Wesley Morris
This is Empire Strikes Back stuff. It has that second Star Wars movie's kick of confidence.
Christy Lemire
Director Francis Lawrence's film runs nearly two-and-a-half hours but it concludes so abruptly and tantalizingly, it leaves you wanting more.
Richard Roeper
The budget is nearly twice the original, and it shows. Great work from the A-list cast, amazing set designs and costumes.
Christopher Orr
Now the violence is not merely physical, but existential. Far from having won her freedom as promised, Katniss is now imprisoned in a false public narrative-supporter of the Capitol, lover of Peeta-from which she may never escape.
Lisa Kennedy
Catching Fire delivers on the grim, roiling promises of the original.
Geoff Pevere
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire takes the narrative and thematic liberties traditionally granted the middle chapter in a trilogy and drives the stakes up sharply.

Given the strength of this installment, I'd say the box-office odds continue to be, in that Hunger Games catchphrase, "ever in its favor."

Hunger Games Catching Fire This movie gave me a peek about how life could possibly be like in the future. You know the extreme outlook how technology can control the havenots. They even dressed up the chosen havenots and gave them no choice but to paticipate in a dehumanizing life threatening game. But! These havenots are kids. Check it out and see what happens.
Catching Fire I find it funny how most people did liked the 2nd book of The Hunger Games and loved the movie. I was not aloud to see it til i was 12, being only 9-10 i did not listen to my mom. She always caught me trying to watch when they where watching it. Finally, when I entered 5th grade i got a kindle from my teacher. It had the hunger games on it so i read it, then i watched the movie. One day i felt gultiy and told my mom. She just laughed. Now me and some freands are making a fan-made movie.
