I recently watched
Hunger Games and today followed up with
Catching Fire. Really an excellent series, I can't forgive myself for missing it out when it first started.
Truly fantastic characters (it's already rare enough to find a genuine female lead, but it did a particularly good job at avoiding and even subverting sexist tropes), and a very well-thought premise (one of most creative ideas in recent times for an apocalyptic future with disturbing elements from modern society). If these are adaptations, I can only imagine how good the original books were.
The awful thing is that I'll have to wait for a while to see the conclusion.
