Saturday I went to see the second movie in the Hunger Games series. While I realize these are "young adult" fiction, I found the books interesting. I wasn't particularly impressed with the first movie, but this one was much better, adhering closer to the book than the first one, albeit with a few plot points left out.

Stop, drop and roll!




Oops, sorry, just reacting to the subject line, there. :wink:

I'll probably go see this, later in the week. The movie may adhere more closely to the book, but I didn't like the second two books nearly as much as the first.

I thought "Catching Fire" was the best of the three, with "Hunger Games" second and "Mockingjay" a distant third (a disappointing denoument).

I had mixed feelings about a lot of what happened in Mockingjay, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it demonstrated the devastating effects of war very well.

Hope you all stayed for the credits. Or at least the first song. :)
