Besides, safety is no longer an option for Katniss after Snow invents a new set of games to be played only by former winners. Unlike Twilight, in which a girl is torn between a vampire and a wolf, The Hunger Games gives Katniss the provocative choice of joining the one-percenters or becoming the leader of a revolution. How’s that for daring greatly, especially in a blockbuster franchise?Īs Catching Fire begins, Katniss and Peeta are readying for their victory tour, pretending to be a couple, though Katniss’ heart belongs to Gale (Liam Hemsworth), the boy she leaves behind. In the film’s first scene, the camera finds Katniss not in the arena with her face marred by sweat and blood, but alone and lost in thought. Lawrence, 23 and freshly Oscar’ed for Silver Linings Playbook, expertly plays this reluctant warrior whose weapon of choice is a bow and arrow and whose conscience is her own. Or just watch the sublime Jennifer Lawrence take the role of Katniss Everdeen to new levels of ferocity and feeling. Does that mean you have to chill until the movie hits the arena and the action sweet spot? Yeah. It’s also darker, deeper and more dangerously subversive. Catching Fire, which builds on the box-office and critical success of last year’s Hunger Games, is spectacular in every sense of the word. By that standard, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – the second film culled from Suzanne Collins’ bestselling trilogy – should be a placeholder, stuck between the older kid who gets all the glory and the baby who gets all the love.īehind the Scenes Photos from the ‘Catching Fire’ Set
