Catching Fire Movie

Warning before reading this post: SPOILER ALERT!
Read on your own risk!

Hello! 



Now Showing: Catching Fire by SM Aura

For this very LATE post, I've decided to share my thoughts about the Catching Fire film. Okay, who does NOT know about this film? Surely everyone knows about this. Catching Fire is the sequel to the movie The Hunger Games which hit theaters March of 2011. The Hunger Games movie is a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. By the time the movie was released, the books themselves have been mainstream. 

Now, after almost two years, the next movie finally hit theaters last November 22. I've reread the book just in time for the movie (as what I always do with "book movies") because I like to see how well they portray the movie from the book and believe me, I was definitely not disappointed. 

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins


First, the movie couldn't have been more similar to the book. From the scenes to the dialogues, some dialogues were even taken from the book itself! The director really knows how to please the book fans. The first movie was accurate enough and this one was even better. The effects were also amazing. The arena was how I pictured it, and the events were also how I read it in the book. I was amazed, though, that they were able to include the "Johanna strips in the elevator" part. xD 

So for the book fans who haven't seen the movie yet, you'll surely enjoy it! I know I did. And for those who have only seen the movie, you'll enjoy it as well, although I really recommend you read the book to fully appreciate it. This movie deserves two thumbs up!

If you have nothing to do this weekend, go to your nearest theaters and see Catching Fire now!
