Happy 2025 mate! Great review!

Welcome back! I’m going to give this one a shot tonight.

This movie was disappointing and trash 🗑️ the first one was better

I just watched this movie today. I’m so glad I found your video, dude. The points you made about the entity being overpowered, the lore and narrative not being expanded upon at all and the main characters unceremonious fate at the end along with all the incoherent psychological horror made this film a HUGE disappointment.

Loved it too, saw it 2x!!! Guess what?!! Hugh Grant has been nominated best actor for Heretic 😂. Usually movies like this don't get nominations.

I personally love Smile 2, but I can understand why you would not like it as much as others do. Especially with the ending and the idea that the story is very similar to the first movie.

Honestly, I don’t think this movie would’ve been as well received as it was without Naomi Scott’s acting and Parker’s directing. While there a few components to this movie that were anywhere from cliche to disappointing (like the end, for example), it’s a very well put together movie with great acting that really adds an element of immersion and depth to it.

Terrible movie

Horrible take…

10/10 as a romantic comedy sprinkled with a bit of drama. GO WATCH IT!

Thank you for being the only person I see who thinks of it as I do. And exactly like you, I also heard the announcement for a Smile 2 and thought “wait, what could they possibly add to the lore?” and the answer is “nothing”. And I shouldn’t be disappointed, but I am because I WANTED this movie to surprise me or do something new but it doesn’t. As for the ending, oh boy, yeah. Like I kinda expected Morris (but sorry, he’s Dr. Chris Taub to me) to actually be able to help her, or I expected her to find a solution because seeing someone defeating this entity WOULD be news and make the watch worth it. But nope. And also, the way I feel about these movies as a whole is kind of complicated. Because I love horror, I love when horror has commentary, and I love when mental health is addressed in a way that doesn’t feel cheap. And I’ve been facing some lifelong mental health issues, and I know that if I wanted to feel good I wouldn’t have to watch horror movies, but… what these horror movies are saying is so irresponsible. Like yeah, your mental illness will always win, there is no way out, and even if you say “I’m in control, not you” that’s always gonna be just a delusion and the only inevitable way to end it is suicide? Really? Like… i don’t know man. And also, wrt the fact that the whole latter part of the movie is fake is so disappointing. Because I’m done with that bullshit too. It worked with Oculus, and that’s the only movie I’ve seen that pulled it off well, anything else is just an asspull in my opinion. Like, give me any other movie where they pull the rug with “none of that happened” that doesn’t feel like the writers were just lazy and not committed to writing something with real weight. Again, Oculus is the only movie I ever saw that did that consistently and where that feels earned, because the delusions actually do something in the characters’ real life. Anyway, I’m glad I was able to verify I’m not the only one feeling this way about this movie. Was starting to believe I am alone in this.

Couldn't agree more. I was waiting the whole time for it to get interesting, and then it was over. Never been so irritated. Such a disappointment.

Hah, Truth or Dare was the first thing I thought of when watching the first one lol. I kinda wonder if the idea partially came from that lol. Truth or Dare was so amazing, though. One of my favorite so bad they circle all the way to good movies.

This was not an Excellent film however it was not too bad for a B movie. It was worth watching, I like the plot but the writers could've done a better job, it had some interesting moments. If you a movie ticket to watch it you will probably be disappointed but if you watch it free at movie night at home with your family it's all good. I give it a C+.

stop trying to be different -_- yall are just hating at this point because there are too many jumpscares?? like just enjoy what we got, it could have been way worse

I was disappointed that they killed Skye off and they let the demon win again at the end. I thought there was a chance she would defeat and kill the demon, but it didn't happen in the end. I was pissed off. Naomi Scott was amazing as Skye, but the ending was ruined.

Garbage movie and junk overacting

It was schizophrenia. It had gone so long untreated that she was psychotic. Her kids developed it as well. The hand on Sam’s shoulder in the picture was showing that he has it also. When he said “she loves me more at the end, it was letting you know that he did say it earlier and was experiencing early symptoms.

