Why I Saw This Movie:
A group of
friends invited me out to the cinema with them.
The Review
The first movie was a retread of Battle Royale. This film, initially, promised to go in a
different and more interesting direction.
But then, one-third of the way through, it suddenly just started
repeating the plot from the first movie.
If The Hunger Games was a
retread of Battle Royale, then Catching Fire is a retread of The Hunger Games. And by this point the principle of
diminishing returns is really beginning to set in.
On the plus
side, it’s got a very talented cast and very slick production values, which
make it watchable.
Other Thing I Would
Talk About If I Wasn’t Limiting Myself to 100 Words
* All the plot holes
3 out of 10 Stars (No points for originality, but at least
it’s mildly entertaining.)
