The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
A Movie for intelligent people
No of course Katniss isn't in it. The singing is integral to the story, how can you complain about it? It seems many criticisms people are writing about this movie are simply due to individuals not understanding/processing the plot of the film and making judgments based on a lack of comprehension.
This movie is a worthy addition to the Hunger Games franchise, satisfying the one question I had coming into it: Why is Snow such a psychopath?
Additionally, we get to see another (old fashioned) Hunger Games which we've been waiting for, for nearly a decade!
Having not read the book before seeing this film, it really enlightened me to information surrounding the society of Panem that I was previously unaware of / ignorant to.
Not a perfect film, but a very good one nonetheless. 8.5/10 at least! I pray there's more to come from Suzanne Collins' mind.
The Batman (2022)
100% Satisfied
Pleased. Satisfied. Expectations exceeded. 10/10. Story was well considered, dialogue was 95% audible (which is good for an loud action movie), quality fight scenes and an iconic car chase. Acting was all round solid. Robert Pattinson was a bit emo-ish, but I didn't mind it, as it made him appear slightly more menacing and a bit unhinged, adding depth to the character.
The wet dystopian Gotham city was highly atmospheric and eye-catching throughout. The film's score was second to none. Not a perfect film, but a massive upgrade from the Batman Vs Superman shambles (a movie I haven't seen, but have heard bad things).
