The worst of it is that the movie is taking itself so seriously that it's going into CAMP territory. And not in the iconic Mommie dearest camp. I think this will flop in the box office for sure. At least I hope so, because this is a disgrace. I was prepared to love it, since the critics DEFILED it as a piece of trash weeks ago. I thought this was going to be some misunderstood masterpiece, but no... It's Lady Gaga taking over the Joker and acting like she is ACTING. Some of the scenes looked like a parody of the original movie. SCARY bad.

A remarkable quote from the same article, it polled worse than Megalopolis!

"the fanboys full-out rejected the sequel last night on PostTrak with a 1/2 star and 40% positive. Holy guacamole, Batman. Did the Megalopolis cynics show up last night? Because that’s the same Thursday night grade (actually 45% positive) that the Francis Ford Coppola-directed $120M dystopian epic received a week ago before inching up to one star on PostTrak."

We just watched it... since it's out today.

WOW...I can just say... WOW.

I've never gotten so creeped out during a movie... ever. It's not a HORROR movie, there a no jump scares, but it f-cks with your head more than the scariest movie you can imagine. And the acting - this is how it's done. Brava. Brava. Brava. One of the best serial killer movies EVER. 

10 out of freaking 10!

If I could... I would give it 11.

WATCH IT. IT'S on Netflix starting today!

And you know what...? Outside of the hook ('Is Tamera here?'), it doesn't seem like a remake at all. Reboot, but I am finding it highly enjoyable.  So I don't understand the hate, either.

Ha! Great to hear that someone else liked it too. It really got so much hate...   Yes, it was not some prime thriller or some deep meaningful cinematic experience... but it was fun suspenseful flick.

I remember and said that to you, too. But...I don't get it. It really was fun and suspenseful. In a way, it opened up the story a liiittle (but not too much) more than the original.

 

While I love my deep movies as someone who loves independent movies very much, even I have movies that are just...there. When I see a Resident Evil movie back when they came out regularly, I went to watch because 1) I don't like zombie movies, 2) I expect to see Milla kicking serious zombie butt, and 3) the action is usually superb and the set-pieces are to die for, and finally 4) the plot ain't that deep though I love a good plot twist.

 I expect nothing else...either I like it or I don't. Usually, I love them. In fact, I'm overdue a binge...lol. 

 

And I'm invested enough to see the sequel which has to do the job of a good sequel and expand the universe the story is taking place in. But I feel confident they will do that. I'm just worry that the hatred for the first one might dismay anyone from seeing it.

Wow... this was my reaction nearly half a year ago... I was seeing all the negative press about Blake Lively... that is now... revealed to have been an orchestrated smear campaign. Then and now... I believe her. Shame on the people that tried to destroy her. They will never succeed.
