The 'Catching Fire' Reviews are Coming in - And They Are GOOD!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire reviews are coming in and (huge sigh of relief) they are GOOD.

The Telegraph UK praises Jennifer Lawrence's performance, saying:

Meanwhile, Lawrence tears through the film like a cannonball.

And says:

It’s a critic’s instinct to auto-praise any blockbuster that tries to do something different, but Catching Fire is so committed to carrying on the fine work started by its predecessor that the applause flows utterly naturally. Is it too soon to say I can’t wait for the next one?

Cine-vue gives it 4 stars and says:

Taking over the mantle from the departing Gary Ross for speedily produced sequel Catching Fire (2013) is journeyman director Francis Lawrence, perhaps best known for his 2007 adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. If Lawrence struggled with Matheson's grand apocalyptic themes, with Catching Fire his aim is impeccable, striking - and even improving upon - the heart of Suzanne Collins' middle book.

The London Evening Standard gives it four stars and says:

The second half is a roaring... OK, OK, no more fire metaphors. Suffice to say, teen rebel and ace archer, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), is still the best game changer in town.

We're not going to post every review, it's just great to see that the early ones are coming in with postitive buzz.

Preview: "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Lorde off the Catching Fire Soundtrack

MTV has a preview of Lorde's "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" off The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack today. Listen to the track here.

From MTV:

Some covers are just tired re-treads of a jam, and some take the original, rend it asunder, and reassemble it as something wholly different — and equally amazing. Lorde's Hunger Games: Catching Fire track — a cover of Tears For Fears' "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" — does the latter.

Although on the surface a jangly song, Tears For Fears' 1985 hit is actually pretty dark in theme. "The concept is quite serious — it's about everybody wanting power, about warfare and the misery it causes," the band's Curt Smith said back when the song was released.

17-year-old wunderkind Lorde brings out that inherent darkness with her version, giving the track a layer of grime and an ominous build that culminates in the Pure Heroine singer practically keening, "everybody wants to rule the world." It's a dramatic song, a cinematic song, one that evokes all the terror and determination that builds up inside "Hunger Games" protagonist Katniss Everdeen as she prepares to re-enter the deathly arena.

"I think it's absolutely amazing," Smith told MTV Hive of the cover in an interview slated to run later this week. "But then I love her, I think she's brilliant.... We love it when other people cover our stuff. Sometimes we steal them and use their version live."
