Catching Fire review
http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/movies/20131121__Hunger_Games__Catching_Fire__is_bigger__better__broodier.html

In the above review, the review raves about the film and the difference in the first Hunger Games to the second due to the change of directors. The review prefers the second director, Francis Lawrence, to the first director, Gary Ross, because the costumes are less tacky and the actors fit better into their roles. I agree with the reviewer, but I think that the first film contained more dramatic camera angles. Although the second film was a little more realistic, the shaky camera that was often used in the first movie highlighted the characters' confusion while the shaky camera was not used as often in the second movie. However, the improved acting in the second movie made up for the more traditional camera angles that were used in Catching Fire. As the reviewer says, the amazing cast that were playing the characters helped create a dramatic and thrilling movie.
