Where is the dialogue?
There there is very little dialogue in this movie. Nearly all of the movie is a gun fight or fist fight. But wbyyyyyy?
It's endless violence on violence. Basically, if you've seen Peter Griffin fight the chicken on Family Guy, you've seen this movie, just a little government corruption added to the mix.
If you're in the mood for relentless violence, you might like this movie. Other than that, the whole thing is pointless.

Peter Weir's 2003 Napoleonic naval epic, based on the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'brien and starring a post-Gladiator Russel Crowe alongside a PRE-MCU Paul Bettany.
And, like the books, I found this to be quite slow and heavy going: nice visuals, definitely, and some tense moments, but the connective 'tissue' very drawn out and just, well, boring.
Hornblower this isn't.
Your mileage may vary on whether that is a good thing or not.

An absolute piece of SHIT! A raging dumpster fire! The material bears no resemblance to anything Lovecratian or Mythos-related! This author just threw an excessive amount of unwarranted of profanity as well as infidelity and a slew of other unneeded plot devices! Seriously? Avoid this one like f'n COVID-19! You want a modern twist on Cthulhu Mythos? Read Darrell Schweitzer's CTHULHU'S REIGN! At least the writers of the stories in that collection know how to write!
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Tempting Evil (Riley Jenson Guardian, #3) in Books

Coming into a series three books in was not a good idea, I had no background info about her brother or her lovers or the guardians. I was just suddenly knee deep in a story that I was enjoying up until about the 150 page mark when she was suddenly having sex with almost everyone and I felt like I'd missed something (which since it's the third book, I obviously had). Therefore i'm giving it three stars.

Disappointing
I always enjoyed the Addams family, from the original TV series to the 2 live action films, I was hoping for more from this animation, it had a great cast, even the look and feel of it seemed right. However the finished film is terrible in my opinion, its a terrible story that feels very disjointed, I didnt like the way characters acted and I felt this was just a recycled predictable story

ARC That drew me in from start to finish
Mister North has delivered once again! Just as expected, he took me on a grim adventure with many twists and turns. You can never quite figure out where it's going next and never see the final plot twist coming. I also loved the little reference to Whisper man, I like a good easter egg. I can not wait for Alex North's next book. I devour them from cover to cover.

Second time watching this film. I didn't dislike it as much as the first time I watched it, but I just can't help feeling so uncompelled by this story. And don't even get me started on the songs. There are like two memorable songs in this movie and those are the only two I really enjoy. Visuals are nice in this but it's obvious that Disney wanted to shovel this out since it was their last 2D film.

2 is probably still too generous...
I feel like I'm being very generous giving this film a 2, but this was absolutely awful.
Bad casting, bad acting, bad script,bad plot, just bad everything. Tom Cruise was atrocious, and some of the humour in this was cringingly painful. I can see what they're trying to do with this by linking it into the wider monsters universe, but it just doesn't work.
The Mummy (1999) was a fantastic film, full of cheesy fun and humour. They've obviously tried to replicate that here but have failed miserably. If you want to watch a mummy film, don't choose this one!
