I'll just watch Battle Royale.

I thought the 2nd one was much better than the first one. (I share this opinion of the books too). The first one is a fun popcorn movie. While this one is a imo pretty great.

I thought the first one was Battle Royale-lite. While this one develops it's own world really well. Also like mentioned above, the directing was better, no shaky cam and things like that.

I'd give 
Hunger Games 6/10

Catching Fire 8/10

I wouldn't say "amazing", but it was really good. The first hour or so was excellent, the costumes and sets were amazing, the subtext was interesting and Jennifer Lawrence was great, but it ended too abruptly for me and I didn't really feel much of a climax.

I didn't care for the first one, but after seeing this I love where the series is going, and I actually can't wait for mockingjay.

just got back and wow, really really good.
