supertiffany Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 On 11/24/2023 at 3:28 AM, Godly said: Honestly thought this was the best of the franchise outside of Catching Fire, although I agree about the third act dragging a bit and I wasn't always 100% sold on Rachel Zegler true, was entertaining what's actually regretting is that this movie has the chance to be near Catching Fire anyway, they should continue having a movie about Snow climbing up the political ladder or perhaps a spin-off for Finnick or Joana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahzark97 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) I'd rank it 2nd after catching fire. Had such an enjoyable time watching it. The cinema was packeddNever thought I'd be interested in a prequel of Hunger Games. It only lacks an exposition on how Tigris became the way she is. Maybe shows signs of it, like in the novels she ate raw meat, etc. Small detail, but also wish they explored more on what happens with Quote Clemensia after she got bit by the snake (In the novels, she got scales) Next movie about Finnick's or Haymitch's games please Edited November 26, 2023 by ahzark97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kern Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Amazing movie. I actually loved 3rd act but I wish it was more about Lucy Gray and Snow playing cat and mouse (I don't know how it was in the book) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosTaSsSs Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 To be honest I may be one of the few who didn't love the Hunger Games. lol I feel Catching Fire was great though, but this one seems like a nice film to watch. Can anyone say if it's any better than the first four films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Slayne Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 i'm still deciding if i want to watch this. the connections to the original franchise are kind of putting me off, they seem unnecessary and are only there to bait fans into caring. i loved the books for how politics-focused they were and how individuals became important only through chance, their presence was incidental to the ideology that the Panem system ran on. i fear the prequel showing how actually this is all Snow's fault will kind of ruin it for me, but i guess i'll have to watch it before forming an opinion.

Slate Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Loved this I do think the pacing is a bit clunky in the third act but overall I was blown away. Tom and Rachel were fantastic Also obsessed with The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any interest in watching this, I think you should. I personally feel (and I’ve seen this sentiment echoed on Twitter and Reddit by non-fans) that this is a rare example of a prequel that actually felt like it added to the story of Panem and isn’t just a cash grab to get back in the Hunger Games world While in some ways it does make the events of Panem all Snow’s fault, it’s also very much so not a story of him just rising up to power and saying he wants “x” done “y” way. If anything, it still feels incidental that this is how the society of Panem functions, and Snow “accidentally” finds himself shaping the history of the world through happenstance Idk if I explained that well, but I’ll end by saying again that it’s not a cheesy prequel thats just “Snow is evil and purposely set out to remake Panem” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeFoundWill Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Ouuuuu "word of mouth working" well duh…Suzanne Collins is a MASTERMIND. A WRITER unlike other…well…TERFlop minded ppl that leave their canon up to fanfiction writers. Also finally saw a BUNCH of flowers for Mockingjay pt 2 this week. Thank god. The best out of the 4 OGs. I guess it had to marinate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
