Storyline
Twelve months after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and her partner Peeta Mellark must go on what is known as the Victor's Tour, wherein they visit all the districts, but before leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss defied him a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peeta. With both Katniss and Peeta declared the winners, it is fueling a possible uprising. He tells Katniss that while on tour she better try to make sure that she puts out the flames or else everyone she cares about will be in danger.
Reviews
"Catching Fire" fails to bring any of the creative fun of the first Battle Royale movie. This second one is pretty juvenile, coming across as mainly a trite rehash of the official BR sequel (and a bore). Jennifer Lawrence, who was captivating in the first Hunger Games, is too fine an actress to be treated to such a thoughtless and obvious rip off. I suppose we will watch the third installment in two parts just to see how BR2 turned out, but hopefully the creators will make a production that exceeds this by-the-numbers copy job. An absolutely horrible movie. Wheres's the fighting to the death? No violence, no particular plot line to follow. Very poorly made movie. The only thing that impressed me about this movie was that I managed to stay awake for the whole thing.
