I enjoyed it as well, but i also like the horror genre for all its flaws, it had some, but overall it was entertaining and ive honestly enjoyed every single 28 installment so far. I also love every friday the 13th, nightmare on elmstreet, childs play/chucky installment, etc etc. Because even when they are bad, the bad is still entertaining.

Jumping on the hate bandwagon for every single movie or game that comes out, just makes you enjoy life a little less in my opinion. And its only a matter of time when people look back on these movies and realize they were just being harsh because everyone else was.

Same thing with virtually every single franchise saga or trilogy ever made. People shit on them, then years later they get memed, and then they give them a chance and more often than not, enjoy them, without the noise and social pressure to appear like some "superior critic" when they are just somebody who spends all their time scrolling reels for dopamine rather than mining it themselves through the creative process that is creating art itself, and claiming that reward the honourable old fashioned way. Through hard work and dedication to a task or craft.

I work in film, so maybe its the struggle i know that happens behind the scenes that makes me empathize and enjoy the technical aspects others may not understand or know about. But its a good watch, most people only care about the alphas massive fake penis, but it gets the people talking, and it for sure brought people to the seats. Love it or hate it, some makeup SFX artist lovingly sculpted, casted, molded, painted, and mounted that dick onto the actor for weeks or months, and it became the immortal centerpiece of what is already a fantastic example of modern practical art. They filmed it with cellphones for petes sake.

It was well made, haters can suck a big alpha dick for all i care. Kudos to the cast and crew. Maximum profit doesnt equal artistic success. That is solely a personal achievement between the artists, and the artists themselves.
