Years before he becomes the tyrannical president of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow remains the last hope for his fading lineage. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow becomes alarmed when he’s assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird from District 12.

Uniting their instincts for showmanship and political savvy, they race against time to ultimately reveal who’s a songbird and who’s a snake.

Review

Tom (Guest) – A true villain origin story of good versus evil.
Gaining insight into Snow’s circumstances and the decisions that shaped him after the war was intriguing to watch but felt somewhat unconvincing.

By watching the trilogy, the outcome for Snow/the Capitol is no surprise and the story failed to provide anything new – except for historical context. It was exciting to see the Districts come to life again and for fans to learn more about the history of the Hunger Games before they were the technological marvel of the Capitol. However the character development felt rushed, despite a decent performance from the cast.

While the overall film may have lacked mystery, the musical component helped bring the story to life. 6/10
