I never got a chance to review The Hunger Games when it had it's cinematic release, but if I had done, I would have given it a fairly positive review with perhaps a 7/8 rating against it. But that's an easy conclusion to make based simply on reflection of how good it's follow-up film turned out to be.
I couldn't give Catching Fire anything less than 10 as quite frankly, it couldn't have got any better in my eyes. It wasn't a ground-breaking, experimental masterpiece, but it told the story well, progressed enormously (considering the storyline is essentially the exact same as the first, this is a commendable achievement) and left me dying for the third movie.
