    What a fucking waste.

    Forget a candle, this doesn’t even hold a matchstick to the original.

    Every major plot point in this movie felt like wandering into Bed Bath & Beyond, desperately asking every employee, including the manager, what “beyond” actually means, only for all of them to respond with vague, empty assurances like, “It’s great!”—and nothing more.

    The character arcs? Totally unnatural and lacking any real progression. It’s as if the writers just slapped on some half-baked drama without bothering to connect the dots. And don’t even get me started on the soundtrack—it felt like every scene was designed around a cliché, lipstick-smeared “love me, I’m broken” note scrawled across a bathroom mirror. Cringe doesn’t even begin to cover it.

    Boring, unimaginative, and utterly pointless. It’s like the movie tried to say something but forgot what it was halfway through. Skip this one—it’s not worth the energy.

    A fun, wacky trip down prosthetic-laden 80s horror/comedy, complete with the return of some OG favorites.

    Story? What story, lol. It’s your classic “help, I’m trapped and I can’t get out” cube rescue formula, packed with irrelevant characters and way too many subplots. It’s like the writers couldn’t decide who to kill off first, so they just threw everything at the wall to see what stuck.

    But despite the chaos, it still carries much of the charm of its predecessor. By the end, I was giggling and rolling my eyes in equal measure, which, let’s be honest, is probably what they were going for.

    That said, the marketing was massively over the top. Did this really need to be shoved down my throat every time I looked at a screen? Absolutely not. Still, if you’re into goofy, over-the-top horror nostalgia, it’s worth a laugh or two.

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

    A beautifully depressing tale of unraveling psychosis, carried effortlessly by a talented cast that brings depth and authenticity to every moment.

    What makes this film stand out is its restraint—it avoids the usual trap of overloading the dialogue with intellectual buzzword jargon. Instead, it keeps the focus where it matters: on the story itself. This choice allows the narrative to shine, creating a haunting and immersive experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

    It’s rare to find a film that so masterfully balances bleakness and beauty, but this one delivers, earning a solid star for its narrative-driven approach.

    Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

    I went into this hoping to see Channing Tatum break away from his usual goofy roles, but nope—still goofy. And now I wish I could just forget this movie altogether.

    “Pompous,” “boring,” “unoriginal,” and “cliché” pretty much sum it up. Every scene feels painfully over-directed and unnatural, with dialogue so cringe-worthy and disconnected it feels like it came from a completely different movie. Even the title doesn’t make sense—it’s like they picked it out of a hat without even checking if it fit the story.

    Honestly, the entire thing feels like the product of too many cooks in the kitchen. It’s as if five separate groups of writers submitted conflicting drafts, two peer reviews mixed up their notes, and the whole mess was thrown into ChatGPT for a final polish. The result? A confused, lifeless story that feels like it’s trying to be clever but just ends up exhausting.

    The only saving grace here was the dynamic between Jess and Frida, which was actually kind of nice… but apparently not important enough to matter by the time the finale rolled around.

    Oh, and because it’s 2024, of course they had to shoehorn in something about crypto and vapes. Because why not, right?

    At least the ending was funny—I’ll give them that. But overall, this movie just isn’t worth the time.

    This movie might as well be titled “Windy with a Chance of Cuck,” because that’s exactly the vibe it gives off. It’s like someone threw a Hallmark movie into a blender with every cliché and stereotype they could think of and hit “puree.” The result? A cringeworthy mess that feels more like a parody than a genuine attempt at storytelling.

    The checklist of tropes is absolutely exhausting:

    • Sad white girl? ✅ Of course.
    • Desperate third-wheel guy who’s only there to be the audience’s punching bag? ✅ Naturally, we’ve got to make him unlikable so the plot feels justified.
    • Perfect, smiling model boyfriend? ✅ Sure, why not.
    • Out-of-town, also-perfect model “protagonist” that the sad girl just has to fall in love with? ✅ Check and mate.

    To make it worse, the dialogue is laughably bad. The actors look like they’re reading their lines off cue cards they barely understand, and the script is packed with buzzwords meant to sound profound but only manage to come off as hollow.

    And then there’s the soundtrack. Calling it distracting would be generous. At one point, I had to mute the movie entirely just to save myself from the auditory assault. Honestly, it was a marked improvement—so much so that I almost forgot I needed the audio to follow the “story.”

    The final blow? That “E-5” tornado. Forget the damage to the town—it obliterated any remaining shred of credibility this film had. This wasn’t just a disaster movie; it was a disaster of a movie. Yikes out of 10.

    Rating: 1.5 out of 5.

    This movie is a masterclass in bad decisions and disappointing conclusions. Cooper, the protagonist, seems either blessed by a god of luck or surrounded by the most shockingly idiotic individuals imaginable. Seriously, no one in this movie behaves like a functioning human being.

    The movie was enjoyable overall, but it definitely felt slow at times. The suspense that made the first two films so gripping just wasn’t there. It felt like the stakes weren’t as high this time around.

    The Creator takes a jab at the ever-growing trendy A.I. wagon — but hits a pebble and sends the whole thing hopelessly toppling over like one of those Boston Dynamics dogs if you kicked it down the stairs.

    Chaos Walking (2021)

    Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

    Chaos Walking is a dramatic sci-fi built entirely around two half-baked ideas:

    1. What if your thoughts manifested into a weird silk-screened screensaver that floated above your head 24/7 like the world’s most embarrassing Snapchat filter?
    2. What if Fahrenheit 451 and Equilibrium had a bastard child — but the hospital forgot to hand the kid a personality or any meaningful worldbuilding on the way out?
