Laughably bad
This isnt the type of film I'd usually be interested in, but when you're stuck at home & this is the latest Sky premiere, it seems rude not to watch it.

To be fair, this film made me laugh so it was fairly entertaining. However I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional. It made me laugh at how cheesy and bad and cliched it was. The script is terrible, and the majority of scenes are predictable and cliched. Like the swimming and motivational speeches in a lull between gator attacks, and the characters seemingly strange and inexplicable actions and doing completely the wrong thing (like shouting for helping metres away in a category 5 hurricane). This really made me giggle, but also made me want to bang my head against the wall it was so cringeworthy.

The effects too are pretty terrible. They dont look too bad in the darker more cramped basement scenes, but everything else looks pretty second rate. There's a decent amount of gore but even this gets ridiculous when you start to consider the amount of injuries these characters are obtaining without dying.

To be quite honest, this isnt the worst creature horror I've ever seen but it is definitely not the best. I'd suggest Lake Placid might be a better option.

okay so I wanna hit on my bad point. I'm not saying this is a terrible thing, the map being huge. but there were a few times when my next location in the story was literally on the other side of the map and no side quests to level me up on the way there. you have to spend alot of time strategizing your next choice in quests which isn't a horrible thing in itself. but sometimes I wanna just roam around and explore and you might miss something by doing that on this game.

Absolutely awful
I think this is possibly the worse film of 2017 so far. Guy Ritchie's usual style just does not work in this setting. Strange, as it worked very well in the Sherlock Holmes films, but it just doesn't work here. The CGI is awful, the casting is terrible (the mage and David Beckham's cameo to name just a couple) and the story itself is just nonsense. The only thing that does work in this film is Charlie Hunnam, who is likeable and charismatic, surprising considering what he's got to work with script and story wise.

What does happen is anything but scary
Terrible
It's not very often that I consider walking out of a movie. It's only happened on a handful of occasions and I usually try and stick it out, just in case I miss some huge U-turn which turns the movie from a 2 out of 10 to an 8 or a 9. The Witch was a movie I found myself hating early on. I stuck with it, hoping for that U-turn, but it never came. What people saw in this I'll never understand. But then I liked 'Blair Witch', so maybe it's me!

So bad it's not even worth watching
I wanted to switch this off after 20 minutes it was that bad. For some bizarre reason, the modern DC films apart from the new Wonder Woman, have been exceptionally awful. From the acting, to the absolutely ridiculous plot, the beginning of the film feels like the middle of the story so it makes no sense whatsoever. The characters are mismatched and the dialogue are all equally terrible. Harley Quinn as per usual is super sexualised for no apparent reason. The only good thing was some of the music. Don't bother to watch it.
  
Utterly terrible, boring, and cliche. The plot involves the Salem Witch Trials, reincarnation, and zombies, which I'm not saying can't work, it just didn't with this one. Not one thing or person in this book bore any resemblance to those in the series, other than using the same names, and the dialogue was beyond awkward. I'm not even sure the author ever saw the show. Everything was so cardboard. No, I'm wrong, it was far worse than that, more like cardboard that had been out in a torrential downpour. For a week. Gross, soggy, mushy cardboard. Filled with rat turds. Not recommended at all.

Addicting but lots of problems.
I use to be on Tumblr non stop but slowly faded out of it but I still get on every once in awhile.

The apps not terrible it's just I've always found that half of the stuff doesn't load there are so many ads on it and I don't know I just don't feel like it does is good in and out but trying to load it in a web browser on your phone doesn't really help either I'm not really sure what they could do to improve it I just know that I'm not a huge fan of it in app form.
