REVIEW: The 5th Film by the Hunger Games Franchise is set as a prequel to the first film and might have yet another prequel connecting to the first Hunger Games known to us.

A new star-cast but a known setup will have you longing for the battle of supremacy. But the film is about the rise of a character with the actual Hunger Games taking a backseat. The film has good performances with very few scenes with a WOW factor. The actors have done a good job but the plot is a little weak. The tricks are less fancy. The film starts off well gathering interest but fails to impress with the elements of surprise as the previous films.

The fans of the Hunger Games series would find it compelling to know the plot that led to the modern Hunger Games.

Enjoy!
