Rated The Hunger Games: Catching Fire 7/10

Not as straight up brutal as the first one, but brutal on a more meaningful level. Seeing Snow and Katniss consistently fail to smother an imminent rebellion is pretty damn entertaining. Also the long runtime drastically helps the pacing compared to the first movie, where emotional beats get a lot of room to breathe and actually land consistently, even if they had to speed through some of the action scenes to get back to the story. Luckily, as I mentioned, the story is good, and the bet they made that the games would not be the most entertaining part of the story paid off, at least for this round in the series. Now if they had only just taken out some of the flat as hell dialogue lol.
