So I'll go right into the review and my opinions on the picture. I won't go into details about the plot of the movie, some fellow reviewers already did it probably better than I'll ever do and the chances you're familiar with it are high. I was welcomed with an excellent surprise: the movie followed the events of the novel whenever possible and brilliantly so, while managing to keep me on the edge of my seat, even though I knew what was going to happen the entire time. With that in mind, I kept my excitement in close watch with Catching Fire and went expecting a good movie and nothing more. It was not an horrible movie, at all, but it was not very faithful to the book and lacked the impact I found in the novel. I really liked the trilogy, and when I watched the first adaptation, I was disappointed with some aspects and routes they went with it. When I first read the books, I thought that they were not only incredibly addicting and fun, but also with an important message for the youngsters (and every other person, age is not important) who read it, and that made it different from some of the other uninteresting YA books around. I was lucky enough to be able to watch the movie one week early, since it opened here in Brazil one week before the release in the US, and I must tell you this fellow The Hunger Games fans, even though my English is not even that good: Catching Fire is a GREAT experience, and one that improves over the first film in nearly every possible level.
