A new Hunger Games movie is in the works, based on Suzanne Collins’ upcoming fifth novel in the series, titled The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. This news has sparked interest in revisiting the previous films that took audiences on journeys to Panem, starting with the original in 2012 and continuing through three sequels and a recent prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

The franchise, known for launching Jennifer Lawrence’s career as Katniss Everdeen, a rebellious hero fighting against the oppressive Capitol, led by President Snow (Donald Sutherland), has captivated audiences with its themes of social inequality and survival.

As we reflect on the series, let’s rank the Hunger Games movies from worst to best:

1. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
   The decision to split the weakest novel into two films was a questionable move, leaving audiences with over four hours of rebellion storyline without the thrilling Hunger Games action. While some argue that Part 1 is more thoughtful, it lacks the excitement expected from an action-packed franchise.

Stay tuned for the next installment of The Hunger Games series and the continued legacy of this beloved dystopian saga.
