Like a big mouth putting his foot in it, this didn't know when to shut up. The first Songbirds and Snakes movie is better than what I remember of the Hunger Games, but then they tack on another half movie at the end and it all unraveled for me. I was 6 stars deep through the second half of this Cornholeanus Snow origin story, but then realized there was a third half coming and I had to witness the pacing and story-telling get sacrificed on the altar of setting up a sequel. Plus, Rachel Zegler is an amazing young woman, but her excess of talent in everything she takes on does not justify turning the movie into a near-musical for her... Just sayin'.

Nope, 1 point acting, terrible, Trust me, nowadays face expressions aré not acting. No chemistry at all, they cast ppl who aré unwatchable, they look upset. 2 points, solid camera, fx 1 point script , horrible 3 boring parts, they spent more time on singing, instead showing us the war, that they mentioned all the time, plot holes, so big just to continue the saga, the snow history is remotely interesting and that's all. 0.5 just because I did not sleep 4.5 points of 10. Max points 3 per section-1 for my good taste. Skip it, or if you are fan you need to watch it the new trilogy.

So basically once again a drunken Tyrion Lannister send a Snow to the night's watch?

Not to be one of those annoying people, but honestly guys you HAVE TO read the book if you haven’t yet. The movie is great, don’t get me wrong, however, hearing Snow’s thoughts add a whole new perspective.

The film “A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” has been quite a challenge for me, requiring a considerable effort of patience to complete its viewing. From the outset, the protagonist, played by Tom Blyth, comes across as tremendously bland, completely lacking in charisma or interest. Similarly, Rachel Zegler's performance is truly unbearable, although I must admit I already had my reservations with this actress, which made it even more difficult to tolerate her character in the film. One of the main problems the film faces is its excessive length, which negatively affects the pacing and causes the plot to feel stretched out beyond what is necessary. This approach makes it feel more like a series than a movie, which can generate bewilderment or disappointment in those expecting a more compact and cohesive cinematic experience. The excess of songs is also a point that contributes to the lack of enjoyment of the film. Despite not being a musical, too many songs are included, which unbalances the narrative and creates a sense of watching a Disney production rather than a film with a more balanced approach. Most objectionable of all, however, is the film's rushed denouement. Despite its lengthy running time, the ending lacks adequate development, leaving important issues unresolved and generating dissatisfaction in some viewers who expected a more solid and coherent closure.
