Not the final installment, Tai West confirmed in February that he's developing a 4th, depending on Maxxxin's reception. In backed this up in May, saying it may be his next project
I used to hang out on Hollywood Blvd. back in 1985 and the film got that right. I liked the movie and will definitely purchase the blu ray when it's released.
I absolutely loved Maxxxine. The overall performances by Goth and Bacon were fantastic. The music was on another lever from your usual 80s nostalgia film. As all the Ti West movies in this trilogy are filmed very stylistic and in very different ways, he has really created a gritty Hollywood crime noir in that Italian thiller genre. I think that might be the reason that Maxine as a character felt isolated, and there wasn't a whole lot of character development for the surrounding cast. The police officers really hilighted that (gaillo style) of storytelling. X would still be my top film, but I thought this was a considerable step above Pearl. The conclusion was a bit safe, and for me, it was a bit predictable, but I'm not too sure that this is the last time we will see Maxine Minx....... you know, because she's a f@%king STAR!
Totally agree. This movie is underwhelming. As a whole, this is definitely the weakest one. If this was the first movie and the other 2 came later, I would see a progression. At this point, it looks like he ran out of interesting story to tell. But nonetheless, I would keep an eye for his next directorial movie. And Mia Goth has been blowing up in the last few years since X.
Thank you for your review! Maybe I'll wait for this one to hit streaming. I've only seen 'Pearl' and thought it had a pretty conventional ending too. Thought Mia Goth was fantastic!
Maxxxine really let me down. I LOVE Mia Goth, Pearl and X. This film had alot of great ingredients but the story overall was weak and I hated the 3rd act so much..I was expecting it to be one of fav movies of the year but I was really let down
You’re slightly nicer to it than I was. 2.5/5 couches from me. I enjoyed the side characters more than Maxine and they only gave the side characters moments and no real development so it was a kind of hard watch for that reason for me personally. I loved Giancarlo Esposito, Moses Sumney, and Bobby Cannavale in this for the little bit they get in this.
This was my most anticipated film of the year. I hate that it was so by-the-numbers. We needed an explosive ending and did not get that. Still, I love Mia Goth, and I will continue to follow her career. Thank you for your review, Chris!
Pearl is my favourite of the trilogy but this instalment kept me engaged and Mia's performance as always was captivating. Supporting cast were good, too. Definitely not as gory as X or Pearl. Maxxxine definitely finished the trilogy off with a nice bow...
I rank them in order of release. X is my favorite bc I love a slasher, Pearl is an outstanding lead performance, but Maxxxine just didn’t have the magic of the first two. I enjoyed it, but only until that disjointed conclusion. Why include the night stalker if we’re not even going to use him in the story? Weird choice
I liked the cheesy ending but i couldn't help but wonder is the killer related to pearl ?? i thought it would have been cool if someone from would have lived and teamed up to help maxxxine
Thank you for the feedback! I actually just had one come in today, so I'll be installing it to see how it looks/functions. I've also just purchased an active ribbon, so I'm excited to try it out and see how it performs.
The movie is okay but to me it's the weakest of the trilogy. Maxine was one of the least interesting characters in the movie. And don't get me started on that third act. Wow. SMH🤦♂️
@@Father_Daniel I was so psyched for it too. I even watched X on Netflix before it left the streaming service. This movie squandered Mia Goth's talent for a fantastic ending of the trilogy.
I really enjoyed Maxxxine. Ti West did hold back a little it seems. The ending was probably the most expected conclusion, but it was a fun ride. A great trilogy. I really liked all the movies. I would probably go in the same order as you, but they are all close to each other. Mia Goth did an amazing job.
I really enjoyed MaXXXine. I get your point on the conclusion. I wanted it to be more sinister and darker. Overall, a fantastic trilogy. 1. Pearl 2. X 3. MaXXXine

Chris, I love all your reviews. When you don't post, I miss it. Just a positive energy that makes my day better!!!
I really appreciate hearing that, the break was really nice and beneficial, but it's also great to be back to watching and reviewing!

