➳Cathing Fire (Movie Review)➳

*Please read with caution! Spoilers ahead!*

I'm again sorry for delaying all my reviews but they will soon be up just stay patient. As we left off in the first movie Katniss and Peeta are the current victors of the last games and they return home to find that some things have changed. Such as being put back into the arena and creating a new strategy in the games. I found that it was hard to rank this movie because the movie adaptation is so close to the book but of course there are a few details that they didn't include. Such as the two escapees from District 8 stating their theory about District 13 and while Katniss is about to eat dinner with the mayor but views the uprising in District 8 before the dinner. These scenes are replaced by Katniss walking past the control room in the train they are on and views the uprising. Lastly when Katniss is dancing with the new game maker, he reveals a clue about the games which is a clock with a mockingjay and it wasn't included but the movie played it out with Wiress giving her a clue. Besides the fact that they didn't include these little details doesn't make it a bad movie. The entire cast was wonderful to watch and they did an outstanding job of playing their roles. Especially those who were returning to their roles. Compared to the first movie, I felt that the cinema photography changed in coloring by using brighter colors but keeping it dark so it could depict the storyline was real. As I have said before it is hard to rank this movie but based on what I have seen and known, I would rank this movie with the highest value, which is a solid 5 out 5 stars. Since I give this movie a high ranking value I expect the next movie to be as great as this one. I also anticipate the next to stay true to the book as well as continue where the last book and movie left off. I have high hopes for the next! Until then, be sure to follow me for more reviews.

➳Catching Fire (Book Review)➳

Since the movie adaptation of Catching Fire is going to release in a couple of days I decided to take this opportunity of reviewing this book before the movie comes out. As we know the two victors from the games come back and return home to District 12. The day that Katniss and Peeta are to start their victory tour is when Katniss receives a visit from President Snow. Which he explains why he is angry at her for breaking the rules at the end of the game, which allows both Katniss and Peeta to win. Snow also tells her about when she defied the capitol, she inspired a rebellion in the districts. The victory tour starts with District 11 and ends with the capitol. During an interview, Peeta proposes to Katniss publicly, which is a plan to settle the dispute between Katniss and President Snow and to calm the rebellions in the districts. Their attempts to calm the revolts in the districts fails. Shortly after returning to District 12, Katniss encounters two runaways from District 8. They explain their theory that District 13 has not been entirely wiped out and most of the residents live underground. Later it is announced that the 75th Hunger Games would have 24 victors from previous years must be forced to compete once again. This is the third Quarter Quell, an event that occurs every 25 years of the games and allows the capitol to introduce a twist. Katniss knows she and Peeta will be the two tributes and decides that Peeta should be the victor. Even though Peeta wants to protect her.

 

Characters:

 

Finnick Odair- He is the male tribute for District 4 and was known for winning the 65th Hunger Games at the age of 14. Finnick is 24 years old and is described as being very handsome, muscular, athletic and tall with tan skin, bronze hair, and stunning sea-green eyes. He is popular among the people of the capitol, and is known as a sex symbol for having many female lovers in the capitol, non of whom he stays with long.

Johanna Mason- She is the female tribute for District 7 and was known for winning the Original Hunger Games when she pretended to be a coward and weakling but towards the end of the games she reveals herself as a vicious killer. Johanna is described as being rebellious and sarcastic.

Enoboria- She is the female tribute for District 2 and was removed from the games by the capitol after Katniss caused an explosion in the arena.
Beetee- He is the male tribute for District 3 and was removed from the games by the rebels.
Wiress- She is the female tribute for District 3 and died after her throat was slit by another tribute named Gloss.

Overall Ranking:
This book receives 5 out 5 stars because of the major game change in the Hunger Games and the big plot twist towards the end of the book which revolved around the uprising and the idea of  District 13 remaining underground. After reading this book it kept me wanting to read the next book and have my questions answered such as what will happen to all the characters and is Katniss going to be reunited with Peeta? Personally, I think Katniss will be the one to lead this rebellion because she is called the Mockingjay and the next book is also titled the Mockingjay which might indicate what might happen with the rebellion. For those who are wanting to read on, I recommend that you should continue reading the 2nd book because it does continue after Kantiss and Peeta's life changing after they won  the games. I'm sorry for my absence I have been busy with school because of 2nd semester gets a little chaotic but now that I'm on break I will be doing more reviews. Don't forget to follow for more reviews!
