For a sequel that chose to weave in an old backdrop, original characters, and a similar villain, this film was AWESOME at all of that. I am rarely impressed with sequels, but Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddy Prince Jr still have it. I also loved the intro of Brandy’s character at the end. “Someone is always trying to kill that girl! I hope she’s in therapy.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️ Loved some of the new characters too, especially the blonde chick, Madelyn Cline. Stellar acting. So all in all, I was pleasantly surprised. I think I liked this one more than the originals.

Seasons 1 and 2 were excellent. The beginning of season 3 annoyed me in the beginning because I felt like a lot of the acting was cheesy, up through the hospital episode. But then it got better. The ending was disappointing though so there had better be another season. Too many loose ends. And tell the Conrad actor to start doing weights and to get some sun. He is looking a bit scrawny, pasty, and sickly...not attractive.

This show IS entertaining and at the end of the day, that is the only thing a show aspires to be. But it should be titled, "My perfect match for tonight" because it is really about a bunch of good-looking people trying each other on for size and then holding on to each other through toxic behavior in order to win a prize. There is **NOTHING** PERFECT about these matches long-term. So that part is disappointing. Maybe it should be called "Best Pick Out of What the Show Offered" instead of Perfect Match.

It is weird how much Demi has changed. She used to be an actress who was so emotionally aware and could make her audience feel anything. But she's buried herself and her heart underneath plastic surgery and as a result her acting has done the same. When she acts I feel nothing. It feels fake. Anyone who hires her is making a big mistake. I feel sad for her. Get in touch with your anger towards Bruce, Demi. Stop burying it. It is burying you and your career. It might heal your kids too.

As far as horror flicks go, this one was phenomenal. It had an original plot, believable storyline, good acting, amazing special effects, and it broke typical horror stereotypes like only allowing 1 character to live through it (I won't tell you how many do though). It was scary and interesting and will cause you to confront many of your worst fears all in one flick.

I thought the sequel was as good as the original and that is rare! I love that his entire family was cast in the movie (he has been doing that a lot lately), but he also either brought back a lot of old characters or in some way paid homage to them through new characters. Very enjoyable film and it made me LOL multiple times. I am giving this 5 stars for what it is...a comical entertaining no-brainer farce that you can probably rewatch over and over again. Good job Adam and family.

So boring I walked out of the theater halfway through. I am tired of recycled themes and Jurassic Park deserves to be king of those. I was hopeful that this would be different with Scarlett's participation but no, it kinda sucked. And the characters constantly made stupid decisions which only increased my annoyance. So yeah...I have better things to do with my day. I will finish it on a streaming service. Maybe.

The bad: I hated the recycled songs, I hated the recycled moments of time, and I hated Jennifer Connelly being cast as Maverick’s love interest. She looked about 10 yrs his senior (probably because Mav has not grown up one bit.). I also did not like the cast member who was chosen to be Goose’s son. The good: I liked seeing some of the old characters. I liked the action and fight scenes, And Tom, as much as I do not like him as a person, did not disappoint as an actor. It was awesome seeing Val reprise his role as IceMan one last time too.

I would give this 4.5 stars if it would let me. The BAD: It did not incorporate the previous obstacles of The Entity knowing their every move in advance which was hyper unrealistic, especially given their time above ground. Once again, the character of Grace annoyed me, especially in the beginning. And I think maybe it was the casting decision that irritated me the most because there is something that perturbs me about that actress' face and energy. She just always seems disingenuous which makes it hard to like her. Why they killed off Elsa to replace her with this lady as Ethan 's love interest is beyond me. Even the French Asian girl was not very interesting this time - she was a very one dimensional character for the most part. I think last film she at least had 2 dimensions. The script and storyline were confusing at times so I will have to rewatch it. But I did not understand when or why Luther ended up in the hospital. I also did not understand the timing of when he made the computer virus. The GOOD: Decent acting, nonstop action, AMAZING STUNTS 🤩🤩🤩 (seriously, super impressive)!! And original stunts too...Tom didn't just repeat old stuff like fighting on top of a train this time. I liked how they brought back a minor character from the first film and gave him a bigger role. Overall, well worth the money to see it and I will probably watch this film again at least 2 more times at some point. It was extremely entertaining. (And by the end, I had warmed up to Grace a bit finally. 🤏🏽Only took 1.5 movies to do so.🙄😉)

I would give this movie a solid 3.25 stars (I refuse to round up) because it lacked a certain 'je ne sais quoi" that the first film had. I constantly think about this franchise...when I see a tanning bed, when I see a logging truck, when I see a roller coaster. And I enjoy rewatching them, especially the first 3. In the first films (before the psycho blonde (played by Ali Larter) became the unlikeable center of attention), the characters were always putting together a puzzle, piecing together clues about how death works, seeing signs, and despite all of that, you never really knew who was going to die and who was going to be saved. I found this newest movie tried make a half-assed effort to do the same, but it fell short. I never really liked most of the characters (except the crazy grandma and her younger self). I was too distracted by thoughts of, "That lady looks like Jennifer Coolidge" and "Why does the main female character look Hispanic when her father is Asian?" and "Oh!! That is the kid from Hook!" The female cousin was a bitch to the main character from the get-go but it never explains why. The dad's acting was subpar and awkward. It was predictable. TOOOOO predictable. And maybe that is why it did not grab me. It did make me jump a couple of times, the special effects were on par, and the action never stopped much. But I guess what was lacking was any emotional connection to the characters. I didn't care when they died. And that is a problem. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Oh, and the decision to have the creepy Candy Man be the little black child all grown up was a TERRIBLE casting decision. I probably would have liked the movie a lot more if the adult was equally as cute and likeable and felt indebted enough to Iris for saving HIS life to help her family save theirs. The script writer and casting directors get two big 👎🏽👎🏽. This movie was NOT fun. The first one was a blast.
