Catching Fire is the best movie out of the Hunger Games trilogy to date. Whenever i watch a movie that is made from a book, i always read the book first and compare the movie to see how it holds true to the book. Catching fire is one of the few movies that holds very true to the book which I was glad to see. Sometimes when they make movies from books they tend to leave parts or details out. Not true with this one! Great movie and great ending that leaves you wanting more. Cant wait for Mocking Jay Part I.

I am so happy that I waited until this came out on Blu-Ray and DVD, so worth the wait. The plot entices you and keeps you hooked until the very last seconds of the film. I wouldn't have bought it right away if I didn't need to do this for an assignment for a class, but it is so worth it to buy it even if it wasn't for the assignment. Some parts get intense, but never to the point to where you have to leave the room. I am so happy that I decided to wait. Now I own it and can watch it anytime I please :-)!

The capitol of Panem has a tradition that involves one boy and one girl to represent their district in the "Hunger Games". They must be between the ages of twelve and eighteen and fight to the death for their District. This Game is televised for all Districts to see.
Katniss volunteers for her younger sister, who was picked by her District. Katniss considers this a Death Sentence.
The film goes on to how she enters this Game and what she has to do to survive.
It is very fast paced and keeps you involved.

This movie was an astonishing movie. It easily impressed me and my family members capturing the beauty of the Hunger Games: Catching Fire book. The plot and acting fit in perfectly. We loved it so much we had watched it again! It was an amazing product and I am glad to have purchased the film. I cannot wait till Mockingjay as the ending of this extraordinary movie captured my attention leaving me to envy for the next motion picture. Overall an amazing movie that I recommend to almost every movie fanatic.

Catching Fire is the second installment in The Hunger Games series. It's a wonderful movie, I personally like it more than the first one. The Blu-ray quality is fantastic in picture and sound. I have the Steelbook Edition, and it is very beautiful! No dents at all. In the past I've bought Blu-rays that came with huge dents in them and had to bring them back. I believe it's probably one of the nicest Steelbooks in my collection. If you love Catching Fire, or loved The Hunger Games this is a must-buy item!

The story keeps you involved, as you struggle along with the young protagonists to sort out what is happening based on the bits of information provided. Like many great stories, you have the sense that more is going on than what you can know from the hero's vantage point. This allows you to empathize with acting bravely without the feeling that the hero is master of her own fate. Ultimately the rebellion will be a community effort, with everyone doing what can be done from different places.

I watched the first Hunger Games movie and I have to admit that I wasn't too sure how I felt about the storyline and such. It's kind of a strange and eerie concept. However, I watched this second movie and now I'm officially hooked! If you can get past how creepy the concept of the actual Hunger Games is and if you can just keep in mind that you are just watching a movie, you should enjoy this. I even found myself growing attached to more of the characters than I did in the first movie. :)

This is a great product. The steelbook is aesthetically pleasing as well as the $8 Fandango coupon that came with it was a win win. Since purchasing, my fiance has watched the movie well over 5x. The action and story line with all the special effects definitely can keep a man's interest throughout the movie even if they do not care too much about the story from not having read the books. A good movie and definitely worth watching more than 1x ( Maybe not 5x, but hey to each his/her own).

Great movie to add to my collection. In the digital age the concept of a movie tower next to the TV has been lost but these artistic steel books look great in my collection of movies. Not to mention adding a great movie to it as well. Digital copies are great and all but nothing can replace the wall of movies that define not only my movie preferences but also reminds me what I've seen before. The price wasn't bad either considering it was a new release. Get your popcorn and enjoy!

I loved this movie. I read the entire trilogy twice and feel they did a great job bringing to life Mrs. Collin's story. My only gripe if any, is the the way the movie only slightly follows the book at times and some of the scenes feel a bit rushed just to get the synopsis in full play. But, don't hear me wrong; this movie is beautiful and captivity from start to finish and make one's appetite quell for the next movie in the series to come out in Nov 2014 (see what I did there ;)

Let's be honest; you are either interested in this movie, or you're not. That said, the steelcase was something we picked up primarily for the movie cash on fandango to see Divergent (12yo and wife are dying to see it). There is a fair amount of extra content that syncs up with your Ultraviolet account, which is nice as well.
Steelcase is nice, but the plastic that held the front/back together was broken when we opened it. I took it back, and had zero hassle exchanging it.

Cool Steelbook

Second film in the Hunger Games series does not disappoint! In fact, it is even more entertaining than the first. The cool exclusive steelbook packaging from Best Buy is icing on the cake. Picture quality is excellent, but, note that the aspect ratio changes from 2.35 to 1.78 during the scenes that were filmed for IMAX (once Katniss enters the game). Audio quality is top notch! Audio commentary, an in-depth making of and some deleted scenes round out the presentation.

After reading the trilogy, I couldn't wait for this second movie to come out. It definitely surpassed my expectations. For the most part, it followed the book pretty closely, better than some book-to-movies have done in the past/present. The cinematography was great especially in the second half. Bonus features were neat, though it will take up a nice chunk of time. Definitely worth seeing if you're a fan of the books or the first movie. Can't wait for the next 2!

This is an exciting movie and a great adaptation of the book. Jennifer Lawrence does a great job portraying the increasing anger her character feels toward the authority figures. She is also very convincing in portraying Katniss as having to pretend to care about Peeta. Woody Harrelson is perfect for the role of the drunken character Haymitch. The casting is really good; even the actors in minor roles give us a good sense of their characters.

I knew Catching Fire was going to be good, but I was genuinely surprised at just how good it was. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutchinson were excellent together and the supporting cast also did an excellent job selling the dystopian setting for this film. The plot shows us what happens after the Hunger Games and then sets us up nicely for the forthcoming movies.
A rare sequel that matches, if not exceeds, its predecessor. A definite keeper for your home collection.

They did a good job of telling the story of the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. The picture and sountrack quality are as good as it gets, at least for 1080p. Getting both movies; The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, both in Steelbook for $28.00 was fantastic. Walmart had them $3.00 dollars cheaper without the Steelbook covers, but only in Dolby Digital (DVD sound quality). These are in DTS-HD Master Audio (Blu Ray quality) and it really makes a difference.

A Must DVD for any "Hunger Games" Enthusiast

This DVD is a must in any collection of the Hunger Games Anthology. The second movie in the series, the viewer sees the evolution of the characters and hints at some future directions the next film in the series (Mocking Jay: Part I) might take. As in the first film, the acting is first rate -- special kudos to Jennifer Lawrence. However, some fine performances are also turned in by the supporting crew, especially Donald Sutherland.

The movie was great. There was a lot of drama and action. The movie picked up were the first one left off and continue was the same theme. I like the twist they had the selection of participants for the game. The movie was long but was worth every second watching it. The new characters introduced were exciting and they had talents which added the movie depth. The movie was enjoyed by all of my family members and we are looking forward to the next installment.

I was unable to see this movie in theaters, so I was really looking forward to the dvd release, and it did not disappoint. The movie managed to deftly combine the political drama that was necessary to the overall story arc of the films, and the action scenes that are so fun to watch. The costumes and sets are amazing. They made some great additions to the cast, I especially liked Jena Malone. I am definitely looking forward to the final chapters of this saga.

The movie continues the story from the books pretty faithfully and builds the excitement for the story's conclusion in the last book that I understand now will be split into two movies. The books were great and the movies have stayed true to the stories. I bought it the first day it was available after having seen it in the theater because I wanted a copy to watch whenever I wanted. The features are nice and the digital copy makes it available wherever I am.
