Movie #835 "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" was another winner for the franchise ----- I was worried because this book was the least favorite to me of the 3 in the series. It was bogged down with a bunch of victors in the tour that we were expected to know, and district people that we met on every stop, and games that were being controlled very intricately in a clock shape fashion.........very tough to picture, but it worked much better in the film, when we didn't get to know all the victors, hardly visited any of the districts, and it's so much easier to see the tragedies that are thrown their way in the games. The movie's pace is well handled, and it was fun to see the "regulars" (Banks, Harrelson, Kravitz) mixed with some new people --- like Jenna Malone, and Jeffrey Wright and the great Amanda Plummer. The movie has a little bit of everything for everyone, so I really think most people would find it quite entertaining. I would recommend it and say it is every bit as good as the first one, if not better.
