Last night my friend Rachel and I went to the midnight showing of the next hunger games movie, Catching Fire. I thought it was absolutely brilliant!! I thought I'd share my favourite aspects.
I personally think that if you've read the books then you wont be disappointed because they are incredibly similar which I think shows an improvement compared to the first movie, which I felt missed important parts out. However, I do have one criticism which is when Katniss is dancing with the new game maker (I'm bad with names) and shows her his watch. That was missed out in the movie which I found quite disappointing because its one of those moments when you look back on after the film is finished and realise that it was a hint to what the arena would be! Anyway, moving on..
Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss was flawless as expected. She portrayed all Katniss's emotions extremely well and in a way that made you empathise with her. I also thought the kissing scenes between Katniss and Peeta (and Gale) were much less 'awkward' to watch compared to the first film. Finnick played by Sam Claflin was really great and thought he did a wonderful job in trying to replicate the Finnick in the book. And I thought Johannah was amazing! I didn't particularly like in the book but I think she brings something unique to the film and is witty.
I can't even explain the wardrobe in terms of costumes and outfits. They were wonderful, with my favourite outfit being when Katniss's wedding dress turns into the mocking jay. It was almost mind blowing; so beautiful! The outfits they all where in the arena were also great as they were exactly how imagined them in the books.
Skipping ahead to the ending which I loved. I almost wanted to cry because it made me want to see the next movie so badly. I left the cinema really excited and hyped for the future film. It was such a great movie!! I can't wait to see the next one and I think I'm going to have to read the books again haha!
