"The Hunger Games - The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes'
Just finished watching "The Hunger Games - The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes' released by Lionsgate.
Mom and Dad were huge fans of "The Hunger Games" movies when they came out, and I got Dad the original box set of the hard cover novels, which he read. I enjoyed the original movies too, so when "The Hunger Games - The Ballad of Songbird & Snakes" originally was published in hardcover, I did get it and enjoyed reading the prequel novel. I should point out that it was published back in 2019.
"The Hunger Games - The Ballad of Songbird & Snakes" follows the descent of Coriolonus Snow from a somewhat decent person trying his best to help the remains of his family survive, to his descent into becoming the ruthless individual he was in the original series.
The movie adaptation is pretty much faithful to the book, but it's filmed in odd Stanley Kubrick style, that makes it rather weird as if you're watching a documentary.
It also failed at the box office and DVD and blu-ray sales didn't exactly reach high numbers.
It's not a bad movie, and it might have actually done well, if released after the last movie. It just lacks the vibrant intensity of the original movies.
Recommended for fans of "The Hunger Games" series, but if you don't see it, you won't miss much.
Three Stars.
