Cool 60's soundtrack
A classy Thriller
Finally got to see this on Sky cinema as I missed it at the cinema. This is a very good thriller. It has a very strong ensemble cast line up, Jeff Bridges stands out. A bi-state Motel, which has long seen better days, is the backdrop as a group of strangers check in, all with something to hide.
The Motel set adds a cool and quirky location and the soundtrack is great. As the reasons for each of them being there unfold we get a slick, stylish thriller with a slight noir touch to it. You don't even notice the long run time, which is always a good sign the story has you hooked in. The ending maybe stopped it from being a classic for me but it's still a highly enjoyable film.

Story is not as good as the first film
Not Wonderful, but good
So finally available on Sky Cinema, missed this at the cinema due to lock down. I had high hopes after the first film was excellent and more like some of the better Marvel films. Often DC struggle to match them.
This was a fun film, I enjoyed the '84 setting there are a few good action scenes. Also Kristen Wiig had a fun character.
However it's a little way short of the first film. The villain wasn't that interesting, with a weak show down and the overall story wasn't as interesting. Some of the Sfx weren't up to the standard of the first film either. So not bad as an action film but not on a level with the original film.

Gaston was bad ass but still guiltily lovable
loves it!
I'll be honest this was my favourite Disney movie and I was worried the movie would suck. So when it was AMAZING I cried in the movie theater along with every other female in the cinema at the time it was great!

If you’re looking for something a bit deeper then give this a wide birth but if you don’t mind a few predictable story lines combined with some decent fight scenes and action sequences as well as the reliable Reynolds humour then give this a go.
