Catching Fire, however, the second adaptation drawn from Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games trilogy, defies that trend with more finely drawn relationships. With the 74th Games in the history books, Katniss (Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, as comfortable in warrior garb as in designer couture) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson, better than ever) set out on a victory tour across Panem with Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) and Effie (Elizabeth Banks). Despite her best efforts to feign romance with her co-competitor and to keep posttraumatic stress at bay, President Snow (Donald Sutherland) fears that Katniss's defiant nature will incite rebellion, so he takes a tip from new gamemaker Plutarch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and launches a Quarter Quell in which past champions, such as the hilariously bitter Johanna (Jena Malone) and the deceptively arrogant Finnick (Sam Claflin), will fight to the death. Not all tributes are quite so young, like Mags (Lynn Cohen), a senior citizen who suits up for battle and establishes a touching bond with Finnick (Jeffrey Wright and Amanda Plummer play the craftiest teammates). Until the cliffhanger ending, director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) serves up an array of splendors, from killer baboons to the ever-amazing outfits of Effie and Caesar (Stanley Tucci). Most significantly, the script from cowriter Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) strengthens the bonds between Katniss and Peeta and Gale (Liam Hemsworth), who prove themselves more worthy than ever of Katniss's affections. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Review: Remember Who the Enemy Is - Admit it. Some of you have been waiting for this one. I know I have. If you saw "The Hunger Games," you will remember that in this battle to the death, our two representatives from District 12 had to pretend to be in love in order to get sponsors to provide some much-needed supplies necessary for their survival (and victory). Now the Panem government wants to see them marry to prove that it wasn't a hoax. The problem is, The Capitol senses a rebellion brewing and thinks our heroine may be the inspiration, so they announce The Quarter Quell which will pit contestants drawn from previous winners. She is certain to have her name drawn as she is the only female winner from District 12 in the past quarter century. So much for that "lifetime of plenty" she was promised. Some of these are returnees from the first episode: * Jennifer Lawrence (Oscar for "Silver Linings Playbook") is back as Katniss, the role model I wish tweens would emulate: Her first instinct always is to help; she is genuine; she's smart; and she's resourceful. AND she has become the unwitting symbol of rebellion in Panem. * Josh Hutcherson ("Red Dawn") is Peeta, her partner, and, to make their story look real, her fiance. This guy is steadfast, strong and soooo much in love with her.... * Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song") is Gale, her first love, still working in the mine back in District 12, taking care of her mother and sister and trying to ignore the publicity about Katniss and Peeta's pending nuptials. * Sam Claflin ("Snow White and the Huntsman") is Finnick, one of the other contestants. Is he an ally they can trust or an enemy who will stab them in the back? * Lenny Kravitz ("Precious") is the wonderful Cinna, the designer who created the marvelous dress that launched Katniss as the Girl on Fire. This year's design is even more provocative. Wait until you see it! * Donald Sutherland ("The Hunger Games") returns as President Snow, walking a fine line between assassinating Katniss outright (which might inflame the rebels) and trying to outwit her (which he's fairly confident he can do). * Stanley Tucci ("Jack the Giant Slayer") once again is the perfect television host: smarmy, overly enthusiastic and completely despicable. * Elizabeth Banks ("Pitch Perfect") This time her Effie Trinket seems to have grown a heart. Whew! * Woody Harrelson ("Seven Psychopaths") still is Haymitch (and he still drinks too much). He's the only former winner of the Hunger Games from District 12 still living and as such, serves as a mentor for our two contestants. This is a battle of wits, guts and gumption. It is PG-13 because of the grisly idea behind the games, although we rarely see blood. There is a sprinkle of profanity but it is warranted when used. We mostly see resourceful (and loyal) young adults in a battle for their lives. They remind each other, "Remember who the enemy is." This is exciting, involving and we have a LOT of people to root for. I haven't named all the principal characters in this 146-minute epic, but I must warn you, there are no dull spots when you can take a quick break, so do NOT drink too many liquids! I'm looking forward to the third (and fourth) episodes, "Mockingjay." Suzanne Collins' final book in this trilogy has been split into two $creenplay$. I guess my set from desertcart will total 4 DVDs. Review: LIVE TWO MORE YEARS AND YOU CAN SEE THE CONCLUSSION!!!! - There is an unsettling trend that has festered its way into Hollywood. I guess you could say it has been going on for years, but this is a little different. An author writes a trilogy (or more) of books geared toward young adults, they become popular and then Hollywood milks the public dry with movies that have no ending until they actually make the final movie; which could be delayed longer and longer, depending upon how much milking takes place. "Harry Potter" was the poster child for this trend and that was followed by the "Twilight" series, both of which split their final books into two movies for more milking. I call this an unsettling trend because often what happens is bad film-making; movies with no payoff, stories that are interrupted for months or years until they film and release the next chapter, movies that their entire purpose for existence is a side-story and finally, payoff after 4,5, or 7 movies that makes you realize that 4,5 or 7 movies was really unnecessary. I say this because "The Hunger Games" is one of those franchises' of films and you should be fully aware of these downsides that I just listed. Fortunately for "Hunger Games", it is spectacular film-making. Most importantly though, it is gifted with an amazing actress that effortlessly achieves the one thing that I think is the greatest asset that any movie can; empathy. Katniss Everdeen is an unwilling and sympathetic anti-hero and if you as an audience member don't feel the emotions that she is going through or are moving in your seat as she runs, dives and survives, you may need to check your pulse. "Catching Fire" is more than the action movie that you would expect. It is brilliantly thought-provoking. Each character is drawn to complexity with great thought and performed with vigor by great actors. When Woody Harrelson's character Haymitch tells Katniss that the upcoming exercise is to find allies, the message is clear to her and to you the audience. From that point on, you the audience member and Katniss Everdeen are one in the same. You are studying the characters and your heart is racing when the events begin to unfold. Who does she trust? Who do you trust? You'd have to have been in a Turkish prison not to know that "Catching Fire" is the middle book of a three-book series and the second of a four-movie series. Therefore, despite its qualities, the movie builds you to a boiling point, the screen drops to black and on the screen comes the crackling burning mockingjay icon, signifying credits and a wink to you that you'll have to wait until November 2014 for part 1 of the rest of the story and November 2015 for the concluding film. Thanks for your cash! See you then! Hope you live that long! On the good side, rather than make you mad, the movie achieves its desired goal and lights an appropriate fire in your gut. I have already drawn three 'X''s on my living room wall. When I get approximately 365 of them, I can see the next movie. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008JFUS5A | | Actors | Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,438 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #9,227 in DVD | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (42,631) | | Director | Francis Lawrence | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 252680 | | MPAA rating | PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) | | Media Format | Closed-captioned, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Jon Kilik, Nina Jacobson | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | March 7, 2014 | | Run time | 2 hours and 26 minutes | | Studio | Liosngate Pictures Entertainment | | Writers | Michael deBruyn, Simon Beaufoy, Suzanne Collins | ## Product Details - **Format:** Closed-captioned, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Action/Adventure - **Initial release date:** 2013-11-22 - **Language:** English ## Images ![The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - DVD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BVZ+06YtL.jpg) ![The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - DVD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41hctQOJ3xL.jpg) ![The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - DVD - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DOGocI7YL.jpg) ![The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - DVD - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FAGdmPfoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remember Who the Enemy Is *by J***E on November 22, 2013* Admit it.

Some of the acting by Jennifer Lawrence felt a little too reserved for the Katniss character at this point. However, I still very much enjoyed the adaptation. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire [DVD] - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1559169-the-hunger-games-catching-fire-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1559169-the-hunger-games-catching-fire-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
