Part two is just ok... the other universe one if you will with the all female cast, was also just ok. The original is by far the best one out of the group. Keep in mind, the SFX's are from the 80's and have some issues holding up to the newer stuff that is out there, but the cast is outstanding!
Nightmare Alley (2021)- Watch this if you want to see good portrayals in the throughly depressing film noir story that drags. 1940, a carnival, a huckster. It has atmosphere If you can stay awake, yet atmosphere does not a story make.. 
Someone said there is a payoff at the ending, but the payoff was not worth the time invested imo. Note, it really flopped at the box office.
Today my impression is that film noir primarily appeals to older people, but I think if the story was good enough, maybe, and consider it is competing with Marvel, science fiction, and fantasy. It had better be a damned compelling narrative, something like Sam Spade, The Maltese Falcon or even Dixon Hill. Of course those gets thumbs up. First time I watch the MF was in college.

For me this is one movie that I don't know if I want to revisit it, but damn what a ride! I love the ending... But, you are correct, it is a very depressing film.
I know I'm late to the party, but I recently saw Spider-Man: No Way Home and it was just as awesome as everyone says it is. I just love the whole Spider-verse including Venom.
What people may not know is an independent filmmaker made a Venom short film before the Tom Hardy one came out. I remember watching it for the first time and saying "Whoa" out loud when the reveal happens at the end.

CODA. No excuses. Go watch CODA. Now.
If you have to sign up to Apple to watch it, do so.
Oh, and make sure you have some tissues handy. There's one of those glorious weepy bits.
It reminded me of Mr Holland's Opus.

Peppermint (2018)- Rented on Vudu. ? Audiences liked it, critics hated it. Vigilante story. I did not like how this was presented at the beginning, but got pulled in and dug it. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for kick ass broads. Thanks DT.
You’ll be in jail longer than me, hehe.
We’re not going to jail…

Just finished Death on the Nile (2022), both the spouse and I enjoyed it. ? I guessed it from the start, really.
This seemed different than other Agatha Christy stories although I am not well read on her stories, but instead of spending good portion of the movie figuring out who did it, here there was an active killer.
Critics hammered it’s CGI. At best I can say they attempted to give it a stylized look as in happening 90 years ago.
A scene from Death on the Nile has gone viral for its terrible CGI
A scene from Death on the Nile has caused waves online - because people are cracking up over its terrible CGI.The murder mystery based on the Agatha Christie novel recently hit Hulu after being long-delayed. It features a rather problematic cast with the likes of Armie Hammer, Gal Gadot, Russel...

Is that the one with Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French? I saw it on Disney Plus if it was, was ok actually, I thought it was beautifully shot on those locations! Made me want to visit Egypt. I worked out who did it in the first 10 minutes but didn’t know it till, the end, maybe my sub conscious knew from watching other versions of the film before?

Haha I take it back, that’s why it all looked so good to me, it was all fake!
Yea I won't waste my time as the weather is turning good and I'd rather go somewhere out of the city this long weekend.
Duh!
No Way Home (2021)- ?Spider-Man. It’s rare that I would comment on a movie I have not finished, but we got distracted and turned it off for later, although we rented it, and will be driving all day today up to Wichita. However, I saw enough to be turned off. And unless something miraculous happens in this movie, it also proves after looking at Rotten Tomatoes stellar ratings you can’t ever trust ratings.
Some premise spoilers follow
IMO the plot is unworthy. I don’t insist on agreement. Spider-Man’s identity becomes known, he ends up visiting Dr. Strange who through some dialog lets him know there is a spell which could make the world forget he is Spider-Man. And while Strange is trying to cast this spell, adorable Peter (this is so funny!!) keeps changing his request as to who can remember, like 5 times, until the spell becomes corrupted and Strange has to shut it down… except he can’t and it just so happens that a group of Spiderman characters from what we know from previous iterations of the series are brought in from the Multiverse (Isn't this such clever writing? Disney’’s excuse for shoddy plots) into Peter’s world. OH the audience will just ? this!!
Before Strange is going to simply send them back via more magic, it becomes known that several of these characters are dead where they came from, and Strange is logically, responsibly just going to send them back to their proper place and proper fate, (anything is possible with MAGIC!) adorable Peter has a teenage tantrum, oh that’s so cruel!!, and actually starts fighting Strange to stop him, as in fisticuffs.
Well adorable Peter gets his way, he just wants to help and mayhem breaks out. So far, this movie should have been titled, How Peter Parker Single Handedly Screwed The World Up With Help. I did not think it was clever, adorable or even nostalgic to see Green Goblin and Doc Oct even if they are played by the original actors.
Then we got distracted and turned it off. Don’t know if we’ll finish it if we have to rent it again.

While I loved this movie, I'll admit your description isn't inaccurate based on what you've seen so far. I advise you to finish it though as you might be surprised. It had some really well done moments and the character is set up well for future installments.View attachment 1991864

This morning a group of 3rd graders I work with told me I need to see it... so... imma see it.
Just got done watching "The Batman." It was a very dark (character wise) movie. The movie started out strong and got weaker as it progressed. The ending felt as if the writers didn't know how to end the movie. Overall, I think the movie should have been shorter. I give it a B-.
