When
I reviewed the first film, I hadn’t read the book, but after I saw it, I went through
the trilogy within a week! This is by far is one of my top favorite trilogies!
To go and live it again in the Cinema is amazing! This is why I love it when
they turn books into successful films! It doesn’t always work, but this one,
it’s just perfect!
So
the story continues for Katniss Everdeen (
Jennifer
Lawrence), the Girl on Fire and Baker Boy, Peeta Mellark (
Josh
Hutcherson) after they won the 74th Hunger Games. They start with
the Victor’s Tour and somehow end up on the bad side of President Snow (
Donald
Sutherland). He is mad and he is furious, so naturally for the 75
th
Hunger Games, he brings all the old Victors back into the arena, just to show
them all who’s in control. A wise move or not? Well, that’s something for you
to find while you watch.
I
dunno about the rest of the trilogy fans, but I am ecstatic and happy, because
all of my favorites parts in the book played before me in the screen! I just
hate it when they sometimes have to cut good scenes to fit the whole plot in
the 2 hours film.
The
movie was so awesome and it just so exciting! My favorite part to watch was
when Katniss dress turned into the mockingjay! That was so beautiful and the
Arena!! Oh man! They really make it real!! To live through the Hunger Games all
over again is so thrilling. It’s better for us of course, cus it’s not real,
but I didn’t notice the time, the whole film just flew by! It’s that good, you’re
so in it, that when it stops, you remember you’re at the movies.
I
loved loved Jennifer portray of Katniss. If you haven’t read the book, this is
who Katniss is, she’s strong but vulnerable. She is confused of whom to love
between Peeta and Gale (
Liam Hemsworth).
So if you see Jennifer’s face, that’s Katniss. You really really have to read
the books! On the other hand, Josh who played Peeta, was a bit stiff. Peeta for
me is one of my favorite characters I have ever read in a book. His true
character is so strong and powerful and his love for Katniss is so beautiful,
fierce and magical. That wasn’t clear enough in the film. They have to fix it
for the third film! My other favorite character in the book is the handsome
charming,
Finnick Odair
(
Sam Claflin)
the victor from district 4. I love him and I’m happy that Sam wasn’t
disappointing in his role. He nailed it!
There
is not a lot to say about this film. It’s just so inspiring. I loved the books.
I’ll say it over and over again. It’s not just about the love story or the
excitement of all the twists and turns of the plot. It’s on how Suzanne
Collins, the writer of the trilogy depicted on the subject of survivor guilt
and post trauma syndromes. It’s so gripping to just read on and see how
Katniss’ character developed. The hurt and pain of going through two hunger games and a revolution is explored throughout the books. It's so emotionally hooking.
Never
mind me, just a bookworm and an aspiring writer yapping on character’s
development. Anyway, the movie is amazing! It’s soooo soooo good, so go watch
it. If you saw the first one, you’ll love this too and if you didn’t, buy it, rent it or borrow it, then head to Cinema to watch this one.
Till
the next one!
