Watched this over the weekend. Not a bad film, and manages to keep very close to the book.

Reasonably enjoyable - I had low expectations after watching the Honest Trailer coverage of it.

However, one thing stood out - Katniss Everdeen doesn't really do very much. She watches braodcasts from the Capitol, and then the rebels. She watches other people do things. She gets involved a couple of times, but otherwise...not very much. I guess it's one of the challenges of trying to bring to the screen a story where so much of it is driven by personal and internal conflict - a key flaw with the first Hunger Games film.
 
This is on my list of movies to see.

I was a little disappointed by Catching Fire and didn't think it was as good as the Hunger Games.
