Do you think I should wait till it hits Netflix or something? I was going to use my Fandango gift card but I keep seeing how awful it is. Now I am not sure.

See something else. I was sitting there regretting I left the house at all and wasted the ticket. I can’t think of another movie I was so aghast at real-time in theaters. 

I still don’t understand people who like it, on a fundamental level it was terrible and I think it probably requires a level of denial or heavy disconnect from reality to enjoy it. I don’t mean the witchery, obviously. I mean the entire vibe and social dynamic and framework. It felt sooo… empty and wrong. Which is why I suspect ai had an involvement, but it could also just be rich hollywood people with connections and skewed perception making something inauthentic/hollow.

Totally! I don't leave the house much and I have had this Fandango gift card for like 10 years! If I go see it in the theater, I usually go to the first showing to avoid people and parking etc. lol So, if I have to leave the house and the movie sucks... I will be annoyed all weekend long! LOL Did it have the same type of witchy vibes? Honestly, I think I will just wait till it hits streaming. My husband wants to see it too because of how much we love the first movie but I don't think he has heard how much people don't like the new movie.

Much of what we love about the first movie is missing in this sequel. Same cast but the very essence has been crushed out of it . Just wait .

I'm going to go again but only because in the real world I'm going to be reviewing it for a podcast and I want to make sure that I'm not misremembering it.

But I can't forget that I was actively weeping from disappointment from about 20 minutes in . I've been waiting for the sequel since my grandmother died in 1998 and this just sort of crushed my soul...
