No, the games last for roughly an hour. I'd say the Victors Tour goes for 30-40 minutes, the whipping and District 12 ones go for at least 20 minutes, and then 25-30 minutes of Capitol scenes before the games.
Critics have mentioned Katniss's PTSD, do we signs of it n the movie like does have any freak outs and stuff. Also, how was the jabber jay scene? Were there any moments in the movie where things are happening but there's no sound? (ei: cornucopia bloodbath from THG)

Her PTSD is addressed right on the very first scene of the movie. Katniss is hunting
and as she shoots an arrow she has a vision of Marvel dying, and then freaks out and Gale calms her down.
The jabberjay scene was great but very short, it was only there for the sake of being in the movie. There are no moments where the sounds go off like THG's cornucopia.
Do we see Annie Cresta, since the cast list included her?
There's a tiny glimpse of her when Katniss and Peeta are being instructed by Haymitch and he shows footage of the reaping when Mags volunteers in her place.
Do the tributes hold each other's hands at the interviews? What was ur favorite section/part of the games?
Yes, they do! It was a great scene, and it shows Snow's reaction to it later. My favorite parts of the games were probably the spinning Cornucopia and/or the deadly mist scene. The finale was incredible as well,
Katniss being risen from the crumbling arena was beautiful
How is district 13 mentioned? Who was ur favorite supporting character? What was their best scene?
It's actually hardly mentioned at all before the ending. The whole "bird in the shot" subplot was completely cut. My favorite supporting character was definitely Johanna, she was absolutely awesome. She steals pretty much every scene she's in, but I must say her highlight is the Ceasar interview.
Oh, and Yony, I don't know if Matt said that to you already, but Catching Fire score is really beautiful. Knocked the one from the first movie out of the park, by miles.
Quaalude fight: because drunk fight is too mainstream.
Do we see Wiress' throat get cut and is their a fight before the spinning cornucopia? What was ur favorite scenes and what were the most emotional scenes? @fawke83
Oh yeah, one nice addendum: remember all those little flaws the general public and the fans saw? Like, how in the public's mind, Katniss was in love with Peeta (yeah, there were people that understood that), or for the fans, why in the first movie, there no Helicarrier to take the dead bodies from the arena? Well, guess what, they fixed it all. I'll leave for you guys to see it.

First of all: sorry guys, that one up there was my fault, should've put it in spoilers box. If it depends on me, you can stay in this thread, all kinds of spoiler will be hidden.
Well...
See, literally, no, we don't, but it plays exactly like the book: she's singing, she stops singing suddenly and gasps, Gloss seems to have pierced her with a knife or something, and then there is the fight between the two groups, as you asked, right before the Cornucopia spinned. As I said, who hits and who kills who, goes exactly as in the book.
My favorite? Shit, there are a lot, honestly. But I enjoyed much of the first act, which played nicely and was damn better than the book. But I'll be lying if the whole Quarter Quell wasn't still my favorite part. Everything that happens there is really nice.
Emotional? Basically all that was in the book, Katniss speaking to the parents of Rue and Thresh, and the whole aftermath, Cinna's beating, Katniss discovering that there is no more District 12, not to mention a lot more. Really, it was the most faithful script I've ever seen to a book, but one that cared about enhancing it, not only copy.

Can one of you please say how Annie is in the movie? OLTMJ said that she is but isn't in the movie after the cast list came out. My theory was that it's just her voice during the Jabberjay scene?

There is a scene where Haymitch is debriefing Katniss and Peeta on their competitors, and when he talks about Finnick and Mags, it shows the scene of their reaping, with Annie being picked but Mags volunteering on her behalf. It is really quick actually, almost stuff of "blink-and-you'll-miss".

I haven't heard anything about the scene where she finds out she's going back in the arena? What's it like?
[spoiler]The whole scene is nice, not over-the-top like some people expected. Right after the announcement, she goes running to the woods and start to cry, while Peeta frozes and Haymitch gets pissed and throws his glass on the screen.

I'm the only one who think that Lionsgate is losing it? They we're very careful to not spoil anything big in the first film. And now in the second one, they directly spoil about the Quarter Quell, and they even showed the spinning Cornucopia.
Imagine if they would have send the DVD trailer for THG showing these spoilers.
I agree, they've shown a glimpse at all the big moments in the arena. The fog, monkeys, jabberjays, tidal wave, spinning cornucopia, beach scene, the finale, and the bloodbath.

It is true, but I guarantee you, it's just a glimpse. Do not worry kiddos, the best is still hidden.

Besides, it is darker than the first film, without a doubt.
And man, what a great film. If it wasn't for Gravity, I'd surely call Catching Fire the blockbuster of the year.
