The Hunger Games Catching Fire Will Catch Your Eye

The government uses fear in order to have control of its people. Sound familiar?  I think that is one of the appealing aspects of this series.    This concept is not so far fetched from our imaginations to seem unrealistic. 
I have heard from various readers of The Hunger Games Trilogy and agree that the movie held true to the text as much as possible.  (To be honest,  though, I hate when people pitch fits when one does not match exactly with the other. You create your own movie in your mind when reading a good book,  so let's calm ourselves a bit when movies don't fit all 300+ pages of details.) I digress.
For those who haven't read the books. This movie is one with a gripping tale of a girl who just wants what is fair but continues to upset the wrong people because she encompasses what can hurt the control established which is hope. Hope to fight what is far from just and hope for a better life. You cry with her as lives are taken, encourage her when it seems her path can't get any worse, and are left in antipation of what is next to come.  
Don't forget her torn heart.  Does the boy who she fights to protect  have her heart or the boy she's known her whole life?  Not even Catniss can figure this one out as her mind is too occupied with protecting the lives of those she loves while trying to survive another round of Hunger Games that are much more serious than previous if, you can imagine.  
This is a must see as the stakes are higher and I promise you will be left needing to see the next movie whether you are a reader of the series, or simply a lover of movies.
