PUBLIC OPINION > 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Is the Most Anticipated Movie of 2013

SodaHead Film 2012/08/28 22:00:00
Next year is still a few months away, but there are already a handful of exciting movies on the horizon for 2013. We've got a healthy selection of superhero movies, including the third "Iron Man" installment, as well as sequels to "Star Trek" and "The Hunger Games." There's also an intriguing samurai flick called "47 Ronin" due out next year. Our friends at Ranker wanted to know which movie was getting the most buzz from the public.

catching fire recap

"Catching Fire," "Iron Man 3," and "47 Ronin" all came pretty close, but the sequel to last year's "Hunger Games" eked out a 3% win. It shouldn't come as a surprise, since the hype from the first movie hasn't had time to settle. It's also likely benefiting from the same force as "Harry Potter" and "Twilight": books. Whether fans read the book before or after seeing the movie, it's too late now. The hook's in deep.

Girls Love 'The Hunger Games'

"Hunger Games" isn't quite as girly as, say, "Twilight," but it does seem to attract the girls a lot more than guys. When we broke down the responses by gender, we found that female voters were more than three times as likely to pick "Catching Fire." Nearly half of them (48%) picked it compared to just 15% of males.

No 'Star Trek' for the Next Generation

Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" film, there was very little interest in the sequel. At first we thought maybe the films were just spaced too far apart, and hype had died down. However, when we looked at the age breakdown we realized it was primarily young people who ignored it. Only 9% of teens were interested.

Second Opinion: 'Man of Steel'

Of course, those aren't the only four films coming out in 2013. In fact, the Top Opinion wasn't a vote for any of them. It was for "Man of Steel," the long-awaited Superman movie directed by Zack Snyder of "300" and "Watchmen" fame, starring Henry Cavill.

    Out of all the avenger movies the first Thor was definitely the worst of the bunch. The iron man movies at least have better acting. The actor that plays Thor is God awful. I could insert my 7 year old in there and he could do a better job. This will be a $1 cheap seat movie for me if I see it at all.

    This is a good movie though (haven't read the book of it)! I gotta say hunger games was a total rip-off.

    Hunger Games was a really good movie.

    Finally saw Hunger Games. Honestly, much better than expected. Sure there's a teenage love triangle in there, but it's a rather brutal movie (something about watching kids kill each other for sport freaks me out) but at the same time, a compelling story line with some political overtones/warnings in the film (and comparisons to an overly decadent society ala Ancient Rome). I enjoyed the first one and will probably enjoy the second one. I half expected twilight, but I got the Running Man instead. Good flick.

    Oh god..... The first movie was decent. Nothing spectacular.
    And I can't bring myself to read the book. It already screamed teenage girl love story just 50 pages in.

    The "love" story is rather minor compared to the major plot that is this dictatorship-like government and it's hold on its poverty-stricken society. And what happens when that said society can't take anymore of there unfair treatment.

    What about 2016 or Phil Valentine's movie proving Al Gore and his Global Warming is a
    farce to put money in his private companies? Is that too controversial for you?

    What about the fact for two hours of my day, when I enter a theater, I choose to check out and be entertained? The real world with all of its problems and corruption are still waiting for me when I'm done.

    The middle book/film of a trilogy (or even a longer series) is often the deepest, darkest, and the best.

    Original Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back.
    LOTR: The Two Towers
    Godfather: Godfather II (the part where Vito walks up to the guy and guts him in his on home is hardcore).
    Dark Tower: Wizard and Glass (the 4th book of 7, but by far the deepest, darkest, and saddest).

    I could go on...

    They're 3 more Hunger Games films coming out all in November of 2013, 2014, 2015. You should read the books, they're even better than the movies!

    Yep. The last book is going to be a part one/part two since that is the current trend.

    Right now, from where it stands. I rather see the Hobbit or Resident Evil 5 than...ugh...the Hunger Games. Not even going to go into detail of why I like it. I mean outside of being a battle royale/Robin Hood rip off, it just doesn't have that good vs. evil that makes a timeless classic that I would remember from time to time, like the Harry Potter series were in itself.

    Of the ones I know about. I really want to see Skyfall (which is 2012 so it doesn't really count), followed by Star Trek, Christopher Nolan's Superman, then Catching Fire and Iron Man 3.....hmmm when is Thor 2 coming out? I will have to check.

    Its a pitty though that Hunger Games seems to be on its backlash (where everyone starts hating it because its to popular) its kinda irritating but thats the moronic mentality of the internet the pole may say more people wanna see it but if you look below theres far more bitching than praise. I honestly enjoyed the film if you didn't fine no one is forcing you to go see it or rent it or buy it so get over it.

    Agreed. To be honest, I didn't want to see it at first because everyone was freaking out over it, but I checked it out. One of the more compelling movies I've seen in a while. Not on my "favorites" list, but definitely a good popcorn flick with an interesting story.
  • Yoru Az... Beat Ma... 2012/08/30 00:44:08

    so true

    It's a not bad film for me just because of two things. There is the cheesy love triangle, and there is the fact that it halfway ripped two of my favorite movies off. You know which ones. I do agree that the entire metaphor of ancient Rome saves it just slightly, but this is becoming one of those cash cows like twilight and Harry potter.

    Oooo, Is it true that the main character, Jenifer Lawrence might not be acting on this movie becuz she is supposedly to 'fat' to be Katniss?! - I heard this from a friend. I hope shes wrong and has stupid info receiving-ness.

    I adore the Hunger Games and I am dead excited for Catching Fire but it's not the film I'm most desprate to see that is coming out next year.
    City of Bones 23rd August. That is what I am most desprate to see. Based of annother amazing book series.