I come to your videos frequently starting after you said you preferred Barbie over Oppenheimer because that tells me your reviews are genuine and I trust what you say. Not because I necessarily agree but because it would have been alot easier for you to say the opposite as most reviewers did.

Consider the follow on Bluesky done!

On wards and upwards mate for 2025! I watch your video as your honest and yet you not horrible about things you don't like , you give you reviews without all the bs which makes a nice change!!

Just like hearing your opinion on the film and I’ll go watch the film when the review is out. I’ll be here for all the next videos. Cheers.

I've only seen the original and the first 6 sequel set. Those 7 are enough for me.

"buddy you'd never survive Art the Clown" 😂😂

I didnt watch any trailer so i went in with no expectations. I was very entertained. I dont agree that it SUCKS bc thats a strong word. Its more psychological horror imo and the actors (especially grandma) did an awesome job making me uncomfortable

Completely disagree,solid flick actually it's better than the first movie.Hell of a performance by Naomi Scott

Yall expext way to much from films.

I don’t think the forest was haunted. I think the evil entity was somehow attached to the mother. When Nolan locked her in the greenhouse, she said that she was the one who brought the evil there. Of course there was never an explanation as to how she did. Perhaps it had to do with her past? The snake tattoo…the way she said that she was once a different person…I just wish that part had been made clear. How exactly did she bring that evil there? And why exactly was the house their safe place? What was so special about it specifically? Just too many questions…

Just too many unnecessary scenes in this movie.

This is the kind of review I’ve been looking for. All my exact thoughts. I’m really frustrated with all the praise for this movie. How is everyone so pleased with a movie that takes back almost everything you’ve seen? Think about all the time spent on her and her best friend after they reconnected. Only to find out that it never happened. And we found that out during a sequence that also wasn’t happening? The smiling people jumping her in her apartment is the start of about 25 minutes of straight fakery up until she walks on stage. But people say this is better than the first and best of the year. How is this happening?

This movie was awesome! Seen it twice in theaters now 😊

You was confused too

I couldn't understand it

😂😂😂😅

Everything about the movie was amazing EXCEPT for the character motivations and plot. Those are arguably the two most important things in a movie. If Shinkai gave Suzume (the character) some fleshing out... maybe she was anti-social, maybe she had a hard time developing relationships. Something to make her developing those relationships throughout the story MEAN something to the audience, it could have worked. By the end I kept asking myself "What was the point of this movie???". There were no lessons, there was no motivation, nothing mattered!

Many times better then fury road and furiosa. Also better than the first movie which was to slow in a large part of it.

i was laughing throughout the whole movies especially the staffs in the room scene lmao....i mean if the smile was more subtle and friendly one, it would have been more creepier but i dont think they have any artistic vision lol

I saw this tonight and I loved it!! Grant was phenomenal. It was very suspenseful, good tension, philosophical, cerebral, creepy, and thought provoking. Third act was surprising. Very unique script and excellent dialogue that keeps you engaged.

TBFR, i didnt like the first movie. I thought the smiling enitity passed by trauma was stupid and boring. I tried to watch the sequel and it was long and drawn out and the same beats of the story.

Just watched the substance, it was so horrific but it was such a good movie, Elizabeth was fine just the way she was but I preferred Sue, the monstrous elizasue was too much for sure

I agree with your opinion on this one. I was looking forward to this one but was left very unsatisfied and with questions. I kept waiting to see them show how/why she killed her parents or the father of her children. At the point where she kills herself and leaves the kids to fend for themselves, it shot downhill fast. I feel like with something like that, that you probably didn't see coming, they could have done something darker or more interesting with the children fending for themselves, but no. I have questions, but honestly I'm not even that worried about having answers to them and I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. It was just meh, and I would never watch it again.

Kind of my reaction too! 😂 HolyShit!!! WTF!!!!!!

Yea! It was awesome!

This looks good!

This looked really interesting to me so I'm happy to hear this! Looking forward to seeing it.

Going this weekend! ✌🏻
