It was alright, I’d love to see a Movie Based on Haymitch’s Hunger Games.

It stuck to the book where it counted and did an amazing job of turning a very thought centric book into a movie

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Makes me want to go back and watch The Hunger Games again paying more attention to Snow's and Katniss' interactions.

It started off promising but that one Actress could NOT pick her characters voice throughout the entire movie and some of them lines were so so bad 😂 the way the final chapter of the movie felt so so rushed

While it was fairly predictable, due to our knowledge of how the rest of the movies play out they did a great job of keeping it. Interesting the entire movie.

it was nice to see how tigress and snow got their beginnings. it was a bit slow but has some great points that they can pick up from for another prequel if they choose so.

The movie felt like if it was a musical. The acting wasn’t the best. It felt there was no plot and they just tired making something.

It wasn't that great. I kept waiting for it to end. plus I don't like glorifying psychopaths.

I think a super boring movie should be titled the LUCY GRAY musical. The first movies were much better than this one. pity

A good prequel. Enjoyed it a lot more than 2012 The Hunger games.

I expected a little more actionable and some explanation on who Lusy Gray was later on

I watched the Hunger Games franchise on opening night when I was younger, and it brought back so much nostalgia seeing this one. The cast was amazing and the films always capture the essence of the books.

five stars, It felt a little rushed at times but I loved the references to the original hunger games and loved how it stayed true to the book.

A good prequel to the Hunger Games franchise. I liked the actors / actresses but the storyline was a bit murky and left a questionable ending. Action, drama and cinematography was outstanding as expected from these series. Overall it did not match the originals.

Disappointing. Slow, drawn out, and unexciting. Total love story movie with a hint of hunger games thrown in. Felt like a 3+hr movie but was less than 2. I almost left an hour in.

HG: The Ballad . . . has all the points in the history of humans needing to witness sacrifice. As sad as it is, humanity thrives on "The Game". A must see for young adults 20& up.

I actually loved it, wished they split the movie in two to add more from the book but was still an intense, fun movie!

Seek out The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It’s deeply mesmerizing and engrossing. You will not be disappointed in this trip to the Districts.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds Snakes, directed by Francis Lawrence, strives to offer spectacle, drama, and excitement. But it’s really just a tired rehash, albeit an extravagant one, this time with less appealing characters. As dystopias go, it’s a real bummer.

It’s a sharp, exciting movie — one that finally gives YA dystopias the ending that the genre trend deserves.
