Film ini lanjutan dari Hunger Games pertama. Katniss dan Peet baru menang, tapi ternyata Presiden Snow belum puas. Mereka dipaksa ikut turnamen lagi yang lebih kejam, yaitu Quarter Quell. Katniss harus bertahan hidup sambil melawan sistem yang korup. Film ini cocok untuk anak usia 13 tahun ke atas, tapi sebaiknya dampingi. Adegan tembak-menembak dan perkelahian cukup intens, meski tidak terlalu berdarah. Ada beberapa karakter yang meninggal, tapi tidak terlalu sadis. Pesan positifnya kuat: keberanian melawan ketidakadilan, pentingnya solidaritas, dan jangan pernah menyerah pada sistem yang salah. Katniss jadi contoh pemimpin yang peduli sama orang lain. Yang perlu diwaspadai: kekerasan fisik yang cukup sering, meski tidak digambarkan secara detail. Ada beberapa dialog yang agak sarkastik, tapi tidak ada kata-kata kasar yang parah. Tidak ada adegan seksual, cuma ciuman singkat. Tidak ada penggunaan alkohol, narkoba, atau rokok yang ditonjolkan. Kesimpulan: Layak ditonton remaja 13+, asalkan dampingi dan diskusikan tentang kekerasan serta pesan politiknya. Untuk anak di bawah 13 tahun, sebaiknya tunda dulu.
