MaXXXine

Mia Goth is great, Kevin Bacon is very good as a sleazy PI, Debicki is also good, the cinematography, costumes, sound and soundtrack are good as well. But the storyline is dumb, the last 15 minutes or so are ridiculous and not in a fun way. The movie seems a bit cheap, probably they worked on a tight budget. We don't see much of the 1980s Hollywood or LA, it doesn't say much about the moviemaking business, nor is it a good thriller, horror or psychological drama. It's bits of all these things, but convincing at one. Mia Goth is a true movie star though. Excellent actress, gorgeous too, she's the reason why I give it 5 stars instead of only 3.

This is the movie I was the most excited about out of three. I am a bit sad it was a bit underwhelming.

It is certainly the weakest of the 3. I watched it with my family and we all agreed.

It's just not a compelling story, what exactly is the point? The character development is also extremely shallow, I wasn't really rooting for anyone.

Now, I do love the horror film homages, I loved the chase in the movie set, it reminded me of Scream 3.

I also loved seeing the Bates Motel and the House from Psycho.

Visually it's also beautiful. This looks like it was shot on actual film. It is grainy, vibrant, colorful, lots of contrast, the camera work was great. I just love when a film looks like a film and not an amazon ad. The tone was also a mess, it's a bit of a thriller, a bit of a drama, and just a tiny bit of a horror.

Sadly, the story just falls short, it just wasn't the grand epic finale I was expecting.

I was waiting for the third movie from this franchise but i was kind of disappointed!

"X" and "Pearl" were really good and with lots of suspenseful scenes, gory scenes and darker tone!

This one was a little bit more of a thriller drama with some good '80s soundtracks but it's lacks the feelings of suspenseful and scary mood. The killing scenes could be more brutal and much bloodier. There's blood but mid level. There's action but mid level. It's more like a slow burner of who dunn it and the twist at the very end was kinda predictable if you ask me.

Mia Goth remains one of the greatest young actresses of her generation, she's gorgeous. I was pleased by Esposito and Bacon.

It's a 6 out of 10 from me! "X" remain my favourite and "Pearl" the next!

Shoutout to the filmmakers for a great trailer because that's about where the greatness ends.

This film has a pretty solid start for the first 15-20 minutes that seems to set the tone, but it abandons that tone along the way pretty fast. The plot is lackluster and does nothing at all to make you care about any of the characters other than Maxine. Although, sometimes, Maxine is insufferable. Several of the decisions she makes in the movie do not make sense and are incredibly inconsistent with the character.

EVERY "twist" in the movie's plot is predictable if you've watched more than 10 movies in your lifetime.

Kevin Bacon was awesome as usual. That's the only reason I gave this a 3.

In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. However, as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Los Angeles, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.

Maxxine is a film that really emphasizes style but falls short in the substance department. While I appreciated the throwbacks to slasher and horror films of the 80s, the plot and execution felt a bit disjointed and lacked coherence. Despite this, the film's unique style ultimately triumphs over its shortcomings. Mia Goth once again delivers an enigmatic performance, though her character felt less compelling compared to the previous instalments in the trilogy.

The third act was somewhat disappointing as it didn't live up to the intense buildup. As a fan of the genre, I found elements to enjoy, but I couldn't help feeling let down by the less-than-epic finale, especially after the thrilling conclusions of the previous two films.
