I… left feeling a little underwhelmed and disappointed. And it hurts to even type this review, but the movie was lacking- *something*. A nearly two hour movie was lacking depth- it seemed a bit empty and weirdly paced. For one, it felt like the acting was subpar and rushed, unlike the first movie. The older brother’s acting was still phenomenal, but it felt like he was barely in the movie, because it was mainly the girl and her astral travels. I can’t put my finger on what was missing??! But something was missing.. Two, it felt like maybe a target version of Freddy Kruger- I wished they maybe kept a bit of the originality that the first one had. But we obviously already have a Freddy Kruger , we don’t need another one. They should have maybe made the grabber come back to life or something- more scary, with hints of the supernatural. I thought they would have done more with the “ghost” aspect, like made it more scary and less, “dreamy”. It felt like the whole movie was a fever dream and it left me feeling a bit bored. The only reason for the 3 stars, is the potential that I felt the movie could have had, and for some of the sentimental scenes towards the end. It wasn’t a terrible movie but it wasn’t great like the first one. It was just… fine/better than okay, but not good.

I got to watch Tron in 3D, and my god- I was absolutely blown away by the visuals. I loved the technicolor, futuristic, vibrant aspect of how everything looked, and how fast paced the movie was, like- literally fast paced. The storyline, surprisingly, was very similar to the Barbie movie lol oddly enough. When you watch it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. But overall, I really enjoyed this movie and how colorful and bright it was. And all of the characters really played their part extremely well; the acting was phenomenal. 10/10

It’s literally just a comedic cartoon- it isn’t to be taken so seriously. But ironically, there are many episodes with themes that should be taken seriously, and taught to our younger generation. This show does that in a way that is modern and easy for everyone, regardless of age and race, to understand. I loved the original, and I love the reboot. I only wish there were more episodes per season, but I assume that’s pricey- considering how the animation production is much more advanced than it was in 2002.

I really enjoyed the last of the conjuring movies- it was jam packed with lots of action and thrill. BUT, but, I… just can’t help to point out that something was, lacking or missing. I’m unsure what. I feel like for a 2 hour long movie, it was rushed, while being a bit slow at the same time- the pacing was off. Unlike the other conjurings, there was more build up around the families that were being haunted. This one kind of lacked that climatic build up. But other than that- it was a great movie. I guess I wish the ending gave a bit more answers as to why the demon was there anyway. I won’t spoil the movie.

If you grew up watching the first one- this one will feel like watching a movie that you never knew you needed to watch. I was met with pure nostalgia, joy, and warmth while watching. I even teared up towards the end as it felt so nostalgic lol. This movie was greatly paced, with a lot of comedic scenes- the whole theater was laughing practically most of the movie. I just love Jamie Lee Curtis- she is lowkey one of the best comedians out there. And seeing Lindsey Lohan, on a BIG screen; I was never old enough to watch her early 2000s movies on the big screen, so this was a full circle moment. 10/10- definitely one of the best movies this year!

Just… bad. Lacked any type of plot. Lacked a message. Lacked a reasoning. Lacked explanations. Just a whole lot of questions, Left unanswered- bad bad bad. The only reason I gave it a two star, was because some scenes were entertaining I guess, and I only paid $6 for it ($6 Tuesdays). I feel bad for all of you who paid $20+. A waste of 2 hours, with a whole lot of nothing. Jump scares sucked. (SPOILER) clown aunt lady looked weird though. I’m confused by rotten tomatoes, with the 94% rating. Very confused. There was absolutely no meaning, or message behind this movie, no matter how hard one tries to find it. Anyone rating this over a 3, might need psychological help, or are easily entertained by plotless movies- which is still sad. And to my discovery, the same director of Barbarian also directed this movie, which just like the Barbarian- was pointless and lacked any type of theme. I will never watch a movie from this same director again. Just bad. And the narration at the beginning was already a bit cheesy for me- could have done without it.

One word- FANTASTIC. Now: I’ve never watched a Fantastic 4, before this one, so had completely 0 knowledge of who the characters were and what they were supposed to be like. The movie was action packed ( which is what I LOVE), and the plot actually made sense, and wasn’t rushed- or random. It was an emotional roller coaster with a heartwarming theme- a mother's love could quite literally move intergalactic beings 🤣. I really enjoyed this movie so much. It’s kind of what Superman should have been … 10/10- 0 complaints!

I’m sorry, but anything below a 5 star rating is completely absurd. This movie was action packed, adventurous, and a complete roller coaster ride- it was incredible. The visuals, along with the acting were also phenomenal and out of this world. I’ve just recently watched the very first, original Jurassic Park- and this one did it justice. It sure felt like the fastest two hours watching the movie- I wish it were longer. Well done! I’m convinced the 55% rating consisted of reallyyy boring individuals. I’m so glad I decided to give it a shot, and not be influenced by rotten tomatoes.

An absolutely, BEAUTIFULLY shot, orchestrated, presented- movie. I left the theater on the verge of tears. I sat IN the theater on the verge of tears, practically during 85% of the movie (where one particular scene- was the most beautiful scene I’ve ever watched in my life. You will know what scene I’m talking about). Yes, the underlying tone is supposed to be horror/thriller (which it does a good job bringing forth that energy) BUT- the message itself was more so spiritual than anything. And to all of my fellow ethnic, cultured, people of color… this movie really is for you- not *them*. Connect to your ancestors…and remember your roots. You are powerful!

It actually was a pretty good movie. I made sure to watch, without having any biased opinions towards it (like everyone else). I was entertained, and the singing was great. What else do you people expect? I couldn’t care for Rachel and what she says in interviews- she did a good job playing her role. Gal as well. Most of the 1 stars are coming from people who are just followers of trends, and want to hop on the bandwagon. The movie itself wasn’t bad at all… I hate this hive mentality.
