A worthy sequel to the excellent original. Thoroughly enjoyable, exciting, was very happy to have more Jon Bernthal playing against Ben Affleck. I'd be good with an ant cubed.

Three stars is probably a bit generous, but 2 1/2 doesn't seem like enough. I had seen this way back when it came out and I thinking it was pretty entertaining, but not great. Some good moments. 25 years later I feel pretty much the same. I like Schwarzenegger, Kevin Pollock is amusing. Gabriel Byrne, not quite deciding on an accent, looks like he's having a good time playing the devil. The effects are still pretty good, although even…

I feel like since this hasn't been released yet, and people may or may not actually see my diary entries, I'm not gonna do anything spoilery. All I'm going to say is Robert Eggers has crafted yet another masterpiece, and this is a beautiful, thoughtful, intense reworking of the FW Murnau classic. The performances are uniformly excellent it's actually scary, the atmosphere is hypnotic and enveloping. Highest possible recommendation.

Competent but kind of lame; joyless, a bit of a slog. I can imagine a Scott Adkins remake that would be infinitely more enjoyable. It's not like it was badly acted, far from. The cast are all very good. But there is literally nothing fresh in this entire thing. And while it was interesting to see stark grief portrayed in an action/revenge movie, there was so much weeping that any sense of fun was completely obliterated. I don't even know if this movie was supposed to be fun. It's just kind of a nihilistic bummer. Also, the fake blood was really shitty. Wrong color.
