THE BALLAD OF A BELOVED FRANCHISE
Experience the story of The Hunger Games — 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as Tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem — in THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES.
THE PREQUEL
This instalment brings together an all-new cast in Tom Blyth (“Billy the Kid”), Golden Globe winner Rachel Zegler (2022, Best Actress – Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy, West Side Story), four-time Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”), Josh Andrés Rivera (West Side Story), Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore), and Academy Award winner Viola Davis (2016, Best Supporting Actress, Fences).
THE GAMES’ DARK ARCHITECTS
Academy Award winner Viola Davis steps into the role of Dr. Volumnia Gaul, Academy instructor and Head Gamesmaker. In the Games’ tenth year, Dr.Gaul spearheads initiatives. Under her watchful eye, early versions of betting, sponsorships, and mentors are introduced to make the Games more entertaining.
CAPITOL CITIZENS
Josh Andrés Rivera, Rachel Zegler’s West Side Story co-star, plays Sejanus Plinth, Snow’s fellow Academy student and another Tribute mentor. With that mentorship, and despite hailing from a now wealthy and powerful family, Sejanus finds himself pushed into a situation that forces him to assert his allegiance and devotion to the Capitol
Product description
Everything you love about THE HUNGER GAMES began here. The prequel to the beloved franchise reveals the story of how the boy (Snow) became the ruler we have come to know. Young Snow is assigned to mentor a young girl tribute from impoverished District 12. Our reintroduction to the lush world of the Capitol is juxtaposed against the 10th annual Hunger Games. The diverse young cast shines as they challenge the powers that be to reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2024Brill, Prequel Movie to The Hunger Games Movies.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2024and sets up for the other films
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2024The hunger gams has always been a great film
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2024I'd like to say the first half of this film is really good, But the second is really bad..
With the story of Snow they could have done SO MUCH.. I even had ideas in my head what would happen in the end but it was nothing like expected! Not in a good way.. in a bad way..
The sequels don't really make sense with him wearing the white rose because of how the second half of this film turned out..
Obviously everyone knows that Snow is the way he is in the sequels but, how he became that, from a very kind and friendly person.. the first half illustrates this well but the second half doesn't make sense all.
It's just senseless betrayal.
With how close the relationships are and how kind he is, it just doesn't make sense for him to do that.. It doesn't make sense for his partner to do what she did either, They were deeply in love, They saved each others lives.
With an ending like that, It doesn't make sense why he'd wear a white rose for her.. Because it was bitter.
She tried to kill him. Then in return he tries to kill her, Senselessly. He also betrays his friend, Senselessly, Despite doing well in the military and going to good places to get a high earning for his family.
Like really.. It could have been so much better. Why did they laze off with the second half??~ The whole military saga was just a mess..
This film needs to be remade with a better second half.
Oh and, They never explain why he has a problem with his mouth, Like some sort of mouth infection due to ingesting some poison? Constantly bleeding in the sequels (the original hunger games)
We see nothing of after he becomes so successful.. missing so much.
And with how much he was kind from the beginning, Someone would like that would take alot more to compromise or break on their morals.. He just turns his back on all that randomly. It makes no sense.
Shaved head = Downhill from there.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2024If you liked the hunger game movies/ books, this is definitely worth a watch.
I’m hoping they do a second one to tie up some loose ends.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2024As a generalism, most people want to know, does this film live up to the standard of the original Quadrilogy of a novel Trilogy.
Yes.
Oohhh short review? Nah…
As a popcorn flick, it slams out of the water Godzilla style, with metaphors, siligisms, even some potentially unintended entendre, double or otherwise.
As a renaissance of the original material (film-wise), it also delivers with a semblance of apocryphal human destitution.
The end game for this review, you’l enjoy watching it. It will deliver in various levels of button pushing in the human psyche.
The laymen’s lowdown, the film gives you a clear definition early on in respect of how the privileged will realise all is not peachy. Of how the undertrod, will trod over the over people etc. Then, in the middle part, you get to realise we are all the same, just with labels. Finally, both sides can turn their feathers, to what matters most to them on a personal level, not just a defined state.
What does all that mean? Simple, you can be rich and kind, or rich an arrogant, or both. You can be poor and kind, or poor and arrogant, or both.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes hits and misses with technical (ie CGI stuff), it hits very well mostly score wise, its acting compliment is also hit and miss. The lead male actor hits, the lead female actor misses. The rest are a mixed bag, although I’d say closer to hit than miss overall.
If you love the original films, you definitely need to watch this, and should enjoy it overall, but depending on what aspects you like about the original trilogy will define how much you like this new entry.
If this review comes across a little obscure on details, thats for a very specific reason. This is one of those films you need to see for yourself to consider whether or not you like it. My parting note is this….I give this films 4 stars because I believe it to be very enjoyable, but had various aspects that could be improved upon. It would be 3 stars except for one very specific reason. Regardless of my opinion of this film specifically, there is one absolute. It makes me want more films in the history prior to The Hunger Games to be made…..many more.
Many.
