Rare is the sequel to a film franchise that surpasses the magic and wonder of the very first movie that has laid the groundwork to a world beloved by millions of fans. Many other grand-scale epics have tried and failed to set a higher standard that the common underlying theme of such failures is the pressure for the movies to succeed financially at the expense of what really matters: giving the audience a great story. So it comes as a complete sigh of relief that "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" has effectively anchored itself as a solid foundation to a fictional cinematic universe that manages to thrill and entertain while simultaneously addressing complex themes that zeroes in on the dark side of human nature. And all of this is a winning formula that also translates to global box office records as of this post's publication. In retrospect, the movie forcefully delivers where it counts, but also comes up short in certain areas that could have been improved with a bit more tweaking. That being said, the bigger picture still is a stunning sight to look at. It goes without saying that the sheer size and scale of "Catching Fire" is significantly more ambitious than its predecessor. Acting, character casting, storytelling, cinematography, music, production design, costuming, hair and makeup, visual effects--everything melded together quite well to produce a film that has more than lived up to everyone's expectations, including mine. Just some of my personal best highlights of "Catching Fire" include:

The Victory Tour fiasco as Katniss and Peeta's appearances in the eleven neighboring Districts basically made people go apeshit with anarchy.

Gale getting whipped by Commander Thread. Because seeing those bloody whip scars on a muscled back totally turned me on in ways that sexual psychopaths could only probably relate to.

The parade of the Quarter Quell tributes in the Capitol. Looked way better than the first film, and District 12's signature "fire entrance" seemed definitely more dramatic in the daytime, especially when Cinna told Katniss and Peeta to look cool and detached like the screaming Capitol crowd was beneath them as their horse-drawn chariot drove through the promenade.

Johanna Mason's expletive-fueled rant with Caesar Flickerman and her now iconic elevator strip-down that produced the most priceless reactions from Haymitch, Peeta, and of course, Katniss.

Effie Trinket and her genuine maternal attitude towards her District 12 brood (Haymitch included). That, and her super fierce Alexander McQueen wardrobe: a S/S2011 monarch butterfly dress for the Quarter Quell reaping and F/W2012 pieces for her arrival in the Victor's Village, President Snow's party, and backstage at Caesar Flickerman's talk show.

Several great Katniss moments such as the reveal of her black Mockingjay dress, losing her shit at seeing Cinna getting beaten mere seconds before the Quarter Quell begins, her fiercely protective instincts towards Peeta, her successfully destroying the jungle arena using Beetee's wired apparatus, and her beautifully shot rescue sequence that followed.

The supplementary film soundtrack. I loved that "Atlas" by Coldplay was indeed used as the first closing credits track since this means it has a good chance at being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the upcoming Oscars. Other choice cuts I loved from the film soundtrack include "Elastic Heart" by Sia, The Weeknd (along with his solo contribution in "Devil May Cry"), and Diplo, as well as "Mirror" by Ellie Goulding.

All in all, it was definitely an exhilarating and emotional sequel that should definitely set the tone and pace for the final "Mockingjay" films which will be released in the next two years.

Katniss Everdeen + Johanna Mason

So I really don't ship F/F pairings because I'm clearly gay and I'm into guys but... I totally support Katniss and Johanna being shipped together after seeing "Catching Fire". Seriously, I can't be the only one who thinks they're better together than Katniss being shunted off to Gale or Peeta, right? Like... Johanniss Everson? And cue M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls" as their theme song once they fuck shit up in Panem come "Mockingjay" parts Une et Deux LOL.
