There are a lot of amazing burns in this review, but:

“Consequently, long-abused fans of the franchise are treated to a meandering retread of the earlier installments’ greatest hits, along with a handful of Spielberg homages peppered in as a vivid reminder of exactly who Trevorrow isn’t as a filmmaker.”

I instinctively…

No, that’s the Scientology guy in Top Gun: Maverick.

The most impressive thing, to me, is somehow making special effects that look worse than the original movie.  You gotta work hard for shit to look that lousy these days.

By the way, and I know the following is petty and on a level I usually don’t stoop to with films, but I really hope that Top Gun Maverick eviscerates this film in a manner similar as Maverick taking out those enemy planes.

By the way, for anyone who might know, why are they hiding now that everyone knows that Maisie Lockwood is a clone? I mean it’s not illegal and I don’t really know what the threat to her would be? Actually, wouldn’t she be a billionaire as the sole inheritor of that estate?

Are they going to have a repeat of that scene where that coded-as-bitch is dunked by pterodactyls that was somehow both the worst part and the best part of the first one?

Wasn’t Dr. Sattler married to some guy in JP3? Did that not work out and now they’re trying to shoehorn in romance with Dr. Grant?

Scott Tobias himself said it was a D-:

velociraptors that can be directed by a laser pointer

Jesus Christ this movie sounds like a mess.

god damn it’s rare you see io9 and av club united in opinion but boy-o this sounds as awful as everyone thought it was.

I’m just hoping this movie contains the line, “Somehow, Alan Grant has returned.”

Bateman wanted to shoot the whole thing with a deep blue color filter ala Ozark.

Hrm. Rose Gilroy seems to have zero experience writing films. She seems intelligent, but with $100 million in just the rights, Apple is taking a very big chance on an unknown.

I will not stand for this The Perfect Score erasure :) 

I’m so pissed I’m not going to be able to watch this in theaters. 

This is all just an elaborate setup for the shock reveal that Sidney is the killer in Scream 6. After being around so many killing sprees she finally started wondering what all the fuss was about and decided to give it a try herself.

Sorta felt like they closed the chapter on Sidney’s story in Scream 4. It was the perfect cap to her story. She’s the original. She’s finally out, and then Scream 5 had her married with kids. Let Sidney be happy.

You know, Amazon is a LOT of things, BUT...thanks to Amazon, they rebuilt our baseball field at the school i work for into a legit stadium as they shot some of the show there.
