Theater, Rent, No Thanks, Undecided? Theater. Hopefully Catching Fire can fix the problems I had with the first Hunger Games movie because I had quite a few. That being said, the sequel to one of the most popular literary franchises is my favorite book in the series, and has an arena structure that could be epic on screen. Of course Jennifer Lawrence is going to own too, so there’s that as well. Let’s just hope this one gets more right than the first. I’m on tap for the Pop-Break review of Catching Fire, so we’ll see how all turns out in due time. –LJF
Theater, Rent, No Thanks, Undecided? Theater. While I was not a massive fan of the first Hunger Games, Catching Fire is still the kind of popcorn movie that you see in the cineplex. It’s so grandiose and epic that you need to see it on a giant screen in surround sound. Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson and Josh Hutcherson are gonna kill it. The action will be thrilling and in the end Catching Fire will be highly entertaining. –BB
