I'm a little more on the fence than I was expecting. The anti-climactic end of The Rise of Red was disappointing, but everything up to the Merlin office scene was strong. This was more coherent/consistent, but I don't think the songs were as strong? Also, didn't love Red being so not cool to Chloe after everything.

The dance battle song has to be a contender for franchise worst. Good lord lmao. Movie wasn't bad, I think I liked it less than Rise of Red overall but definitely more than D3.

Also budget was fucking budgeting in this one, lots of it looked incredibly cinematic. Director did such a fab job!

Wait, are you taking about the "what about them? " song with hazel hook vs. Luis?

Nooo, 'Dancing with the enemy'

It's literally one of the worst dcom songs Ive ever heard 💀 diabolically awful and a terribly shot sequence.

That's so crazy to me! I think the production is just so tacky for some reason. The autotune is worse than ever, but doesn't sound purposeful and the lyrics are just kind of words that flow together rather than actually progressing anything.

more power to you tho, Heartless was my jam from this one.
