I am someone who is not swayed by "critics" or rotten tomato scores. I didn't even really have any expectations going into this movie. As someone who grew up playing Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World etc., I was really just going to see this movie based on nostalgia and it does deliver on nostalgia. The visuals are stunning, and while everyone has their reservations about Chris Pratt the voice acting is perfect (except one for one elderly character). While many have said this movie moves quickly or "too fast", I would say it has great pacing and never leaves you bored. While it is not a perfect film it leaves little to be desired. It is everything you want from an animated Super Mario Movie.

My first viewing of Scream 6 was much more enjoyable than my first viewing of Scream 5. There is a cohesiveness to the cast this time, and the returning actors have definitely stepped up their acting. Tara and Sam feel like final girls and I love that character development. After some time and viewing Scream 5 a fourth time I have finally come to truly enjoy it. However, it only took me one viewing to enjoy the newest entry in the Scream franchise. The script follows what was set up in the previous sequels before it (i.e. The killers) unlike Scream 3's Ghost Face. The setting is a nice change of pace that doesn't feel trite. There are set pieces and sequences that really build suspense in true Scream fashion which was missing in part 5. The apartment ladder scene and Gale's Ghost Face fight will become fan favorites.

The film does ask for quite a bit of suspension of disbelief and seems to be scared of killing any charters off besides ghost face and non-essential characters which is something I missed from Scream 5. The film could've been 10-20 minutes shorter just to help it feel more concise. Also, lets stop with the Billy hallucinations.

This film was no where near perfect, however, it was a good ending to this new trilogy. It is definitely better than Kills (no more "evil dies tonight) but was not on par with Halloween 2018. While the pacing was off and some of the editing choices were interesting it took a step in a new direction which I appreciate. We get to see a young man who is wrongfully accused of murdering a child he babysat turned into a monster and become the new boogeyman. While the didn't follow through with that in the end I believe it still worked, however, it would've been nice to establish Corey in previous film. We get to see Laurie much more through the movie but sadly we don't get enough of Micheal. The finale is what really made this movie for me, while it wasn't a scary film more of a thriller the last 30 minutes had me blighting my nails.

Let me start off by saying this movie isn't actually a bad movie. BUT when it's presumably the "last" movie of an iconic franchise a lot is expected. This movie felt generic and honestly the returning characters are the only reasons why this felt like a Scream movie.

Cons: There was no suspense to be found and the magic created in the original is something that can only be created once. There was no reward in this movie, Billy Loomis' daughter isn't enough because it doesn't serve as anything more than fan service. We're not surprised when it's the boyfriend at the end and the best friend, we need new content and for the love of god motives that make sense or at least good. The new characters had no character development so we didn't get to connect we just saw what felt like random people being brutally murdered by other random people.

So by the end of the movie when the killer reveal happened I wasn't phased because I was trying to remember who this girl was? Even the returning characters' stories were unfulfilling. I was hoping that by the end there would be a 3rd killer twist, maybe even the girl who got the 1st call but nope the boyfriend and best friend are the killers trope with some half-baked reasonings.

Pro: This had the bloodiest deaths! Furthermore, the deaths were not creative or suspenseful, I wanted getting killed in a movie theater or getting jammed in a garage door, Scream signatures that provide NEW and creative content not just gore.

If there needed to be a sequel to 2018 then this should've been the ending to this storyline that tied it up. Actually, Halloween (2018) was so well done that could've served as a stand-alone sequel. However, they made this into a trilogy and now this movie just feels like filler.

This movie just does not flow as smooth and the acting is not as urgent as that of its predecessor. Jamie Lee Curtis also falls short in the scenes that she is even in. Jamie's lines seem to be somewhat disingenuous and not delivered well and that goes for Tommy, Karen and other characters. Another major flaw includes the tone of this film, it feels like down right satire sometimes from the deaths to the mob mentality and trite chanting. Also, can the writers decide if Michael can or cannot die? He got beat to death by the mob and then at the last second he automatically resurrects because the writers need a sequel. It's lazy.

This was great maybe even better than the first, maybe! I loved all the added action and new superheroes. I actually loved the villain I thought it was quite clever how they created her and how she was the mastermind that just controlled everybody else. And this movie actually included JackJack and I loved every minute of him figuring out his powers.People are overthinking this animated movie and trying to twist in their political points of view and getting offended over nothing. There's nothing to make of this movie other than it's another classic Pixar movie!

I was going into this movie with high expectations because the trailers looked amazing. I was a little nervous because many movies have let me down contrary to their great trailers. HOWEVER, this movie blew my expectations out of the water.

This movie left you guessing until the very end about who the secret messager is, who is Blue? I was so relieved to see that it was Bram (played by Keiynan Lonsdale) even watching the trailers I knew he would be a perfect love interest. Nick Robinson smashes the lead role and brings you to emotional highs and lows. Speaking of which brings me to Jennifer's Gardens speech probably the BEST lines of the movie, "I could feel you holding your breath...you get to exhale now Simon" literally still brings tears to my eyes. Even though you don't get to see the two love interest interact face to face until the last moments of the movie it still causes sparks and goosebumps. This is the most emotionally attached I've ever felt to a movie. I walked out of the theater so happy and full joy. This movie is so important and it definitely did an amazing job fulfilling the void of lgbt big budget movies! Maybe the small face to face interaction between the love interest left a door open for a sequel! GO SEE THIS NOW and then watch it again!
