MaXXXine

I might've been a little too hyped to see this third installment of the X trilogy because I left the theater somewhat disappointed.

Mia Goth rocks the role of Maxine. But the character deserved a better finale. The stakes didn't feel high enough. I'm a fan of Kevin Bacon, but his character wasn't threatening at all. He was more comical (in an annoying way) and given way too much screen time.

The kills were ok. The detectives were one dimensional characters... and the finale was anti-climactic. I would've liked to have seen something more with a Tarantino vibe.

The best part of the movie (aside from Mia) was the use of 80s music and nostalgia. But I can't really attribute that to the filmmakers.

Not a bad movie by any means. All of the elements were there. But the final product just wasn't as dynamic as it could've been.
