βMakes perfect Requel sense.β πͺ
Letβs Unpack Hereβ¦
- Since no one has really stylized the title, Imma do it then, 5cream :)
- The most consistent aspect of the series, that dips into this movie very well, is dealing with the trope of being self aware, while having a great mesh of the genres of Horror & Comedy.
- I think they did a good job at the buildup to some the more intense/scary.
- However, the aspect that suffers is that the drama is really watered down. Not done in an over the top way, but it felt forced/trying too hard.
- In addition, I think they couldβve introduced the OG characters differently because it didnβt feel like, in my view, there wasnβt enough nostalgia (maybe itβs just me, Iβll shut up about it).
- Was it weird that I smiled through most of the movie?
Lastly, this was my first theatrical experience of 2022, and I couldnβt have asked for a better time π
