While this unfortunately makes the prequel the lowest-scored film of the Hunger Games series as of this time, it’s not by a wide margin. Both 2014’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 and its 2015 sequel, Mockingjay, Part 2, have scores of 70% fresh. This means that The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes has a good chance of climbing past those two films to avoid having that distinction if subsequent reviews are largely positive. The original Hunger Games, released in 2012, boasts an 84% score while 2013’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has the highest score of the series at 90%.With The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, the consensus is that the casting and story are exceptionally strong, standing out as the best aspects of the prequel. Fico Cangiano of CineXpress even called the movie one of the “best The Hunger Games films,” adding in his review, “Coriolanus Snow’s rise to power story is well executed by F. Lawrence in this colder, twistier and more interesting prequel. Rachel Zegler is phenomenal as feisty Lucy Gray Baird.” Grace Randolph of Beyond the Trailer similarly stated, “Tom Blyth & Viola Davis make this prequel sing. This is the best Hunger Games movie since Catching Fire, and worth another trip to the arena.”The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Channels the Best Hunger Games Film
