Confession: I’ve never watched any of The Hunger Games movies… until now.
I honestly don’t have a good excuse for why it took me so long to check these movies out (and I know some might consider my actions criminal). But I must say that experiencing this saga for the first time through a 2023 lens was an interesting (…enjoyable, nail-biting, and anxiety-inducing…) experience. Plus, with the release of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes, now was as good a time as any to check out the original Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay: Part 1, and Mockingjay: Part 2.
