Tears. That's the state I was in after watching this film. The story is well-paced, though in my opinion it could have been better, but the conclusion is the one this series deserves. Tommy Shelby's character had stagnated in the series after season 5, even though, mind you, he's iconic and the GOAT, but still. He finally needed an ending, and that's what this film gives him, and it's the ending he deserves: peace. As for the film itself, it has a good script, as I said, a beautiful aesthetic that I love, an absolutely masterful soundtrack, and a way of filming and editing the scenes that gives you chills. Regarding the new characters, Breckett's character is rather forgettable in my opinion, with villainous potential that, in my humble opinion, could have been better. Kaulo, on the other hand, has incredible potential, she's simply iconic, bringing back the Polly Gray vibes just the right amount. And then she’s played by Rebecca Ferguson, a goddess, really. Duke, however, will hopefully be more developed in future projects, because right now, we're dealing with a character who, in my opinion, doesn't even know who he really is. He has enormous potential, but he'll never be a Thomas Shelby, and I hope no one tries to turn him into that. Tommy needs a legacy, not a pale imitation.

It was a really great experience, I'm so glad I saw it at the cinema. I listen to some of Michael's most famous songs, but aside from that and the darker aspects that come up when you Google his name, my knowledge of him ended there. I'm hoping for a sequel that explores his flaws and darker sides, because this one, apart from showing us the childlike Michael Jackson breaking away from his family and father, well, there's not much there. But it's not bad at all! This film explored his life from 1966 to 1988, so his glorious beginnings and his idea for Neverland. Now, my expectation for the sequel is that it will maintain the same artistic quality and acting, while keeping the true story authentic. My fear is that his "flaws," whatever they may be, will be glossed over to portray a different image of reality. For me, Neverland should definitely be mentionned, and the accusations should be mentioned as well, because they are part of his life, pre or post-mortem, and a biopic MUST tell the life of an artist/personality as plausibly as possible. At least that’s my opinion of it.

Okay, my favorite Scream movie is the fourth one, but i think this one might take its place. The murders are brutal, the killer ruthless and bringing Stu back is such a good idea (at least to me, a Stu Macher stan). But the plot twist? Gods, majestic. It’s obviously a remake of a remake of the first one, but hey! That’s what we love after all.
