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.

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.

It not only adds to the groundwork laid by its predecessor, but it improves on it in nearly every area.

MOTY 2013 One of the Best Hunger Games movies yet On praising for Lawrence, Hutcherson including Francis Lawrence direction very well shot during the scenes unlike what Gary Ross couldnt do in first film due shaky cameras which I'm not fan of at all. Overall its one of the best novel sequel movie of all time go watch it! And its praising for its writer from the Catching Fire book! This is one of the best one yet

I liked the first one better. This was good, too, though. Probably a better movie, just not as fun.

Não tem como a maioria das pessoas achar que este filme é melhor que o primeiro. Acho que vocês se deixaram enganar pelo final, que foi ótimo, sem dúvida, mas isso não torna este filme melhor que o primeiro.
