I just saw the movie...with no expectations. And I couldn’t wait for the story to actually start to get interesting at first ( I thought I made a mistake and should’ve seen Venom or Bohemian Rapsody instead...)
SPOILER ALERTS!!!
Then the super long, detailed violent first scene came, along with the endless dance sequences. It did start to form somewhat of a story line soon after, but was confusing as heck (I had never seen the 1st original).
Dakota was good enough for the part, but was not engaging enough, a bland, monotone character if you ask me. But Madam Blanc made up for it. She was incredibly believable and quite enchanting, in an eerie way of course. After the movie, I read that the actress played 3 parts, all amazingly well (didn’t know it was her). I would nominate her for best-supporting actress. There was so much rain and snow, but litte comic relief, that came in the form of one of the witches in dark sunglasses... It seemed unecessary and cheapened the movie (they should have left the glasses out). I’d give it a 2.5/4.
Anyway, long story short, the movie was EXTRA long, and maybe if I had had expectations, I wouldn’t have liked it at all.
But if you like gore and artsy cinematics, it’s right up your alley.
I didn’t care to stay after the credits, but it seems there’s an after credits scene ( maybe you can tell me if I missed out?)
BTW- does anyone know what Susie secretly took from the desk when she and Sara were snooping around?
And I’d like to get my hands on one of those red rope numbers. Any suggestions where?
