It's mainstream entertainment, but it succeeds at being riveting and deeply unsettling mainstream entertainment that casts a critical light on our current systems.

Vivid, visceral filmmaking, twisty and entertaining, with startlingly good turns by Jennifer Lawrence and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

3.5/4

The movies (gratefully) violently counteract any attempt we might make to see them as fun escapism.

Really feeling the sting of its 'part of a whole' status, 'Catching Fire' is better at blowing smoke than fanning the flames.

3/5

While it tries to cut a few corners and condense from the novel, most of this film covers some of the same training, pageantry, and anticipatory posturing that we've seen and sat through once already.

... the second film in the young adult dystopian series... improves upon the original 'The Hunger Games' in almost every way.

Smart, thrilling and a dark installment of The Hunger Games franchise

Far more entertaining than the book. It corrects some of the book loopholes, while maintaining the social criticism.

A hard movie to sit through due to how dark it can get, Catching Fire uses this to its advantage to create a compelling, tense and entertaining ride

Visually grander than the 1st installment, storywise 2 distinct "parts", the tale of a girl on fire and a baker boy continues as they (and their fellow Victors) are pulled back into the arena.
