The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
After Katniss and Peeta upset the normal order of things with a dual victory at the Hunger Games, the Capitol sees them as a threat to incite revolution. Rumblings in the Districts point to rebellion, and President Snow wants Katniss and the other Hunger Games victors eliminated to restore order. Another Hunger Games competition is staged, this time using previous victors. Katniss wants no part of another brutal fight, but as she again struggles to survive, she realizes that more is at stake than she knows.
ClearPlay In Action!
There are around fifteen instances of language muted, including four religious exclamations. There is some violence that is skipped, though the plot is easy to follow. The movie has a dark tone, but with filters, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire would be appropriate for teens and up.
Should I Catch Catching Fire?...
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite some time. It features an expertly blended mix of drama, action, and intrigue that will satisfy fans of the series and newcomers alike. Jennifer Lawrence gives an emotional performance as Katniss Everdeen in a story that is gritty and gripping. Add to this wonderful cinematography and design, and you’ve got a winner.
