Wynonna Earp: Vengeance

Good fun to watch.

Melanie Scrofano's acting as Wynonna is sublime and the best part of the movie. The chemistry between Wynonna and Doc Holliday is off the charts and is central to the movie. Tim Rozon shines as in my view the best version of Doc Holliday to hit the screens. There is a shocking plot twist related to Doc which pulls at your heart strings and was befitting of the growth of Doc's character. There's quality earp sister content which is the heart of the show. Wynonna battles against the demon of the day with her demon killing gun peacemaker in true wynonna fashion. Its action packed and fast paced. The actress playing the villain had me feeling very afraid for Wynonna. The hell scene is my favourite. Tubi, the streaming service, I believe, according to the writer/show runner wanted a film that didnt lean back much into the previous lore so that new viewers would be attracted. As a result it wasnt quite a continuation of the series and has a more season 1 introductory feeling. I watched the film with my non Earper brother and he enjoyed it too. The film is a 10/10 for me and I could easily watch it again and a again. It was everything an Earper would want. I hope this film opens the doors to a season 5 or sequel. Winner of the Best TV Movie at the Canadian Screen Awards 2025 perhaps is all the review that is needed!

There better be a sequel because this movie should've ended with doc and wynonna building their house and getting alice.

Unless this gets FIXED I will need a lobotomy to delete this movie from my brain so I can keep the season 4 ending thank you.

But honestly, it was great to see the gang back and it had some really funny moments and all around heart. I love wynonna earp with all my heart and was so excited to go back to Purgatory but I can't help but feel a little betrayed by the ending of this movie. I'm praying this is not the last we will see of them because it would be quite the disservice to the fans. I want to believe.

I loved the show, but this is not a good movie.

The pacing is all over the place, mostly rushing from one plot point to another without hitting any of the emotional notes in between.

The plot itself is.. meh. It has some promise, but feels underdeveloped and - again - rushed.

The plot holes are numerous, the dialog is poor (the usually sassy, snazzy quipping is now mostly one-note crude), and even the acting is pretty bad. Which is weird as we know the actors are more than capable.

The special effects range from ok to awful, and I can't even grasp what they were going for with the "hellhounds". Community Theatre vibes maybe?

But most of all, the characters feel off and although emotional stakes are mentioned they don't actually _feel_ emotional.

I did enjoy the "Wynonna Earp" series, but I was unaware that they also spewed out movies. And thus, as I happened to stumble upon the 2024 movie "Wynonna Earp: Vengeance" by random chance here in 2024, I was taken aback by surprise, but needed no persuasion to sit down and watch the movie.

Writer Emily Andras put together a fair enough script, but I have to say that the script somehow failed to fully sink its hook in me and reel me in. Sure, the movie was watchable, but I was sitting with an overshadowing sense of 'pick up the pace and throw in something exciting' throughout the course of the 96 minutes that the movie ran for.

It definitely was nice to see Melanie Scrofano and Tim Rozon reprising their roles of Wynonna Earp and John Henry 'Doc' Holliday respectively. And they do carry the movie quite nicely. And I have to say that it was a treat to have the witty banter between Wynonna and Doc on the screen again. There is a great chemistry between Melanie Scrofano and Tim Rozon.

Sure, "Wynonna Earp: Vengeance" was watchable and enjoyable, especially if you enjoyed the series. But there was just something crucial missing from this 2024 movie.

My rating of director Paolo Barzman's 2024 movie lands on a five out of ten stars.

I love Wynonna Earp and the surrounding characters. I watched the finale and loved it. This feature had no pizazz or comedy. The humor was non existent. The plot was terrible. Everything fell flat on its face. It's like the people that wrote this had never seen an episode of Wynonna Earp. I am going to consider this as if had never happened. I have the entire show on dvd so that's all I'll ever need.

They could have come up with a hundred different scenarios that would have been more entertaining than this. Hell, I would have liked seeing Bobo again back for revenge.

It was nice seeing the characters back together that's for sure but come up something more substantial. I was just plain disappointed.
