8 Mind-Blowing Moments From The Hunger Games: Catching Fire New Trailer

4. Katniss In The Training Room

Catching Fire 7 You might often find that the best and most memorable bits in any movie about somebody having to come to terms with being a hero or gaining new powers are those scenes where they actively train and try out their new abilities. You know, like when Peter Parker gets bitten by the radioactive spider in Spider-Man, the most exciting part of the movie (and the bit you're always looking forward to seeing before you head into the theatre) consists of those scenes where he has to deal with all his new skills, which quite often results in a few screw-ups. We've seen how skilled Katniss is already, of course, mainly because she was already awesome with a bow before the first movie even started - she was hunting in the outback like a pro in the first scene, after all. Good as she is, though, Katniss is about to meet her biggest challenge yet in the new, twisty version of the Hunger Games, which means that some added training is going to be necessary. So it's nice that we've glimpsed her going up against a trident-wielding virtual enemy in the new trailer, confirming that - yes - she still has a lot to learn. And also because these scenes are almost always the most fun to watch, right?
