Such a terrible addition to the franchise. Multiple issue but the biggest offenders are: Soundtrack is worse than forgettable it downright makes you want to mute the movie or simply turn the movie off. Special effects, costume choice, and props look like they are from a budget film and 100% laughable. Story plot is comparable to daytime soap opera television. Boring is one of the biggest killers of the addition. No reason to care. I could bring up other points about DEI but this is so AWFUL I don't even need to touch that aspect. Over all this has no world building and keeps trying to beat that dead horse of a "all must be accepted" while ignoring accountability for one's actions or blurring the lines between right & wrong/good & bad. Just wish i'd have never watched it.

The movie had a lot of promise but failed to reach anything original or enjoyable. The acting was rather poor along with the plot. It is obvious that there was no real direction for this film. Far too much random items thrown in because some poor SOB in a pitch meeting thought it sounded cool but none of it belonged in the same movie.

Having heard so much about this and the cast line up looks superb sadly as a whole the story felt tedious. Absolutely loved the name dropping and hints as to different characters. I'm giving it a low star count because not for the acting but the lack of story Main complains are as followed (SPOILERS): Dr Jekyll was completely under utilized. Over utilization of the Wolfman in the importance of his role in the "prophecy" which felt forced. The two fallen angles "brothers" was a nice twist of an idea but executed POORLY. The biggest complain is the lack of cross-over with the Frankenstein creatures. That felt like a side quest story line that was irrelevant to the main story. Dorian Grey was even less of a story side quest and came across as a noting more than filler and a gateway to introduce sex and LGBT representation but nothing more sadly. Lilly's vengefulness was nothing but a way for writers to preach at the audience about women's rights. In the end the scenes that should have had an emotional bombshell were a yawn at the end. Mia's death was more potent than her best friends. Lastly I'll point out the great acting: Rory Kinnear (aka John Clare) and was without a doubt the best character thread to follow in this series. Eva Green (Miss Ives) is such a show stealer that i'm unsure she could ever be a supporting actress. Her range is endless. Timothy Dalton (Sir M) If you cannot see his acting as anything less than glorious then you might want to see a doctor. Billie Piper (Lilly) the duality of the characters she played is great. I think the writing might have gone wrong for her but by God she made it memorable. Josh Hartnett (Ethan) He has his moments where his acting shines but again i'd like to blame the writers for this character falling flat (2nd & 3rd season) Reeve Carney (Dorian Gray) Playing charming and enigmatic with the believablablity of a character who is said to be "ancient" is TRUELY what Reeve's achieved. Most actors who play an immortal often come across as childish by concerning themselves with the modern day quibbles of mortal affairs but not in this case. This showed an immortal who has "been there. done that" and is looking for meaning if not at least a distraction to their never ending life. - TOTALY ROCKED THIS CHARACTER. Alun Armstrong (Vincent) There is a reason he has been around for so long. His part on stage were wonderful

A good feel good movie. Really hits the nail on the head with the collage professor being the bad guy. Willing to exploit, poison, and even sacrifice his students to suit his goals all the while condemning the "greedy corporate" guy and ignoring his own daughters agency with matters pertaining to her job. Let that sink in.

Movie was really good for a sequel. Not a ding against Jennifer Connelly but the "romantic interest " part of the film was awful and served ZERO purpose; could have been left out and the film would have been just fine. Will say to me it felt like watching Jack Reacher (played by Tom Cruise) trying to be Maverick. I mean the old Maverick was there but just less brash and more weathered. STILL GOOD just saying that was an observation

Lots of action. While story is cliche the action makes up for it. Sadly the climax is missing. Endung sucked

Wife & I had free movie pass. nothing else looked good. So we settled on "Last Duel" You know a movie about the R-word is gonna be woke. NOTE: we had not see any of the marketing only the trailer. Some Spoiler so here is your warning but an honest take of the move..... . . .... the build up is typical Ridley Scott (which is good). By the end you are actually excited for the fight which was very well shot and choregraphed. The Expected feminist tones were not as over the top as I'd expect from modern day Hollywood considering the historical time period's treatment of women. If this is being toted as a feminist movie then they really are just shooting themselves in the foot as all of the supporting women backstab the female lead. Showing that women are more likely to hurt women than men are. When/if you watch it you'll see that the Mother must have assisted in the R-word and the Friend is a R-word apologist. The males all follow the same backwards thinking of the time and I see that as portraying an accurate historical mind set than a "toxic masculinity" narrative. My only wish is that they had left this more ambiguous as to the events of the accusation instead of clearly showing it as a fact. Since Historical scholars have been debating if it really happened or not for over 600 years.

Movie had a VERY good primes but failed to follow through instead opting to follow pointless plot lines via tired tropes. The main character's objection to some of the programs is never explained so it falls flat. Her reaction is a kin to the internet ONLY being for frivolous entertainment purposes for the wealthy and ignoring all the good such as training, reform, information, commerce, ect.... Imagine the modern day internet that limited only to entertainment and nothing else. No Work from home. No on-line training. No information like Wikipedia. No online order like Amazon.

Coming from a place of not reading books or playing the game...... just watched the show. Season 1 was engaging. Season 2 assumes that you know what is going on. As a lover of various fictional lore settings this idea of different spheres being separated and having each race/monster an occupant of their own is strange but interesting however it wasn't really explained very well in the 2nd season. I think this mystery of what the girl is killed the over all engagement and enjoyment of the 2nd season. As for the political and war that really is falling flat.

First out the gate having Seth Rogan on screen what a mistake right off the bat. Not sure who keeps putting in in films but please stop. While this reboot doesn't "spit on" and "abuse" the IP it sure as hell doesn't show it any respect. Far too many changes for the sake of diversity and inclusion of "current year" really cause the movie to be rather awful. Artwork is not very good. Voice acting is subpar. Script/plot is just bad. I mean REALLY bad. Spoiler.... What they did to splinter is the greatest sin of all.
