Takes the focused story-telling of the original, expansive world-building and lore of the second, and truly breathtaking fight choreography and set pieces of its predecessor to yes… it’s true… create one of the greatest action films ever put to screen (at least from what I’ve seen). This is a behemoth of a picture, yet it never crumbles beneath its own weight and earns it’s nearly 3 hour runtime. I could go on and on about how stunning this is visually…
In the words of Greg Heffley’s dad from Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3:
Not mad. Just disappointed.
This really could have been something else, but nothing in recent memory screams more “mid” than this. Sad face.
Super flawed, but the emotional core to this was something that hit harder than most films I’ve seen in recent memory.
Wow. Jonny boy’s outdone himself. So many emotions ran through me watching this thing, and all I can say is the damn hype paid off. Insanely enjoyable, surprisingly gritty at times, and packing one hell of an emotional punch. I was considering only giving this 3.5 stars since it does get somewhat convoluted around the 2nd act, but my experience watching it was filled with so much joy that I just had to add an extra-half star. A near-perfect blockbuster!
I will it, it did get a bit worse on second viewing, and now I actually think that it’s on par with the original. Yes, the movie does feel a bit rushed (imo), and there are some questionable moments here and there, but the direction and performances made up for most of that jazz. Solid sequel!

One of the funniest & smartest films ever to be made.
Got to have another epic experience at The Revue Cinema! Literally the happiest place on earth! 😍
"The path of the righteous man is beset of all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil me. Blessed is he who, in the name of the charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you…
Sasquatch Sunset is a silly, goofy, heartfelt film that's definitely in a lane of it’s own. I’m genuinely impressed by how good, gross, and gnarly the costumes, prosthetics, and practical effects were in this. The authenticity as a whole is completely satisfying from beginning to end because of how authentic & honest it felt. The film clearly has jokes, but it didn’t even have to try to be funny. Just the fact that Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough are unrecognizable in…