Tbh I was kinda bored during this. The story and characters are so bland. Personally I would give X a 4, pearl 3.5, maxxxine 2.5

Another great recap and Thank you too 👍👍👍👍

I left early, I was so excited about this,Hated it

I could have used a ton more of Sumney... and I definitely agree that the lack of development hurt the overall enjoyment.
After Quiet Place Day One Borefest, I don't want to pay for another.
Mia Goth is truly amazing actress and beautiful young lady too. Which I'm shocked she's in her 30's 💐💐💐💐
Chris, your output is amazing! How do you manage your time to watch as much as you do, edit, and post your videos?
This was my most anticipated film of the year. I hate that it was so by-the-numbers. We needed an explosive ending and did not get that. Still, I love Mia Goth, and I will continue to follow her career.
Thank you for your review, Chris!
It's weird, right, that Ti West chose to end on such a conventional note. Still fun, but I would have loved to see something off the rails.
I agree, I was expecting so much more and the ending in my opinion was terrible
Ha! I rate them in that exact order - X, Maxxxine, Pearl. Seems like a lot of ppl like Pearl the most and Maxxxine the least. 🤷♀️
Pearl is my favourite of the trilogy but this instalment kept me engaged and Mia's performance as always was captivating. Supporting cast were good, too. Definitely not as gory as X or Pearl. Maxxxine definitely finished the trilogy off with a nice bow...
I loved MAXXXINE❤. It didn't lack anything, and Miss Goth was amazing in it. I give the entire X trilogy 10/10 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hugely entertaining film for me.loved the sleazy 80s vibe.mia goth is fab and i dont get the hate for the ending - it worked for me.
I rank them in order of release. X is my favorite bc I love a slasher, Pearl is an outstanding lead performance, but Maxxxine just didn’t have the magic of the first two.

I liked the cheesy ending but i couldn't help but wonder is the killer related to pearl ?? i thought it would have been cool if someone from would have lived and teamed up to help maxxxine
I would actually put X then Pearl then Maxxxine as order of favorites but I have watched X and Pearl many times I'm sure I'll Maxxxine many times too
Thank you very much!
Love the new mic, but I think it needs a pop filter. I say this as a professional voice actor who always appreciates your reviews.
Thank you for the feedback! I actually just had one come in today, so I'll be installing it to see how it looks/functions. I've also just purchased an active ribbon, so I'm excited to try it out and see how it performs.
@@MoviesAndMunchies I'm excited to follow along with your audio experimentation.
Been excited to see this follow up
The movie is okay but to me it's the weakest of the trilogy. Maxine was one of the least interesting characters in the movie. And don't get me started on that third act. Wow. SMH🤦♂️
I completely agree! I thought the 3rd act was terrible! I'm such a huge fan of Mia goth and these movies and this one really, really let me down
@@Father_Daniel I was so psyched for it too. I even watched X on Netflix before it left the streaming service. This movie squandered Mia Goth's talent for a fantastic ending of the trilogy.
I didn’t like it at all either. Was so excited for it and was disappointed
I still think X is the weakest. It’s not Ti West’s fault, but how many throwbacks to Chainsaw Massacre do we need?
I really enjoyed Maxxxine. Ti West did hold back a little it seems. The ending was probably the most expected conclusion, but it was a fun ride. A great trilogy. I really liked all the movies. I would probably go in the same order as you, but they are all close to each other. Mia Goth did an amazing job.
Mia was so awesome! Did you happen to see her in Infinity Pool? She has this moment of transformation and it is both riveting and frightening.
@@MoviesAndMunchies I definitely did. She was amazing in Infinity Pool. That movie was definitely wild. LOL
I give all three perfect scores.
I really enjoyed MaXXXine. I get your point on the conclusion. I wanted it to be more sinister and darker. Overall, a fantastic trilogy.
1. Pearl
2. X
3. MaXXXine
Pearl 10/10
X 8.9/10
Maxxxine 4/10 💩
Thank you
Cool
From all the mediocre reviews I will wait until it's on some platform.
Ignore the reviews and go see.i loved it !
X was very good, Pearl was shit. Not got high hopes for Maxxxine
Was disappointed by this movie. The weakest in the trilogy. X and pearl were much more entertaining.
I didn’t really care for the first 2 but MaXXXine was great! Loved how it dripped with 80’s fear, ridiculousness & style
First!
This is a very overrated trilogy imo. It's not horror, just some slasher bits and that's it.
This iss a crappy movie - Period - Nothing from start to finish was good
X was great the other two smh 😒
X > Maxxxine > Pearl
