Catching Fire {Movie Review}

By 8:41 pm



This is just a quick review on Catching Fire I watched ages ago.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say the anticipation for this movie was really high! As soon as I knew this movie was out in the cinemas, I bolted to my phone and invited my friends to see it the very first weekend. We were so excited especially since the trailers were AMAZING! I would have to say the best trailer I have ever seen. 

When we got into the cinema it was packed and I could just tell from the vibe that these were all mostly fans who had read the books. As soon as the movie started playing there was absolute silence as everyone had their full attention on the screen, I saw not one phone screen. 

The Hunger Games movies are so accurate to the book and probably one of the best book to movie adaptations ever. They had absolutely every detail except for one scene was missing one key point which I don't think should have been left out. The one thing I appreciate of these movies is the excellent quality they do them in. I actually noticed the improvement because a lot of people were complaining about shaky cameras (although I didn't notice) in the first one. They capture everything how I imagined it in the book and I think they do the Capitol really well. The crazy outfits and my favourite one that Effie wore was the butterfly outfit. I love how she even had some on her eyelashes. 

But as amazing this movie was for some reason I got bored. The movie went for a good 3 hours and I just lost interest. It felt like they didn't spend enough time in the arena and too much time out of it. It was so good but I think because it was so accurate to the book I knew what was going to happen so I got bored. Am I the only one who thinks this?
