"Catching Fire" makes for rousing entertainment in its own right, leaving fans riled and ready to storm the castle.

A safe, serviceable, carefully crafted action drama in which the subversive seeds planted in the first story take welcome root.

Dismiss it as a popcorn movie if you must, but at least they've bothered to serve it with real butter and truffle salt.

Top Critic

The rare sequel that surpasses its predecessor, 'Catching Fire' tackles head-on the repercussions of the events of "The Hunger Games," deepening Collins' cinematic mythology while proving that teen-lit is more than capable of tackling complex ideas. 

- Todd Gilchrist
The Playlist

CATCHING FIRE bests THE HUNGER GAMES in every way. If the trend continues this series will be a political science fiction epic that will endure for generations.
