So, I picked up Catching Fire on blu ray.
It was the #1 film of 2013, topping Iron Man 3, which restores my faith in movie goers because Catching Fire is a great movie, while Iron Man 3 is at best enjoyable as ironic camp.
Oh yeah, Katniss Everdeen is a girl, female lead, and certainly one of the biggest new characters to come around in cinema in along time. Yet, I see a report that just 15% of lead characters in major movies are female. That's kind of sad.
Catching Fire is a very good movie. I prefer this series to Harry Potter. The acting is better in this film. The stakes feel more real. Jennifer Lawrence is a far superior than the kids from the Potter movies.
Oh yeah, Donald Sutherland as President Snow is such a bastard in this film. Just want to see him get a horrible death when this series is sad and done.
Love the shocktroopers they send out in this movie, remind me of Cobra Vipers/Stormtrooper mesh:
Anyway, very good movie, but it does have a Empire Strikes Back-non ending that leaves you wanting more, but there's no Return of the Jedi to pop in, so we're left hanging for who knows how long and I imagine Lawrence being the Hollywood it girl has a very busy career.
