I haven't seen Eternals yet but I didn't mind Birds of Prey or Black Widow. WW84 wasn't the worst but it was very disappointing. WW84 is the worst DCEU movie probably, not counting the theatrical cuts of Suicide Squad and Justice League from 2016 and 2017. It was just so juvenile and wasted so much potential, the action scenes were weak, and the re-use of A Beautiful Lie from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice felt so strange and out of place, not only that but they didn't keep Diana as a warrior. I think the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman was weaker too. Honestly I can't even really say it's the worst because there are some really solid moments. The acting, Cheetah and the ending are some of the highlights. But it does feel very juvenile with plot devices and kind of had an off-balance with the drama and action.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare was originally going to be about the town of Springwood overcoming their fears with Freddy and they would take sleeping pills to bully Freddy and he became less and less powerful. Then Freddy kills someone and everyone is alarmed again giving Freddy the strength he has again. And all of this was thought up of by Peter Jackson of all people.
Would've been way more interesting and better than following an amnesiac dude meanwhile discovering Freddy's secret child as a way to sympathize with him, only to make him look even more unlikeable than before.

I feel like I like the theatrical cut more. Like okay, it's worse made and makes less sense, but I feel like the third act of the Producer's Cut ruins it and Michael is scarier and more brutal in the theatrical cut. Either way I like this movie way more than 5. The fact that he's not even the one to kill Jamie and instead she gets whacked Goodfellas-style really sucks. The kills in the Theatrical are actually kinda great. The head explosion, the corn thrasher thing (brutal as hell), Michael snapping the dude's spine out of his neck, etc. On the other hand, less Loomis and more fart metal score. I agree with all of this, besides maybe the metal score. I don't actually mind it but I see why people favour the PC score, more in-line with the classic score(s).

I like Universe 1 the best. Though doesn't Leatherface: TCM III technically ignore TCM 2? Yes, that's my doubt too! I heard it is a continuation of the original, so I guess it makes another continuity. |

A great actress that is in a lot of stuff but doesn't get the true recognition she deserves for some reason.
