The Hunger Games series of novels by Suzanne Collins, many fans are
wondering if it will be a significant improvement over the second film,
Catching Fire.
Slow Start Reduced Catching Fire Appeal
One
of the glaring (albeit unavoidable) weaknesses of the middle
installment of the movies trilogy is the somewhat plodding start - with a
very long stretch at the beginning with little to no action at all. Was
it entirely necessary to spend so much time on the development of the
Katniss / Gale relationship? Did the tour scenes have to take so long?
Could they have wrapped more of the incidents at the various districts
into fewer scenes? Ultimately the director's decision was to add in the
necessary character and background environment more deliberately than
with subtlety - and hence we were left with the rather dull start to
Catching Fire.
In the coming film Mockingjay, we begin where we
left off from the prior movie - with the revolution all but underway -
Katniss, Finnick, Beetee and company squirreled away from the arena,
underground, and away from the prying eyes of President Snow. I won't
give away the plot here, but clearly District 12 doesn't fair well when
faced with the wrath of President Snow.
Revolution the Theme of The Hunger Games' Mockingjay
The
third film (the first of two films covering the content of Collins'
third novel) will almost certainly be filled with action start to finish
- much more along the lines of the initial movie, The Hunger Games. Far
fewer relevant characters are introduced in Mockingjay, leaving the
director a great deal more time to spend in delivering plot and action.
Clearly it is the requisite character introduction and relationship
development from the 75th games which caused a great deal of the issues
with the slow pace of Catching Fire. We could not have the partnerships
between characters Finnick, Johanna, Beetee, Wiress, Peeta, and Katniss
we see in film three without the necessary (although sometimes
cumbersome) bonding and relationship development done in movie two.
Plot Surprises to Come in The Hunger Games
While
nearly everyone finds themselves wrapped up in the day-to-day drama of
Katniss Everdeen, her love triangle with Peeta and Gale, and the horror
of the Games themselves - there is actually a bigger picture developing.
Katniss and the 75th Quarter Quell survivors find themselves in
mysterious (and thought to be destroyed) District 13 - which has its own
political ambitions and problems. The story is as old as the cliché -
be careful what you wish for... you may get it. I think one thing we can
be certain of - and that is the third picture in this series will be a
lot faster paced than the previous one.
