Oh what a shame to end a franchise on this…
I enjoyed Dead Reckoning, and in hindsight wish either this had been not a sequel and a completely new story to end on, or made that one the last one cus this is not a worthy follow up! 
Severely lacking in excitement or action for almost half its run time, far too much time talking, planning, looking back to the past! 
If they wanted to keep the Entity and Gabriel as the villains then they needed a lot more work, what was suggest in the past never gets picked back up with Gabriel, he becomes a complete waste in this movie! And less said about the entity the better, thus going back to thought, this should have just been a new story! Atwell who was a fresh delight in the last one is under-utilised, same with Pom, would have love to see Kirby back too! 
Such a shame this bore is how a thrilling action series decides to go out with, was everyone just fed up?!

Now that is how you do a sequel to a long running franchise! 

Possibly the goriest FD film to date! 

I liked they tried to do something diff/add to the mythology 

I now have a new bunch of fears unlocked! 

Hope the high score reviews equal bums on seats and bums on seats means high take in for the cinemas which mean another follow up!

Well this wasn’t the film I was expecting! Trailer was giving me Moon vibes, but what ended up being some over the top cringe Trump satire that went on far too long. 
Shame, wasted potential

There was potential here for something fun, there are a collection of some good scenes scattered throughout but it’s all the bits in between that need tightening up and ironing out! 
Nicholson is v good and hints here of a strong career ahead like his dad
A really good soundtrack too kept me watching

Freaky Friday, meets Talk to me, meets Bodies bodies bodies!
Fun trip, went in cold not having read or seen trailer. 
Good twists and turns

Way more talky spy thriller than I was expecting off the trailer. 
Don’t go expecting high stakes spy espionage bond or mission impossible, go more Come dine with me with added spy guests! 
Well performed but you can’t switch off for a moment or you may lose what’s being said and occurring. 
Prefer my spy film less wordy and more thrills personally

God I could write on essay on this but I’ll be restraint…(I’m sorry but I’ll never forgot or forgive those awful awful Zegler interviews, so bad they buried this movie for 3yrs in the hopes people would forget)

- that costume is hideous, it looks like some a 5yr old would buy from Main St at Disney world 
- that haircut & style deserves all the Lord Farquaad memes it’s getting, who signed off on that?! 
(And I get there trying to keep it cartoon accurate with the two points above but really?! That’s the best they could do)
- The update from Prince Charming to a Bandit from a face no one knows or will
- The ending completely changed so she’s now an empowered Princess
- Giving Doppey an arc
- The awful cgi dwarfs, if Peter Jackson can do it 25yrs ago then why do we have these cgi monsters?!
- The cut and paste musical moments that sound like cast offs from previous Disney films
- The miscasting of Gal Gadot

Ok I think I’ll stop…
Disney STOP!

They tried to do a British Die Hard and failed the moment they kept Daisy Ridley’s character 3/4 of the movie outside away from the action! Don’t bother!

Odd one, not a fan of the man but do like some of his music, had zero interest in watching a film about him let alone one where he is played by a flaming monkey but you know what, it worked?! Film totally surprised the hell out of me, do I like him after the film not really, do I understand the guy a little more, yes! 

Roll on the Stevie Wonder Walrus movie!

Wasn’t a massive fan of Longless but the trailer for this convinced me I was going to be in for a fun ride! My one complaint is that yes the trailer did give away prob 90% of the kills in the movie so either avoid the trailer or hopefully you watched it a long time ago and won’t . 
What I wasn’t expecting was for how much more of a dark comedy it would be over a straight out horror movie. Yes it has elements of Final Destination but not enough for it to be just a clone of the series. 
Not all elements of the movie work all the time, the family element is slightly over rammed down throats but it is what holds the plot and story together. 
Still really enjoyed though and would love to see a follow up with this demonic monkey 
Kinda a 3/5 film but also worthy of 4/5 so sod it!

Solid enough streaming movie at the end of the day. Had it been a cinema job maybe not so much! 
Deff gave me “based on the video game” vibes with Last of Us/Resident Evil as part contenders. 

Possibly would of worked better as a one off mini series fleshing things out a little of 8-10eps

Deff not as bad a some reviews have made out but certainly nothing to be shouting about or celebrating! 
Its been well documented the journey this film has been through, the poor press screenings and reshoots, sadly nothing really fixed this into the film it should be or what marvel really needs right now to shoot some excitement back into the superhero genre! 
It’s more of a 90s political espionage thriller than your typical marvel movie, I can see what they were trying to do but it needed to be brought into this century to work! More of a Hulk sequel than a Captain America sequel too! Really struggled with its identity. 
Watchable but forgettable… 
Roll on Thunderbolts and Fantastic 4 in the hopes of reigniting the Marvel MCU or we can almost call it a day…

So a film about a killer who kills couples…
And then only kills two couples?! 🤦🏻‍♂️
Ok so there are other murders but if that’s going to be your motto, then kill more couples in fun inventive ways! 
There is too many dull moments, the ratio was off on time spent with the rom com aspect and the killer. 
The final 15mins killer reveal felt like it was trying to be Scream
Don’t think this film is franchise worthy, wait for it on streaming

Good to see two of the Goonies back together on screen!

Aimless in-cohesive mess of a movie… what was this?!

Proof that not everyone can be an actor just cus they want to

There is a lot to ire here, do all the pieces work together…questionable but it has potential 
Hunter and Steven’s are great in their respective roles. Some good spooky horror setting, vibes, production, sound etc just wish it all gelled a little bit better than it ended up

An interesting concept that just didn’t work! 
You never really feel invested in anything going on. The single framing makes the movie almost play/theatre like but makes every scene feel more forced than needs to. And the silly framing/editing tech was not subtle enough and takes you out any moment occurring.

Well that certainly was bleak, dark, cold and dirty. Feel like i need a hot bath after that!
A very subdued performance by Murphy, it’s hard to say you really enjoyed this movie, it’s very slow, little happens and it’s so bleak it’s a hard slog to get through!

The most obvious twist in history of twists….💁🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

A real half and half movie!
One half I’m smiling and laughing a long with the movie, then the other half I’m all depressed and hate that we all get old! 
Not sure I want to be contemplating life during a movie before going to bed but here we are! 
Well done at 93 to be making such a film, she was fab as was the relationship she had with her grandson.

Neither women deserved you Liam!

I’m struggling to understand and the 3* and above scores for this movie! The opening 5mins are the only moments of terror, everything after that is just rather dull and edited in such a way any sense of tension is just lost! 
4 murders are given like 5-10mins of screen time each, the bulk of the movie is set on the dating game show part where other than having a mildly scary experience with the murder after the show actually amounts to nothing?! It’s all very aimless other than to say something about misogyny! 
Just didn’t work for me at all!

Not so fast Charlie…
And those accents…

Who wouldn’t want to watch a 6hr docu on 90s horror movies?! Totally my jam! Roll on part 2

Not a ballsy and bloody as trailer made out, it did have some good moments, a couple of surprises that thankfully didn’t get ruined in the trailer but it doesn’t quite hit the special spot that will make it a classic

Big Almodovar fan but this just didn’t do anything for me…

Another film where the start is well set up but sadly the 2nd half falters. 
The location, atmosphere are beautifully shot and an ideal location for a folk horror film but sadly just missed the mark for me.
Also if you’re gonna hire Rory McCann at least keep him around for more of the film than he sadly got!
