The movie isn't perfect - there's a lot more telling than showing, and a few of the performances aren't stellar - but as a whole, it's pretty great. The cast is stuffed with good actors and Jennifer Lawrence is especially fantastic. I'm not sure this would be enjoyed by anyone who's not a fan of the franchise, but it's a solid film I look forward to seeing again.
3.5 hilarious faces in elevators out of 5.

Nice.
Looking forward to this one.
Probably going to check it out tomorrow night.
Saw it tonight.
Very much enjoyed it.
I'm very much a fan of Jennifer Lawrence. As a person, she's a character. As an actor, she's fantastic.
Definitely better than the first, which already had me intrigued.
It's not high art but as fluff film, it's one of the better ones.
3.5 from me too.
I should also mention I've always been awfully fond of Francis Lawrence's work. I've always found it to be entertaining and touching while still balancing "Hollywood" bombast and wonderful character bits, with the exception of some badly executed moments as well.
Francis Lawrence worked on Kings, a show I will forever mourn the loss of.
Jennifer Lawrence really gave an amazing performance here. She has such a great range of facial expressions. The elevator scene was obviously great but the end shot was spectacular too.
Danny Strong is writing the last two movies. It's like Superstar come to life.
