fans who are panting for ace archer Katniss to get back into the arena, or those who haven’t seen the first movie, may be frustrated by a talky first half that is mainly interested in intelligently exploring Katniss’s moral responsibilities and the ethics of revolution as well as media manipulation, the cult of celebrity and the politics of oppression.
Personally I found this the most compelling section. However, it’s essentially a 3 ½ star movie, raised to a 4 by Jennifer Lawrence. Officially Hollywood’s hottest property after winning the Best Actress Oscar earlier this year (Silver Linings Playbook), Lawrence’s mature, penetrating performance lifts this material to another level. Her character is wonderfully unlovable, ‘You are a strangely dislikeable person’ Woody Harrelson’s boozehound mentor tells her ‘But you have your virtues’. read more at: http://metro.co.uk/2013/11/12/the-hunger-games-catching-fire-is-a-movie-of-great-moments-rather-than-a-triumphant-whole-4183173/
