	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The book literally put onscreen, which will delight fans to no end. (...) Lawrence is the superb center of it all (...) Technical and craft contributions mark a step up from the original."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'The Hunger Games' featured kids killing kids for sport. Its sequel, the far superior 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' rewrites the rules"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Bigger, better, hungrier. (...) Whatever the flaws, many from the books, this second grittier, more confident round of Hunger Games thrills us into submission. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"Leaner, gutsier and smarter. In hand-to-hand combat, it would have the first film on the floor, trapped in a headlock, whimpering for mercy. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Is it too soon to say I can't wait for the next one? (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Consider 'Catching Fire' an example of successful franchise installment delivery, on time and in sturdy condition. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is crowd-pleasing and compelling, most of all because of its fiery, charismatic heroine. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Pop-culture escapism can be thrilling when dished out by experts. (...) Lawrence lights up the screen. You'll follow her anywhere. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"'Catching Fire' isn’t a great work of art but it’s a competent, at times exciting movie."	NEU
