Review by i-was-crazy-once

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

Confusing

I am a HUGE fan of The Hunger Games but this one is extremely confusing. Is this a Snow origin villain story? Does this explore how the games began? Or is it about something else? .. Well, it's unclear till the end and after.

Hated how they made this into a musical and how the film didn't delve as deeply into Coryo's close bond with his mom as the book did. In the book, Ma Plinth is portrayed as a sweet and nurturing mother figure who practically adopts him into the family, providing him with food and support. Her role makes Coryo's betrayal of Sejanus and his eventual demise even more heartbreaking.

Yes, there is something that I liked; decent/promising casting.
