Catching Fire Cast Review

Hey guys! My name is Aurie Melaine, but I go as Aurie Mellark. Haha! But I'm here to give my opinions on The Hunger Games! Lets just say I'm very passionate about The Hunger Games and I love it! So lets just start off the first blog with my opinions on the cast for Catching Fire!

Jennifer Lawrence- I think Jennifer really captures the image of Katniss Everdeen in a way that no other actress can manage. The way her personality off camera is so happy and funny, to immediately changing to a serious and mature sixteen year old girl. I may only be eighteen, but I have a seen a lot of movies to know that there is no other actress I know could be Katniss better than Jennifer. She has this sort of humor off camera that just builds your spirit to give you a warm good feeling inside. She is a role model to all girls everywhere.

Josh Hutcherson- The second I saw Josh in The Hunger Games my heart exploded. He was by far the best choice to choose for Peeta Mellark. He was able to capture the sensitivity of Peeta and the romance. The way Peeta takes control and is able to handle a situation with only his words. And his looks, he is the most attractive face in Hollywood. He has been in very successful movies such as, The Kids Are Alright, RV (not my favorite), and Journey 1 and 2. Josh has been in the acting business since the age of 9 and all those years have certainly paid off.

Liam Hemsworth- Liam was without a doubt the best choice for Gale Hawthorne. Liam had a way of really portraying the image of Gale and bringing him to life, straight from the book. His strength, courage, and intelligence. With all that has gone on with him off the camera, I give him snaps for staying in character and acting in a positive mood.

Sam Claflin- I will be honest here, I was a little disappointed on the decision of the casting role for Finnick Odair, but as I did some research on Sam, I was impressed with that fact that he was assigned for the role of a major character in a movie that is soon to be a huge blockbuster hit. Sam Claflin was originally assumed to be a football player but due to 2 broken ankles, he sadly gave up on football, then took up acting at the age 16. The reason why I am impressed is because many people in Catching Fire are people that have been acting for years where Sam has only been acting for about half of his life.

Jena Malone- I didn't know what to think at first of Jena. In pictures I thought, "Oh, sure I guess. I mean I guess we could have done a little better, but the trailers look good." On most pictures, Jena has been made to look sophisticated and old, which I'm not very pleased with. When I read Catching Fire and Mockingjay, I expected a young, mature, independent girl. Then I did some research and I felt even deeply concerned. Jena hasn't had enough acting experience for this type of film, and the way she acts so happy and free spirited kinda of scares me. Jennifer I understand, because shes a professional and shes won Oscars, but Jena has been assigned a role to a girl whose just so true to herself and is ruthless, but I will take Francis's word and hope for the best, so Jena I wish you the best of luck.

That's all I have for now about my opinions on the cast, so stick around for random posts. I do have premiere tickets for Catching Fire, so I will be posting about my review on the movie, and I'm praying they will be positive.
