Imagine a studio has a hot streak, it ain't broke, so they fix it. What do they fix it with? They decide "what if we do a remake of the WORST 'Scream' film?" and I actually LIKE Scream 3! At least it did those twists first as well as other ideas that were fun. It's not a great film, but I'd argue better than this one. Worse yet, this film is overlong and slow as sin. There's a couple of good action sequences, the cast is good, and treating it's female lead as more than it's male leads disposable condom are all great. The cinematography is decent too, but all this is wasted with the stupid twist done decades earlier and better in the film mentioned earlier, as well as a tendency to become formulaic, which HORRIFIES me. I HATE what this movie does to this movie's villain. It's too nostalgia-baity and pandering. I give this a 4/10. I'm scared No Time To Die might be just as unoriginally stupid from what I've heard. Fingers crossed that those people were lying or that movies' gonna suck. And I love Sam Mendes, Cary Jori Fukunaga, and Danny Boyle as directors! I think Skyfall is the best Bond film, but Specter might be one of the worst.

I wish I could give this a high score, but 7 out of 10 stars is generous for a film that fails to emotionally engage or give us enough action, character depth, story, or uniqueness to be truly memorable, instead it's forgettable and boring. Clint Eastwood is great, and I like it's deconstruction of masculinity and the irony/maturity of Eastwood delivering it, but there's too little of moments like that, instead we get terrible parents, a boy who doesn't want the life he gets, and Eastwood doesn't "save" anyone or even die predictably. It's just kind of a well-made but kind of nothing film.

It opens good, then turns terrible by the end of the first act, but by the halfway mark makes it's way back to redeeming itself and then finishes STRONG with it's third act being worth price of admission. It's either a 6 or a 7 out of ten. Just be warned about that SHAKY chunk around a third into the film is a pretty rough patch, when characters are flying around after they get shot unrealistically like they're cartoon characters, it takes you out of it, that first action scene is the worst part of the movie but the other action scenes are good.

It's hard not to be at least a little disappointed with some of the creative decisions the team makes here, but James Gunn still made a great film.

Definitely one of the best films of the year, easily a 10/10.
