Actually I've been watching this about 2 weeks ago with Ziyan and Raga, but have no time to write the review heheheh. So, here we go.
Name it as movie you've been waiting for since 2012. In the first Hunger Games, the movie itself just shown how the Hunger Games works, how Katniss and Peeta struggling until they won the games. After watching the first movie, I thought that the movie was ended at Katniss-won-the-game-so-game-over point. I didn't know that there're Hunger Games saga books and the second movie would be released at 2013. After I knew it, I didn't read the book deliberately, so I didn't compare the books and the movie when I'm watching.
The waiting (fortunately) paid off. There were dramas, action, conflict...mixed into one. That after Katniss and Peeta won, people considering them as symbol of hope..and love (even that was set up). It could bring some rebellion among people against Capitol. I've read a review about this in Huffington Post, somehow it shown some kind of Marxism ideology, when working class (proletarian) showing their displeasure towards bourgeoise class. Thus, Capitol wanted to destroy their hope by killing Katniss and Peeta within Quarter Quell, Hunger Games within the winners. To win among those winner, Haymitch advising Katniss and Peeta to ally with others. Finally, they got Finnick, Johanna, and 2 other people from somewhat district that I forgot :p. In the end, it shown that actually Heavensbee, Haymitch, and Finnick already planned this to fight against Capitol, but Peeta and Johanna were kidnapped...and to be continued to Mockingjay (would be released in 2014). For full stories, you gotta see it by yourself. It's no fun if you just read the review :p
Anyway, when I saw love triangle between Katniss-Peeta-Gale, I remembered about (almost) the same triangle between Bella-Jacob-Edward. Quite same, isn't it? Also I appreciate how Jennifer Lawrence bring the character of Katniss Everdeen. The character was strong and different from the way she acted as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook. If we compared to Kristen Stewart when she acted as Bella in Twilight Saga and Snow White in Snow White and The Huntsman which we couldn't see the differences...well, no wonder Jen got the Oscar.
Can't wait for Mockingjay! :D
