Catching Fire, in theatres November 22nd

Are you one of those people who cannot wait to see the second installment of The Hunger Games? Well good news, there is only 27 days remaining until it opens in North American theatres on November 22nd 2013.

"Catching Fire" will be sure to have many young archers in the movie theatre - but to be fair, Katniss Everdeen really does very little archery in the films. In the first film she only shot an arrow 13 times.

Compare that to other films like The Avengers (23 shots by Hawkeye), The Fellowship of the Rings (22 shots by Legolas) and other films that have a lot more archery in them. The Hunger Games is more about the drama - which admittedly is the real reason why people are watching it.

But hey, the drama is very good. And the archery is good too. So maybe there is less archery in the film, but it is still a very good film.
