The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
3/5
Much improved from the first film, it is very close to the book, with good adaptation choices. Performances are also improved, with Jennifer Lawrence playing a more convincing Katniss. Pace was also good, and while audiences may be disappointed that the games themselves don't dominate screen time, it nicely reflects the book experience and focuses on the interesting themes. Having said that, there was a lot of plot holes and silliness, some of which can be faulted with the book. Overall a very enjoyable watch and only sappy a few times.
