The Hunger Games: Catching Fire more than makes the case for this as a franchise that's going to get better as it goes, and I am genuinely excited to see how they wrap it up.

The screen translation of Catching Fire, the second volume of the series, offers its audience many of the elements that made The Hunger Games compelling, but adds to that by deepening the themes and emotional currents and traveling to darker destinations.

Catching Fire is a great leap forward for the franchise. Seeing as it’s all about hope and what it represents, here’s hoping the next two are just as good, if not better.

Everything that felt clumsy in The Hunger Games has been improved upon here. That's most apparent in the clarity of the action, but it also extends to how efficiently the film establishes so many new ensemble members.

Catching Fire is bigger, better and broodier than the first film.

The Hunger Games franchise, both in print and onscreen, has been exceptionally clever about cozying away imaginative space for fans to fill in the blanks and cast themselves in the rich drama. That this latest film leaves us hungering for more only means that it’s working.

Deep thoughts about re-directing cynically manipulated celebrity, lump in the throat moments at people rising up against their oppressors, a couple of memorable deaths and attempts at sacrifice play as flat when there’s nothing around them to serve as contrast.

A great follow up to the original. Takes what makes it good and expands on it.

Plot rather recycled from the first chapter where the struggle for survival of the protagonist in the arena is proposed again. This time however it is less focused on the struggle between tributes and survival elements but the story follows a different script that makes the film enjoyable although rather similar to the previous one.

Somehow even darker and more brooding than the original, which was itself no sunshiny walk in the park. Following the financial success of that first film, a lot of rough edges and awkward missteps have been ironed out in time for the next act. Most notably improved is the effects work, which seemed just a bit too much like a video game cutscene. The new arena is convincing and beautiful, the glitz and glamor of The Capitol has been amplified appropriately, and the intricacies of the cast's showy wardrobe (which memorably underwhelmed in the first film) are far better realized.
Catching Fire's plot is efficient, if telegraphed and incomplete: its sudden, jolting cliffhanger (which occurs, literally, right in the middle of a sentence) left me flat, even if it is laid out the same way in the source material. Much of the primary cast spends the duration wrapped up in their own sorrow, quietly brooding over their predicament while the roles of their flashier, more PR-friendly foils have been trimmed down to mere cameos. Such concessions are understandable, as the film does run quite long as it is, but the accompanying shift in tone makes this a very redundant, single-colored ride. An improvement over the first film in many ways, but the first act really drags its feet and there's a puzzling lack of enthusiasm, energy and suspense to it all.

Surpreendeu-me o fato de que é relativamente uma franquia bem-sucedida, fora que os quatro filmes saíram ano a ano, de 2012 a 2015. Imagino que em 2012 mesmo houve o anúncio da sequel, o que, em tese, abranda os problemas que o primeiro traz, o que não os elimina. Aqui o enredo opta por abandonar o jogo e focar em toda a política por detrás do império, o controle e a possibilidade de rebelião, então pode-se dizer que é a preparação mental e estrutural para a protagonista e o cenário que precisamos para o encerramento do enredo. Embora agora haja um foco maior em uma reta funcional, ela é como uma teia do Homem-Aranha: frágil DEMAIS para a imaginarmos como algo real. Tudo o que acontece aqui é só uma base para tornar verossímil tudo o que vem no após, porém não há verossimilhança para o que já está aqui. É abrupto e superficial sobremaneira. E a cena final é péssima. Perdi a vontade de continuar a franquia, devo dizer.
