Now, movie fanatics have a great way to spend their weekends, joining others in the theaters for the new addition to the Hunger Games series. On many different platforms, the producers had four movies available previous to this one, The Hunger Games, The Hunger Games Catching Fire, The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part One, and The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part Two. Now in theaters is the prequel to these 4 movies, The Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
Since the movie is set in a time well before all of the other movies, it gives viewers a chance to see the character development of well-loved characters like Snow. This amazing factor ties together all of the other movies perfectly, giving the reasoning behind the decisions made in the other movies. This allows the readers to connect the dots between the character’s past and their future interactions.
This movie not only entails the answers to questions that arise in the other movies but also delivers itself with an immense amount of thrill. With each scene, the viewers are left on the edge of their seats begging to see what is next. From, the obvious feelings the main characters have for one another, to the tensions between every other character, the movie is scripted with a perfect balance of love and hate.
