Read our review of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Expanding the world of The Hunger Games and exploring the early days of the brutal contest and the origins of its most evil villain, this entry may have come over a decade after the first movie but is just as important as the original films. Based on the recent prequel of the same name the film follows a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) - the villainous President of PANEM from the main franchise - and his romance with a talented tribute named Lucy Gray (Rachel Ziegler). Despite the fact that it's the newest addition to the franchise, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes actually takes place 64 years before the other Hunger Games films.
