Why watch this? ... because it is the best film of the series.

Plot Summary: Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return to District 12 following their unprecedented dual victory in the 74th Hunger Games, however, their actions have unintentionally sparked dissent throughout Panem. President Snow, fearing a rebellion, forces Katniss and Peeta on a Victor's Tour to quell the unrest and maintain the Capitol's control, threatening their loved ones if they fail. Despite their efforts, the uprising intensifies, leading to the announcement of a special Quarter Quell, forcing them back into a deadly arena against other past victors.

Dad's Preview: The second film in this futuristic romp amps up everything we loved about the first. There a new contest called the Third Quarter Quell. This time the contestants are all past winners, thus upping the skill level. The most exciting element for me is the evolution of Katniss herself. The poor girl from District 12 is becoming a determined, engaging leader. Likewise, Jennifer Lawrence is becoming an actor to be noticed.
