The best film in the series? The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes was so well received. The first reactions shortly after its release were extremely positive and promised breathtaking action. Even from “best Hunger Games film” was partly the talk. But what’s so good about the new franchise entry?
The fans agree: The original novel was brilliantly implemented and the film gives the main series villain additional depth. Due to his complexity, the young Coriolanus Snow is an ideal main character who you can root for, even though his actions become increasingly dark.
The rest of the cast is also great and is praised in the reviews. Rachel Zegler proves herself as the rebellious singer Lucy Gray Baird, who plays Snow in the brutal battle royal games becomes. In addition, big names like Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman and Viola Davis deliver strong performances.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a strong 89 percent positive audience reviews, while the trade press reacted somewhat more cautiously – 64 percent of the reviews are positive. Moviepilot has a solid 6.6 out of 10 points. Whether The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is the best film in the series and thus surpasses Moviepilot’s best film in the series Catching Fire to date is up to each fan.
What is The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes about?
