    International Trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is More of the Same

    DateFri, August 9, 2013

    The first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire did a great job playing up the atmosphere and the social and political fallout of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) one-upping the system like they did. It also didn't touch the real issue fans knew it was coming. The fact that, by all accounts, Catching Fire is a glorified retread of The Hunger Games.

    Once again, it's all about a tournament to the death. The international trailer doesn't quiver away from that. In fact, it follows the same pattern as the trailer(s) for the first film. Even the big buildup to the game starting just as the trailer ends.

    Not an insult, just an observation. Though those angry comments/emails will still come.
