This is Empire Strikes Back stuff. It has that second Star Wars movie's kick of confidence.
Wesley Morris, Grantland

Director Francis Lawrence's film runs nearly two-and-a-half hours but it concludes so abruptly and tantalizingly, it leaves you wanting more.

The budget is nearly twice the original, and it shows. Great work from the A-list cast, amazing set designs and costumes.

Catching Fire delivers on the grim, roiling promises of the original.
