The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Francis Lawrence
2/5
About 25 minutes worth of material stretched to 145 makes catching fire a weak followup indeed, not in any way helped along by an apparent committee-written script. Is this really literature adapted?
Minor issues they may (or may not) be, but when paired with some truly offensive CGI, Lawrence’s first foray into the Hunger Games universe lands firmly in the book of challenging watches. Bad omens.
